Engine (motor) mounts
I hear some of you guys over here use 2 ice hockey pucks per mount, is it just a case of drilling through the middle and countersinking the nuts?
Any body recomend these or have any problems?

wow. I wouldn't do that. Use poly motor mounts.

No reason you couldn't use pucks. At $1 each they are basically free and I bet they are a little softer than the 90A urethane rods used in the link above. (Whish is too hard IMHO.) I carved up some pucks to create the "washer" on the bottom side of my urethane mounts. Works just fine.

Yep, but no more than the rest of the urethane mounts that have emerged over the past few years. With the exception of the Noltec mounts and the stockers, I believe everything else uses a through-bolt.

Ok captain English. Now maybe say something constructive for the OP. You could quote your post in every post and every thread on this forum, if you wanted to.

No it's not Turbo'd
I've tried to explain this a couple of times, and the last time I drew a rough sketch in MSPaint... 
What you should do / I did, was to carve away the rubber on the mazda mounts, and have someone or yourself, but be careful, because liquid Polyurethane is very toxic (Fumes), create a metal / tin cup, around the two pieces, and then pour polyurethane into the cup so that it flows in between the pieces like the stockers, but instead of rubber, it's poly, and holds up better to heat... and because it's "floating" it provides a true suspension, while if you put a bolt through you're about 1/2 a step away from using solid mounts....

I share your frustration with posts consisting of paragraph long sentences with no punctuation. And we probably agree that if someone is seriously looking for help, they should take a little time and construct coherent sentences with spelling above the third-grade level. But actually, I think it would be "they're".

We're off-topic but to answer your question...it's a forum. But except those posting in a second language, it's about showing some courtesy. It's about not being lazy and making those your asking for help work that much harder just to understand what the hell your saying. It's about giving a ****.

geez, didnt think the FD phobonics class was going to start ...
to the OP, if you can afford it, I would stay with the stock mazda units, unless "your" hp goals "are" much higher than stock, but then you would probably be able to afford decent aftermarket units if you have already moded "your" car substantially.
Though hockey pucks would be a cool grassroots (albeit "gh3do") solution. If you do throw some pucks on, please show pics!
(sorry if I offended anyone, but as Sgtblue said, it is about giving a ****)

Using some forum etiquette does help get answers to your concerns.
that being sad, i dont think being a dick to show your disgust with the lack of punctuation is necessary. Ask the poster wtf he is trying to say in a polite manner or move on.

Possibly, because poring your own isn't easy, and you have a lot of prep time, and RX-7 Owners are cheap, as indicated by this thread...
