Received Gotham Eurothane Motor Mounts today
 
How much weaker are the aluminum 93's compared to cast iron the 94's? Should I be worried that I got the aluminum core and no heat shield or just throw them on anyhow?

Has anyone actually had an aluminum one break on them? :D or :( ?

I think those solid mounts would be crazy stiff! But then again, if they made my car vibrate like a Harley, chicks would dig it! ....shwing! :smoker:

Hmmm, are those official Mighty Ducks motor mount pucks? :scratch:

Holy crap! What kind of hp are you running? Did you have a torque brace?

When you run solid motor mounts, there's no need for a torque brace. Besides, Bridgeport = more torque at the top end.

Is Eurothane just Urethane with clear corners?

Eh? :scratch:

If i'm not mistaken, I beleive it's the stuff they make rollerblade wheels from.

i don't have a torque brace, no need for it...and i have a short throw, so no shifting issues

i haven't dyno'd yet, haven't driven the car because of the broken motor mount, am going to fix next weekend

i did a clutch dump in 2nd gear from a 15mph roll, i guess it couldn't take it

it was a joke because "Euro" editions of cars have clear corner markers, and he spelled "urethane" incorrectly (eurothane) :)

Well, you can ask Gotham for my drivers side cast iron core cause I allready had the 93's mounted (today) and so I won't be exchanging them.
