She's Alive!! (New Motor Mount)
 
Just thought I would Post a link of the torque link installed.. This is just a prototype for testing purposes. I will be writing a full analysis on the link in a few weeks after some long and HARD testing.

Looks like a nice piece...Have you driven it at all? If so how's the vibration?

MSFIT Apr 6, 2006 12:41 AM

Can I try one out??? lol

Maximusmini Apr 6, 2006 01:41 AM

LOL, vibration is nice n smooth.. a lot better than I expected, Sorry Misfit, Only two are allowed to try them out and both spots are filled.

From the pictures, it looks as though it replaces one of the motor mounts. What is the additional benefit vs. a powerflex engine mount? Just additional stiffness?

Maximusmini Apr 6, 2006 01:45 PM

^^ Good Question.. I'm twincharged, and I keep Breaking motor mounts.. and because I break motor mounts I break halfshafts.. This replacement was cheaper on my end, and I can gaufrantee that this one won't break. I know for a fact that other things will break. Also as you can see, the thickness of the material was CNC'd and not cast aluminum like the stock piece. Perhaps I should post a pic of the stock unit?

it appears the pictures are no longer working...

Maximusmini Apr 6, 2006 11:45 PM

Yeah, the link I'm hosting it through friends Orbitz account seems to be flaky lately

Can you post the pictures through the NAM gallery instead? You definitely have my interest, I wanna see the pictures! :nod:

Just taking a wild guess here, but they may have been removed intentionally...?
Looking at the url of the photos it might make sense. :wink:

Maximusmini Apr 7, 2006 05:33 PM

I'll upload the photo's to my photobucket and rehost them.. I posted this also on the michigan site and the same thing has been happening

Seeing so many "engine mount stabilizer little piston thingees" at AMVIV made me interested. So please get those photos up. I'll buy one (that I think is well made)
PS I thought that the one on Tuls TC car was pretty impressive...
cheers, phil
