ever since i started to crack 13's in my fc, i've been constantly breaking my center differential mount. i've replaced it like 3 times and it's a pain in the *** anyone having this problem? if you guys are share wwith me your secrets pleez. let me know of any urethane mounts, or torqe braces or mods that can be done to solve this. thanks in advance.

 

If you are doing burnouts, that is your problem. It is the front differential mount. there isn't a center one. there are 2 rear ones however.

I broke my front diff. mount 1 month ago. no more burnouts, no more breaking. and yes, I break 13s.

=)

 

weld it! works for me!

 

Isn't this front diff mount the one many people replace w/ a piece of welded angle iron. I think thats what I've heard, but I'm still on stock turbo so no breakie for me yet...

 

damn Soul beat me to the post-like he would beat me in a race...except I didn't get to witness his cool car

 

Shane Racing makes a drag launch kit that replaces all the factory (read:crappy) mounts. Anyone ever had any experiences with it?

 

How much is that kit and what does it consist of Unique?
Mines broked too and i was just going to weld it... Of course im open to other options.

 

i would be intersted in that kit also what all comes in it?

 

I THINK THE PRICE OF THE KIT IS AROUND $400 OR SO. ANYWAY I FABED A FRONT DIFF MOUNT AND WELDED IT, AND ITS SOLID. NO MORE BREAKS!!!. HEY FLYINGOUFER I THINK I BOUGHT A 87 TURBO THEN A TURBO ECU, MY NAME IS SANTOS. ANYWAY PM ME AND I WILL GIVE THE INFO ON THE DIFF.

 

do you keep using stock mounts?? get a mazdacomp one. 40% stiffer. also learn how to launch correctly

 

The kit from http://www.srx7.com/sr86susp.html costs $455 and it's described like this:I haven't talked with anyone who has used it, though.

 

I was talking to a mechanic earlier this year who works on a TII for drag racing, and he told a similar story. Diff's were pooching way too soon. They discovered that there was a *little* bit of play where the diff mount meet the body of the car. So they fashioned a spacer to tighten it right up. The trick works - they haven't snapped a diff since. Hope that helps...

 

WOW! so many replies. guess i wasn't tha only one breakin my mount. i was breaking my mount when shifting into second. thats when this loud THUMP comes frum my car. (sounds like there's a big ogre under my car tryin to get into the cockpit ) sorry bout the laimens term on the "front" diff mount. in my eyes there are only three mounts, two on the side and one in the center. **** the SR luanch kit. i in team "LBR"(Low Budget Racing" I think i'm gonna weld it. hey santos check your pm and e-mail. maybe you can hook me up w/ a iron thiny you made. i can see your car is running good now 13.5!!!!!!! whoo hoo! we sould go race. i'm pullin the exact same time.
buy the way all, thanks for the help. you guys are cool

 

I've broken my metal braket mount 3 times. Next time i'm going to weld it with more metal reenforment.
