Broke something... Pics up.
 

Been wondering why my damn motor is torquing so much. I can visibly see the motor going up 2 or 3 inches when I drive because my WG sticks out of my hood a bit through a hole I cut out. Ive got energy inserts in too.

Noticed today that the passenger (trans) side mount bracket thats welded to the frame came apart from the frame. And some of the frame with it.

Fluxcored madness come monday. Gonna drop the motor, bang the bracket back onto the frame and weld the birdshit out of it.

Wish me luck. Pics will be up Monday.

Turbo D FTW.

Here are the pics. They are shitty as hell and make it look terrible, but it doesnt look so bad in person.
Wanted to get pics up of before and after but my camera battery was dead. Once I was done my pal lended me a battery lol.

Post pics so we can get a better idea. Your car is sick no wonder your ripping off motor mounts! :o :o

Re: Broke something...
 

Damn Joe it seems you have been having some fun >:D

Re: Broke something...
 

Yea been doing a lot of launching on the street tires for fun, leaving strips. That type of ----.

Dont know if im mad about this. Its almost kinda funny.

Pics up as soon as I get the motor out monday for some clear shots.

Isn't one of the main causes of blown trannies wheel hop? Suspension setup?

Re: Broke something...
 

Well the trans is fine. Its the bracket thats welded to the frame that ripped off.

BTW I dont have any wheel hop unless its raining.

Traction bars, GC Coilovers and alignment done by me.

sucks to hear about the mount joe.... that car is a ripper!!!!

Re: Broke something...
 

Im sure it wont keep me out of the game too long.

Track day is the 2nd. Just need to be ready by then.

Re: Broke something...
 

Maybe something like this can help? I didnt try it, I only remember seeing it on ebay long time ago...

Re: Broke something...
 

Yea Ive seen those. My pal has one on an RSX and it helps a bit.

I bolted a chain to my block and wrapped it around my cross member, with a long bolt and nut for tension. Gonna see how that works up after I weld the mount bracket.

Re: Broke something...
 

damn thats an intersting way of doing it lol pretty sweet

Re: Broke something...
 

Old schoolers did the chain trick a lot.

One of my coworkers has an 8 second chevelle, he threw the idea out to me a while back.

The only problem I can see on these picture is fatigue on weld cause by shear stress. This mount would be stronger with bolts since the torque change directions often when driving. If your weld crack a bit, it will crack all along. I can be wrong, but with the pictures I see that's what I'm thinking. I hope for you and your car that I am wrong lol ;D

Re: Broke something... Pics up.
 

I hope your wrong too !


As I pulled the car into the shop today I didnt realize how bad it really was.

I unbolted the mount and the bracket came with it. It totally seperated from the frame.
It was a fun experience reshaping it and welded it back.
I drilled out the factory spot welded and realigned them all with small bolts, then welded around the bracket. And finally removed the bolts and rewelded the spot welds.

I THINK it will do just fine.

Never underestimate the power of the Holset.

Say what?

I don't think you understand the difference between shear stress and fatigue failure.

I do thanks to my Mechanical Design class.

ps love the flux core. hope it holds.

I know what is the difference between shear stress and fatigue assholes. Fatigue is a repeated movement. Shear stress appear by the torque of the engine. So if it break it will be by the "fatigue cause by the frequently changes in direction of the shear stress".

So shut up.

Cant you say something intelligent on this forum? All you do is modifying quote. It must be fun in your head to do it all the time!

Re: Broke something... Pics up.
 

Can we get pics of your HID's? Or are you just a baller running 3 resistor boxes?

Re: Broke something... Pics up.
 

It's funny because your mom was just eating my blueberry waffles.

And by eating I mean sucking, and by blueberry waffles I mean my blue-berry condom wearing dick.

I didn't want to risk the herp.

Re: Broke something... Pics up.
 

I don't know why everybody is insulting mom of others. I just don't ------- care if my mom suck your waffles lol Should I be shocked of it? :-\ Anyway, I think we are a bit out topic. We should let D16Y8-Z6's thread alone :y

Re: Broke something... Pics up.
 

Ha. Pics of HIDs will be up tonight probably.

Ballin.

Re: Broke something... Pics up.
 

You tried to sound intelligent and failed so therefore we make fun of you. To answer your question, you shouldn't be shocked - she's a ------- slut :)

Re: Broke something... Pics up.
 

joe, being that ive been in a car that you've driven in anger, i'm not at all surprised that you did this. you engine bay looks great btw, way cleaner than what you're known for.

Re: Broke something... Pics up.
 

Yea the bay is being cleaned up bit by bit.

Next time I pull the motor im gonna repaint it and maybe a SLIGHT tuck.
