Another much cheaper solution is to buy a polycompund in a caulk tube and put that in your mount to stiffen it up. It's a silica based black tar like compoun I can't remember what it's called.

Works just as well, it's ugly, but it works like a champ.

EDIT: Found it, it's 3m windshield adhesive.

I tried some on mine when I happened to have some laying around. Throttle response was a tad better.

Do you just fill in the gaps around the mount with the "windo-weld"? Is there a DIY on this? I wouldn't want to fill the wrong part!

Yes there is a DIY for it. its either in the FAQs thread at the top of the forum, or you can search the archives. and yes, you just fill in the open area in the mount.

The only draw back about this if i remember correctly besides the rough look, is the curing it time it takes for them to be ready to install back on your car.

Personally, i'd just go with the motor mount inserts. They are not very expensive and will just save you the time and effort of the DIY. just my $0.02

EDIT: there was a DIY for it... it was an old thread. Regardless, it isnt hard to do and does not require any further explanation to complete. Just expect at least a week for the inside of mount to fully cure.

yes, you'd have to let the goop sit for a day or so, it does look rough, but it does the same job.
