Well I have done some searching bout could not find many results. I have these Avids... they claimed they were the street compound... but they seem pretty bad... and there is no way of checking what softness they are from what I know. I even drove with the hood off... and man that 2 liter does not move when I get on it... at all lol

I was thinkin of paying out the cash for a set of soft Hasports... but before I throw down my hard earn bread.. has anyone had any success with drilling of dimpling their mounts?

Honestly it sounds like it would work.

 

get new mounts. you dont want your engine snapping around metal to metal....

 

I do not think you understand.... I am talking about drilling and removing small portions of the mount. Alot of people misunderstand how stiff these are... Should drive it and video it without the hood

 

i would think the vibrations will still be there... cause your not changing the stiffness of the compound .... maybe im not understanding as well...

 

What wrong with having really stiff mounts? other than a little vibration

 

post above is right its the compound that is making it viberate. drilling it will only vibrate it more and make the mounts slap around.

 

How will drilling it make it vibrate more? By adding holes, it should weaken the compound and allow it to "give" more. In theory, I could see it reducing vibration. In practice, I see the mounts tearing and the engine ultimately vibrating more from banging around.

Don't cobble **** up, get aftermarkets.

He already has after-markets:

from his first post: "I have these Avids"

I still dont see anything bad with having stiff mounts

Again I really think you are under estimating how stiff they are. The engine does not move... under hard acceleration ... at all!

Did you not read the post?..the vibration is what I am complaining about.


I would have to pull the rear out again and see if they moosh very much at all. If not, and the material itself is real hard it would be pointless. It would mean if I drilled it.... it would be weaker... not stiffer.

However if the materiel is kinda soft and has some give... then they should be able to flex enough to absorve some of the movement if they were drilled.

I was just looking to see if anyone has done this before.

 

badboyr66, so your just complaining about vibration

I wouldnt drill hole; If you dont like the mounts, sell them and buy the softer ones.

 

Yeah maybe... pretty soon the car will be parked anyways


Anyone else have any experience ?

 

the point of aftermarket mounts are to stop the engine from tweaking. i have solid motor mounts in my street car so i do understand that the motor hardly move's in your car because mine does not at all and vibrates like a ******. if you dont like that the mounts make your car viberate, get new mounts. dont tamper with the compound. end of story

 

Look I can appreciate everyone's opinion here... but I would like to hear from others that have done it from first hand experience. I have posted this question on two other forums and had another first hand experiences posted...except for here

 

try and trade them for some softer mounts, but honestly is your motor healthy?

i have stiff mounts as well and when my plugs are bad i get alot of vibration, but when everything is running smooth i have a beautiful idle

i road in my friends 35R with big *** injectors and whatnot, and the mounts are stiffer then mine, and it idles less because his motor is in better shape

at least something to think about

Very healthy... from inside out. I keep it in perfect running order. Again..the motor does not move even when driving it hard. And again I have driven with the hood off to see what kind of movement they were getting. When I say vibration it creates more of a buzzing... not like the dash is going to fall out or anything. Just vibrating though ought the car... slowly making things loose and make noise.

working or not is not the issue, i just would not trust it! motors are not cheap

 

wat?

are you talking to me or are you shocked by the idea of this thread, i cant tell

 

you .. not sure what you are saying but if you care to explain

If anything .. I am surprised everyone keeps posting... if you do not have first hand experience.. don't post! Everyone is trying to throw whatever they can to "have the answer"... yet no one has answered me. Please stop throwing this extra crap on my thread. Please read and respect it. If you can respond top the question... do not post

ok, your asking if drilling the mounts will work, i am saying if it works or not does not matter as you taking material off or you engine mount bushings, those things hold your engine up! I have seen them fail when NOT modified so i fear that drilling them may cause a premature failure and your engine can potentially fall/hit the ground, i have seen it happen before! Is that a better explanation?

 

No not really at all... again explain how these would fail... you even know what I am talking about drilling? Give it some thought.... even if 60% of the material was removed from the rear mount... then there are the other very solid mounts there, holding the engine. And even then since the rearre mount takes all of the torque. On top of that there is a pretty solid bolt running through it. I think I would have some pretty wack problems other than damage to the motor. There would be some pretty damn obvious problems long before I did damage to the motor.


So... I am more concern with ruining the mounts before ruining the motor

OK Mr. BadAttitude, you seem to know so much about the topic why are you asking? It seems you already know your going to do it and you already have a firm opinion and you just want people to agree with you so why start a thread? Yes i know wtf you talking about ive only been doing this honda sh*t for 8 years now. And I'm not going to "again" explain it to you, your not looking for information your looking for people to agree with you.

good luck with whatever you do, unsubscribed.

Thanks for unsubscribing


I do not have a bad attitude...
I just do not want a bunch of people talking about things they have no experience in... read the thread... I can care less if you have been doing this for 100 years... I am asking for people who HAVE drilled or dimpled their mounts. You have not... that is why you are giving your opinion regard how well YOU think it will work. You are not helping


I am not asking for ANYONE to agree with me, if you disagree... don't post. Very simple.

have you checked your exhaust? mine would mack the buzzing sound your saying at certian speeds and it anoyed the hell out of me, but it was just needing some tlc along my exhaust
