i've only found them for d to b swaps. i did my motor mounts with the window weld and it's just not the results i was hoping for. i sold my turbo and manifold and plan on pushing my stock engine to it's limits and just want to have every little thing worked out. in a couple weeks i'll be putting in energy suspension bushings all teh way around and hopefully some solid motor mounts, the next step is going to be a nice beefy clutch and lsd, and hopefully by february, an equal length mani and an sc34. just want to do everything right this time and not cut any corners, and motor mounts play a pretty big role in traction :P

you want solid motor mounts? just weld yours in, but be ready to loose some teeth from the vibration

What kind of results are you looking for? I did the window weld thing and I hated it (just the lower mounts). I got the ES inserts (lower and rear) and I like it much better. My tractions still kind of sucks, but it's spinning, not hopping. I'm hoping to get some drag radials this winter and see what happens next spring.

Maybe something like a traction bar might be in line? ???

i might do the inserts, but i think the actual mounts would be better. the window weld worked pretty good, but i still get some wheel hop at that track, not really on the street though :-\

Was he talking metal-to-metal welding (no rubber) or window weld... ha ha ;D

Anyway, what do you need to do to stop or control wheel hop? Inserts help keep the motor from moving around, which I thought was good to help equalize and stabilize the engine's weight/pressure on the front wheels, minimizing wheel hop.

If you're hopping, your tires "should" be getting some traction, otherwise, they would spin. So now it goes to how to keep the wheels on the ground? The only thing I can suggest is a stiffer suspension. Front to keep the wheels down and rear to minimize the backwards motion that could take weight off the front tires...

I don't know. Food for thought or I'm full of ----. :D

Re:motor mounts??
 
main things to eliminate wheel hop are motor mounts and suspension, traction bars if you have the coin. i have a good shocks and springs, just need to replace my bushings and get some mounts. 600 bucks from hasport, fuk dat, looks like i'm going with the insterts :P

i don't think those are factory replacments for a 00 si that already has a b series though

I thought Summit's traction bars were $280+something... ???

Someone else was talking about those Jimfab things too a couple of days ago, but I don't know what the $ is. I've never seen them installed, but I'm curious to know if/how they work.

Re:motor mounts??
 
eh, ---- it, i just got the inserts, they should be good enough, i have two torque mounts alos that i filled really good with window weld, the actual mouns i didn't do such a good job, so with their powers combine, i should be stiff ;D

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=7929472404

40 bucks verses 650, i figured i'd try these first :P
