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.

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?

^^ 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?

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

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
