Hey all you ssei guys and gals. im having problems with the front motor mount/trans mount up front. i can not get a mount to hold it down. the engine torque seems to be to much for the mount now. all i have done is do some X moods. ever since than i have been having probems with this mount only. can somebody please help me with this problem. i now have a chain wrapped around the mount to the engine cradle. it help a lot but it still torques up alot. i worried that i will break the mount angian and the cradle. please help everyone. if you know were to get a neopreme mount let me know any questions just ask and i will get in to detail more.

is this a stock motor???? have you broken mounts??? sounds like you may have another problem causing this... maybe a bad tranny mount causing too much strain on the front mount???

Also curious to hear your mods, you do know that the mount isn't solid and the motor is supposed to rock in it. Mine rocks a fair amount. There are couple guys in the club who have made their own solid mounts.

The front mount is gel filled and designd to give qiute a bit. The torque from our engines is enormous and if you use a solid mount you may not like the way the car feels under hard acceleration.

That'* in gear, brake on, rev to 3,000 rpm'*. With no broken mounts. Your mounts are similar and in generally the same places as mine.
