polyurethane motor mount INSERTS!, new product coming soon for all GT or swap owners Options

[lagos]

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.

so, what's the deal with the three RG550's? are you running different pickups in all them or anything, or just wanted to get three different colors, or what?

They all have differnt pickup configurations. One has a rosewood fingerboard and the other two maple. One of the maples has a custom headstock where I chopped it and made it shorter with did 4 tuners on one side and 2 on the other. but yeah, they are all different colors as well.

I never really realized the A/T and the M/T inners were different until recently (tranny swap for Hurley97)

I *may* have a spare M/T rear mount, I will check soon...

thats an oxymoron ..lol

i wonder why they are different. i mean, it looks like they bolt in the same spot, so why would toyota change the shape of the rubber?

I have no clue why they would do that Art, maybe less stress on them with an auto ????

I changed out Steff's rear mount to a filled one last week and something about her old mount looked funny to me (it was her old A/T mount I realized 10 minutes ago), it's in my trunk right now and it looks exactly like 95celGT's. I will edit my first post to reflect this development.

so there's an auto mount in my 3sgte celi!?

so there's an auto mount in my 3sgte celi!?

You put the rear insert in the front. Switch them out. The other insert should go in that mount and the piece you have in your hand should go in the front.

[95celgt]

nop, these dont fit in the front,.....or the back, so either way, niether of the 2 fit the rear, so i have to get the mount what looks like the one Batman posted:(

I can't get the 17mm bolt out of my front motor mount.... this is such a bitch, everything under my car is so rusty, I've broken most of the 10mm bolts holding the plastic on and one of the 12mm bolts holding the cross member on. I'm so pissed off right now. Now I'm giving up and trying to put everything back together, and i can't get my ****ing rear motor mount in place!!! ARRRGH!!

Did you soak everything down with P'Blaster (or whatever your favorite penetrating oil is) first? Also heat is your friend. Use a torch on the bolt.

I had my mount put in.. and best way to put it is that the car feels well connected or tight. A minor but noticeable vibration at idle and thats all.
