What is a solid motor mount, and when would u need one. I thought the only mount upgrade was just going to poly?

 

solid is exactly that. solid, its a chunk of metal basically, no give... no movement... your car will shake a lot, but it wont break like a rubber mount does and poly can to.... not very street friendly tho... i wouldnt reccomend it unless its a track car..

 

cool man thats what im putting together, thanks

 

dont do it...why dont you ask me these things....

 

lol........he's correct, actually they both are. Track duty only

 

i would but i hate bugging u and u got enough people blowing ur phone up

 

Run solid motor mounts, and don't look back. If you going to go in there to do them might at as well do it right the first time and not worry about going back in there again at a later time. Don't let this people try to fool you it's not even that back it's not for "race cars" only I daily drove my old 97 for 2 years with solid mounts and its not even that bad.

 

i like a little shake. makes me feel like i'm driving a race car.

 

im not too sure about solid motor mounts and it seems you have gotten a few responses but i do have a polyurethane tranny mount and honestly i can feel a little vibration at stops but once you get going its completely gone. i dont think i would honestly go back to rubber mounts once they are all worn out because they just odnt have the longevity that the solid/polyurethane ones do. the way i see it is, if youre gunna fix it, fix it for good. poly does go bad over time but thats gunna be quiet a long time. just my .02

 

I have the poly mounts and they allow very little engine movement, but enough to be smoother than solid.

hell the solids are cheaper $28 bucks, i think the polys are more but ill never drive this car on the street any ways so solids it is, thanks fellas!

 

I would run poly why do you think you need soild?

 

i got my poly for 30. so not much difference.

 

It will vibrate something awful and suck on the street. Track only, dont say we did not tell you so.

 

who all who reccomended solids actually have had solids? post up

 

Whats does it matter if i dont like them i threw away 30 bucks. Its not like im talking about $1500 or more. There what i want, i dont want to mess with the motor mounts.

 

At least not until they break the block

 

yea....or rip out of the frame or bolts come loose from vibrations and then the motor spins inside the engine bay

 

I run poly. I can feel my fillings getting looser and looser everyday. I can't imagine what a solid mount would feel like.

 

i was waiting on that response! but hey, if he wants to run solid and his mind is set, well hell DO IT. post pics when it breaks
