6G Celicas Forums

a while back, i contaced a guy that sells motor mount inserts on mr2oc, about making some for our 6th gens. i figured it would be a great upgrade for anyone who has a gt or a swap. i got the first set of inserts a few weeks ago and instaled them this past weekend. they fit great and a nice upgrade over the stock mounts. you notice a lot more throttle response, smoother clutch engagement, as well as shifting, and you feel more connected with the engine. it should also greatly reduce wheel hop and help with traction becuase the motor wont rock back and forth as much as it does with the stock mounts. the other cool thing is that they insert over your existing mounts, so if for some reason you ever want to take them out, you can.

here is a pic of them installed on my car.

REAR MOUNT

FRONT MOUNT


finally... here is a pic of the rear motor mount that i filled myself about 1yr ago. it worked well at first, but as you can see it didnt last long



last but not least, there is a really awesome Video review that an mr2 ower made about the mounts. i have to say that i pretty much agree with everything he said about them in the video. the install is a little bit different on our car then the mr2, but anyone with some basic tools can do the job. took me about 1-2hrs to do the whole thing.

I fully comprehend that, they also charge 3-4 times as much as an aftermarket dealer (like ARP if they carried them).



and this would be why I felt it was inappropriate yet asked anyway lol

dealer will charge you VERY little for the bolt, i got all 3 for under $7...

nuts and bolts don't cost very much from the toyota dealer. they most likely use the same part number bolt on a bunch of their cars, thus keeping the cost low. sure, $1-3 is a bit much for a single bolt, but is it really worth the hassle trying to find one $.50 cheaper?

im pickin up a set of these

Damn, this is exactly what I need for my car! The shifting is weird at 1st and 2nd gear, and the whole car is "wobbling" at those gears. It is also very hard to get a "smooth" shift.

Will these do the job?

you could have a bad motor mount, if so, I'd get a new motor mount(s) in combination with these, don't use them as a band-aid. you'll have to get under the car and look to see if any are bad to know for sure though.

Back from the dead indeed! Buy them! They are a pain to put in, I am not going to lie, but soooooooo much more worth it. Thought my clutch was slipping, installed them, feels like a new car again!


Sorry, thought this thread was dead.

Hey guys I have an ST model Celica and I'm replacing my old rear mount with a new one. but I had a bit trouble getting the old one out and haveing more trouble putting the new one in!
any advice on how to put the new one in?

THX!!

I don't know if this will actually solve my problem... i hear a thugging sound everytime I accelerate and decelerate and it only happens when I have driven for at least an hour straight. I don't hear it in the morning when I go to work and I don't hear it in the afternoon when I leave work. It only happens after an hour of driving or so. Can somebody please verify it the poly mounts would help me?

I will definitely grab these soon! new mounts goin in, why not?

did any body know what the outcome was with the inserts on an auto mount?

Hello,

Do you still make these motor mount inserts?

Thanks

Here's his site for ordering I'm sure he still makes them. Good product I love mines.

I have a stupid question. Simple stuff usually goes over my head. I'm swapping in a 3rd gen 3S-GTE with an MR2 non-LSD E153 and I'm going to buy ST205 mounts and brackets. I have to get the Celica GT inserts, correct?

the 3s and 5s have similar mounting places. since Lagos (OP) is 3s swapped im sure these will work

Yep, still have them.
