anyone heard anything about that new motor mount?
supposedly solid or rigid mount, i'd prefer a poly bushing myself.
every time i come off a stop and give a little gas i'd swear i can feel the engine shiftin around in there...it's horrible, like it's on a big rod end or something...like the thing isnt even there, just sittin on a pin or rod. |

The motor mounts for our car are extremely soft. Also there is no front motor mount. So there is a bit of movement on quick takeoff or high redline shift. You could get a TRD mount from garm. Or a nitto torque dampner. Honestly if you plan to keep the car for a really long time its better to just step up and get the TRD mount.
Altenatively you could try filling your mounts with window weld a type of liquid poly. But be prepared to have a bit of vibration at idle. I have tried the nitto torque dampner which does help a bit but it still dosnt give me the dampening that i want. I probally will end up getting a trd mount. Or atleast try filling them first if i dont like how they feel well heck ill be getting the trd mount anyways.

i'm seriously thinkin bout goin old school n settin up some freakin chains in there. this is really annoying.
i'm surprised that noone's come out with it. energy suspension is really good...maybe we can all get together n send a crapload of emails to them. i just contacted prothane on their site, i'm going to energy suspension next |

start with the trans mount, it stops most of the motion and is the cheapest. TRD motor mounts will cost you $550 new. I import all the parts, let me know if I can help.
You know how much power I'm pushing and the TRD mounts are working just fine.

i can't see spending more than about 100 per mount.
sorry, but if chevy can do it for 20 bux a pair, then toyota can do it for a little more. any way. i need rubber or poly, not 'fluid filled' joints. |

ya. i've had them on hondas, camaros, jeeps, trucks...and they work wonders. they're cheaper and better than factory, and in most cases are remove and replace units. not inserts, a whole unit is installed.
i'm not paying 500 for a motor mount. simple |
