New Mod, made a motor mount

Ever notice how our engines are only held in by 2 tiny mounts at the bootom? Obviously with the torque our engine s put out, it's really not enough. I'm in the process of taking care of this problem by addin a 3'd mount in the engine bay to keep the motor from twisting under heavy acceleration. My prelininary tests are going well. Unfortunatly this will only work for cars with no airpump, but I'm working on that, as well as looking into a hydrolic type strut to save space, which would make it possible to work in any FD.
Why I'm doing this? I put new mounts in my car a year ago... I changed my oil pan gasket on thursday, and while I was under there I seen that I broke one allready. Cheap *** crap!

Hmm, are you going to write a how-to? It looks much superios to the torque control arm.

Once I get a final design figured out and working 100% to my satisfaction, I'll post a how to along with materials needed. I'd like to go with a hydrolic type setup, but they are expensive, but less space consuming. If not I will keep the same mount but change the rubber bushings to polyurathane.
