Well, I just talked with two of my friends. One droves Mazda 6 (and he was also semi professional race driver), the other one Clio Sport 182. They both tell me that it's just the matter of time before i broke engine mount again. To make things worse, they say that's completely normal on small forward wheel cars with strong(er) engines.
WTF? I don't want a car that can lose it's engine on a road-trip or something. Having that of my mind I wondered if this would help http://shop.microimageonline.com/pro...3&categoryId=2 What do you think? |

Talkin Factory stock motor - not tuner turbo NOS bullcrap. Its a strong engine - anything over 70hp/L is high performance. In the 70's our 2.3L and 2L only made about 75Hp and top speed was around 80MPH. If I did a couple drag strip drop clutch starts at 4500 rpm on my 1.5 I would snap a halfshaft after about 3 tries guaranteed. 90's VTEC Acura integra would be stronger yes, but 130 hp is still stout for a regular car. No such problems on my Suzuki Aerio SX drivetrain.
