Casey_L Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 (edited) I was unhappy with the current selection of heavy duty motor mounts on the market today, so I decided to build my own. The design uses a factory energy suspension polyurethane bushing inside a failsafe housing. The motor mount is designed for track vehicles and is not legal for road use. http://lh4.ggpht.com/_VUaI7bsfmok/SoYyhC5pDlI/AAAAAAAABps/MKL16hgG5vc/s512/untitled.jpg The mount has been tested thoroughly this summer on a balance shaft eliminated car without a fully balanced rotating assembly. Due to the polyurethane bushings, there is a considerable amount of resonance transmitted into the uni-body. I have daily driven on this setup. I would recommend this part to the serious enthusiast that would like to eliminate wheel hop and engine movement. http://lh3.ggpht.com/_VUaI7bsfmok/SoY3bvFmeHI/AAAAAAAABp0/ghxeafQ60L4/s720/3821663173_17ab1d9ccb_b.jpg *Prototype Pictured For the group buy, the mount will come powder coated black and will come with all necessary hardware and the Energy Suspension bushing. The pricing starts at $230 Shipped with a minimum of 10 orders. The final dates of this group buy will change depending on the interest.

strang3majik Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 How is a motor mount not street legal? DOT didn't approve it, in other words. Neither are any aftermarket muffler, but, does anyone care? No. Is this basically a solid mount, I'm guessing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey_L Posted August 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 (edited) Just like any other part we buy for our cars on this forum, it is not DOT approved. Yes it is more or less a solid mount. I am working on using a different urethane bushing that should absorb the engine vibrations better. That mount will be more targeted to someone that daily drives their starquest. Edited August 15, 2009 by Casey_L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jszucs Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Nice work smart design. I love that it's rebuildable with common parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coke Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 I'm thinking due to the amount of rust on my car, these mounts would likely shake all of the flakes off the car....and make it rust free? LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lummy Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 If the price was a fair degree cheaper, I'd be interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coke Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 I'm still interested, if this ever goes through. But I'd like to see it a bit cheaper, maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conquezzy Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 Well if it won't break at the welds and maybe it was a tad thicker material then the price is right on. Think Cusco sells their mounts for subies at 250 bux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey_L Posted April 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Hey Everyone, I justed wanted to let everyone know that this GP is not dead, I just want to wait until I have a GOOD reliable daily driven proven product before I start production. The first generation was far too stiff. I am experimenting with using a 70 durometer or so rubber that is molded into the mount itself. I will be taking everyone considerations into the final design. I believe I should be able to bring the price down for you guys. Stay Tuned! Post up if you are interested and I will make sure you have information about the final product.
