Now these are gonna vibrate the fillings loose...




But I'm gonna enjoy every minuet!

Thanks to JimFab.com for fast and professional service

 

fillings....how bout them nutz that are already loose in that head of jooRz Rob

J/K of course...noice looking mounts , you sure will feel it all now

 

NICE... I need a set of 'em!!

 

I took a peak at the current mounts in the car and they are in all very bad shape. ya know how they have rubber things in the mounts? well mine are missing
When I get a chance after I get them out I'll snap a pic

I needed these last year... really.

 

How much did those cost you? I'm looking forward to your full review.

 

nice

 

If I'm not mistaken... I think JimFab.com has them on sale for $110 but I could be wrong. Email him, I was surprised how helpful he was and patient too

 

When are we putting them in?

 

I can't explain how many times I almost bought JimFab mounts. I have a couple of friends quite pleased with them.

 

VVVVViiiibbbrrrraaaattttioooonnn.....

How many of your original mounts are in bad shape?

 

Rob: List the part numbers. I want to order these.

 

<FONT SIZE="3">HA!</FONT> Your too late

I just finished putting the two front ones in 30 mins ago

Here is a small review...

Without the caR started the motor has 90% less motion then before. Starting the caR was quite surprising. The caR before, shook, started and then ran, now it just started. Once running I could feel the steering wheel has 75% more vibration in it and the rest of the caR has a humm to it but nothing bad, kinda like a deep exhaust vibration from an 8 Cyl. As I put the clutch in and give it gas to pull out of my garage I instantly notice the clutch is working faster due to the lack of motor movement (Whoo Whoo!). As I shift to second the car just feels like it wants to go and it definitely reacts much quicker to throttle input. Now I'm cruising around my area taking it easy cause the BCIII is not a quiet one to be rompimg late at night but the caR has a much more solid feel and I think it should have been like this from the factory!
Oh.. I stopped in front of my friend's house to see if he was home and He came out real quick to tell me to shut the car off... I wonder why and ask, He said the caR was vibrating his windows on the house

Tomorrow I'm going to my long time friend in SI who works in a auto repair shop and I'll see if he can hook me up with installing the rear mount. Team lazy

I have a few questions...

The ES inserts, are they a PIA to install in the top two mounts? Also Is there a way to check to see before I buy the ES inserts if the top two mounts are broken or in bad shape?
and would it be worth it to install them with the JimFab mounts if the stocks are in ok condition?

I hope tomorrow I'll have a review of the rear mount. But for now, Don't run out and buy these until I get back with another report... I might have a different view once the third is in.

I have been getting a few questions about these thru IM, Just post up your comments and questions on the thread and I'll gladly post my reply.

No, it's one of the easiest things you can do to the car. I'm sure even "Team Lazy" could knock it out in less than 20 minutes.

 

Thanks!

 

Nice looking mounts. They look REALLY beefy.

 

Wow, it makes me wish I got those instead of ES inserts for the 2 lower front mounts. Looks awesome, looks like they'll perform as well as they are pretty also

I don't think ES makes an insert for the top two. Prothane does.

ES just has the rear/tranny and lower front two, pictured here:

Prothane left and right uppers for sale here:

If the goo is still in the top two, I think they're OK? *shrug* I'm not sure what a proper diagnostic is unless you can see a tear in it.

Good luck with the rear mount. Once you get those three in, the top two will probably be useless

Hrmmm... scratches head.

My ES mounts vibrate my *** to 3/8ths time. How's that for a minuet?

THIS IS CORRECT. ES only makes inserts for the two lowers and rear. Prothane makes the inserts for the uppers and rear. Since you have jimfab lowers and rears, simply use the prothane uppers - you can choose between race and street as it comes with both inserts (you'll see what I'm talking about when you install).

Tranny side can be done on your own. Driver's side you will have to cut out the sleeve thingy inside and the goo will get all over you. Take it to a buddy/ machine shop with a press.

Prothane... $66.00 I can't afford those right now.

But I did get the rear mount is today

 

Now that I have all three JimFab mounts in the caR is like driving a new caR
OK, all that I had said before is greatly increased! and Yes the rear view mirror is useless at low speeds, the sob vibrates so much it is useless. But that is what side mirrors are for. Now when I start the caR it jumps to life, Snap and it's running. As for giving it gas the caR even responds better then just the two. EVERYTHING about the motor like throttle input to down shifting is so <u>much</u> better.

I can't believe I did not do these before, If you don't mind some change rattling around or the soda in the cup holder going flat then these are for you.
But if you ever had a complaint about the ITR being noisy or uncomfortable then Do Not install these. these are for people who drive the caR and not for the stunna who cruises at 8mph

Now for those who are looking to buy these Go to JimFab.com and order your set, For the amount that these cost I honestly can't see why anyone would take the time to put Inserts in. The front two are easy and the rear, well we all know the rear mount is a royal PIA. But when You can give a friend a few $$ that has a lift and air tools it makes it all easier

If you would like to see some pics, give me some time and I'll get them up.
