Solid Metal Motor mounts Options

[Davesceli]

I was changing out my front and rear motor mounts today and while i was looking at the old mounts i started thinking about making a solid metal mount to go where the rubber insert is. I was thinking to find a solid piece of metal cylinder and cutting it to fit inside and welding that in. Then drilling out the center to weld the inner part. Im thinking this should help alot with shifting and throttle response.

I've seen my buddies do it on their civics with no problems so it should work for ours. BTW im only planning on doin the rear mount, maybe the front too depending on the amount of work it takes.

I think having a slight bit of play in them is actually a good thing. And if you are indeed going to do it, i wouldnt just do the rear. That puts all the stress and movement on the front. Dangerous combo and would hurt response.
