Re:prothane motor mounts inserts, anyone usin them?
 

It's the wheel hop with a front engine/RWD car, it's the loss in torque cause the regular mounts will bind up when you hit the gas hard. Steel mounts are nice cause the weight transfer is directed right into the frame, so if you had a big enough motor and a shitty enough car, the frame will twist (I've seen this happen with mustangs). Subframe connectors need to be in place before installing a high torque monster motor. I'm thinking about just going with the solid mounts cause I know they won't budge or lose any precious torque. The mounts I pulled out of the K5 were ------- toast.. then again the entire frame is twisted on that thing from someone hitting something really bad underneath (it also pulled the transmission cross member clean off and fucked up all the drivetrain after that).

what if i were to put the inserts in the two front positions and leave the back mount alone, the vibrations should be less right?? ???

Re:prothane motor mounts inserts, anyone usin them?
 

Yes but you wouldn't really be helping the rocking problem fron to back. May be a waste of your time.

Re:prothane motor mounts inserts, anyone usin them?
 

I used 100% polyuerethane roof sealer from home depot. No inserts or anything. The vibration is nothing compared to what you guys are talking about. It's really not bad at all for me. ???

ok; if one were to have torn to ---- mounts on the side of the engine (the tranny and timing belt mounts) would getting some inserts and the poly fill stuff fix them?

or would i need to get new mounts???

one mount is torn where i dont want to use it and the other the inside is complely ripped out. all the rubber is still there though

Re:prothane motor mounts inserts, anyone usin them?
 

I used to hate my mount inserts, got them from nopi. But now I'm kinda used to them and they don't bother me. They do make everything rattle though.

my hatch is gutted and some of the sound damping material removed so i'm not too worried about that.

it'll just add to that race car function over form persona that makes me all wet :drool:

Re: prothane motor mounts inserts, anyone usin them?
 

if i dont want it to rattle, do i just get hasports instead?

Re:prothane motor mounts inserts, anyone usin them?
 

Filled mounts.
Same here, COmpletly guuted except for dash and door panels,(all rear plastic and sound deadening) Sure I rattle, but I don't care.
