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.

ok... after 3 days and about 13 hours of work, I still don't have this simple 1-2 hour job done! I absolutely cannot figure out how the rear mount and crossmember go back in! I've tried:

putting the crossmember in and trying to wedge the mount on top
putting the mount in and trying to wedge the crossmember in underneath
putting the mount onto the crossmember and try to put them in together from the front, back, and sides
jacking the tranny a lot, and jacking the tranny very little

can anyone tell me EXACTLY what they did to get this in? if I can't get this in within the next couple of days, I may have to tow the car to a mechanic and get severly overcharged for it. HELP!!!
