Motor mount inserts
 

Are they worth the 35 bucks to have those "stiffer" insernt put into my stock crx si motor mounts? same thing with a short shifter and bushing for it....will it improve the shift feel alot?

I put those poly mount inserts in and it takes getting used to. It makes the car very buzzy and you can here all the rattles. Not to mention starting from a stop is a bit nerve racking if you are used to your plush launches. I took mine out before I installed my turbo but may get another set.

i've heard horror stories of those cheap-o short shifters where they break in half, lol

theres a dude on honda-tech that sells inserts for dirt cheap
i'm picking up motor inserts, shifter bushing kit, and rear saw bar kit bushings all for $40

just search for motor mount inserts at honda-tech

I hate short shifters. I owned one of those cheap ones back in the day put it in it after I did my first sohc vtec swap and I started missing grinding gears. Some people like them but I destroyed a good si trans in 3 months it usually takes me atleast 9 months to get 3rd to grind with my stock shifter ;)

3M Window Weld

15 bucks for a constant back massage

Re:Motor mount inserts
 

I'll check out that window weld for you, I have some mounts I'm going to do up and then sell on here, keep an eye out for those.

i used some polyeurethane tubes from osh hardware for about $3-5. one of the best upgrades imo. engine is solid, no more wheel hop. i did all 5 mounts and no shaking like some people say. stealthmode used the same and he will testify it's benefit.

Re:Motor mount inserts
 

how hard is it to remove the mounts? any of them particulalry har dto get at?

Re:Motor mount inserts
 

I didn't use any inserts, just the window weld. It doesn't seeem to shake like everyone says. :-\
I'll be parting my car out soon which will include those mounts and a b&m short shifter with bushings. ;)

i used some energy suspension inserts and the back ones didn't work. i had to cut the mount all up to get them in. now the back mount sqeaks alot? next time i put a motor in im just gonna fill them with window weld.

Re:Motor mount inserts
 

Yea when i replaced my Civics motor, i decided i might as well put in these motor mounts from energy suspension.

It made the car noise prone a lot! @ idle you can hear little squeaks in the plastic, and stuff, but the only good thing was the My driverside lower mount broke, and i put the insert on it, and it made it feel new!!! the lower mounts are really weak!

If its a daily driver dont put them in, if not then go for it if you want?

review on es inserts vs diy urethane filler. http://www.g2ic.com/forums/showthread.php?t=31035
basically inserts were too harsh for me.

Re:Motor mount inserts
 

i'll use the es bushings for the hell of it, there cheap anyways and then use window weld on the rest

People told me not to get a 6 puck clutch for the street, and i'm doing just fine right now so mounts don't scare me one bit ;D

Re:Motor mount inserts
 

you want scary, i have a cm stage 5 unsprung 4puck. not bad really, just lots of chatter unless you feather it.

Re:Motor mount inserts
 

there is a HMT thread around here someplace that illustrated all about the DIY motor mounts.. I think it was in FI - I'll try and search for it.
