Snapped a motor mount...

    Something finally gave. Apparently the motor mounts couldn't take the stress from the 3 puck clutch and one snapped in half. Its sitting way too high now, the metal piece that is supposed to keep it from poping off has poped to the wrong side so my engine is sitting too high on the right side now. I can fit 4 fingers where there used to be rubber...

    Sooo..... Which motor mounts should I get? I want to get something that will withstand agressive launches but won't make my car vibrate like my 240 does with nearly solid engine mounts.

    I found these:

    Theyre not completely aluminum, they have poly bushings in the aluminum block so they might work but i'm unsure...

    Input would be great.

    Anyone know how bad the cusco mounts are for vibration compared to the groupn mounts?

    I have the Group N Pitch and Tranny. The Pitch is basically same as stock and not really needed. I heard from people with the Cusco its too much and almost unbearable. Let me know what u get. ;)

    Well I ordered the cusco's. If theyre too much I'll just sell em and try something else. If it's half as bad as my 240 I'll be fine. I have nearly solid motor mounts and aluminum tranny mount in it and it feels like a race car. Its a great feeling but not perfect for a daily. I personally wouldn't mind it and would get used to it but I'd like to keep one of my cars more comfortable for people who can't deal with that and for road trips and such...

    Any suggestions and input is still welcome, I simply had to get something in route so I can get the car up and running again so i can toast the tires on the 240 :-D.
     
  10. Flip Ive heard the Cusco mounts on a stock STI (05) and it sounded great to me. But Im hard of hearing already and I think the Invidia G200 is quiet. LOL

    Great :). Makes me feel a little better. I dont' think It will bother me since my car is so loud already...

    For sure! 240atl is great! Thanks :). Almost at 300 members! You should try to make it out to one of our meets.
