I add parts here and there, $20 bucks, $200, $2,000, but my best mod was only $11.95......
Everyone knows of energy suspension motor mount inserts, which do help. I felt they stiffened up the front, but didn't stop alot of the wheel hope I suffered.
When I was rebuilding my motor I found my drivers side main motor mount was severaly torn, attributing to alot of engine movement. I found a new one online for $70+ bucks. I quickly looked for another option.
3m Window Weld. Best stuff evAr. I pulled the mount and filled that sucker full. I had forgotten about it until I finally got my car back on the road.....car doesn't hop, and firmly plants the tires so well they go up in smoke. 2nd gear hits tires smoke, 3rd lets out a loud yelp....this @ only 9psi......short shifting @ 6-7grand.
I took off my passenger side main tranny mount and filled it to the brim also. Takes a few days for it to fully cure and stiffen, b/c of the extra amount.
I bought one tube and it has went through 2 mounts so far, you could possibly squeeze 3 out.....
Regardless, this trick has been around, thought I would refresh everyone's memories....
Carry on....

You should take a look at the beast that ProFab Engineering makes. It was $50 and looks like it could withstand a nuclear blast.

Where did you exactly fill the mount in from? Is there a hole in it somewhere?
Also I am probably going to be doing the motormount inserts soon, is there a way to find out if my motor mounts are torn w/o taking out the motor visually? My car started having severe wheel hop after the shop took my tranny out to rebuild it.
Any tips are appreciated. I want to get rid of this annoying wheel hop since it has completely taken out the joy of me driving the car..

it's just like one guy who builds these things in his garage or something, but I have seen some of the most kick ass parts come from him. I have two lower mounts and a rear strut bar from him, they kick the crap out of any other aftermarket pieces. He is very well known for traction bars, although I don't believe he still produces them.
when you fill up the mounts, are you supposed to do it with the rubber it it still or are you still supposed to burn it out like you would for ES inserts?

Could someone please reply to my questions in the above thread?
"Where did you exactly fill the mount in from? Is there a hole in it somewhere?

So you did the actually engine mounts (Driver Side and Tranny), not the Torque mounts?
Are you also running bushing on the torque mounts?
I have a tranny mount and a driverside mount available, but I was thinking that this mod would be most effective at the torque mounts.
