I've only had my mounts melt when someone installed them without the oem motor mount heat shield, or a custom single turbo setup where the downpipe or wastegate runners were routed too close to the mount. Hit me up and I will get you a replacement.

I'm not trying to be argumentative but, after being on this forum for the better part of 14 years now and seeing lots of good and bad vendors, I'll elaborate on my comment.


First reason, There's nothing on their website that you can't find anywhere else or even on ebay - in some cases cheaper. Nothing special about them really other than they took the time to copy some rotary vendor's mounts and resell them. rx7.com has parts listed much cheaper than Himni and they've been around a good 20 years servicing, building and racing RX7s.

Second, IRP and Banzai have been on the forums providing FREE tech help to rotary enthusiasts for the better part of 15 years

Third, IRP, Banzai, Pettit, Rotary Performance have been developing custom parts that actually work for our cars. Anyone can hawk BRANDS. Very few vendors take the time to actually test what works and only sell what works and back that up with customer service and great pricing.

Fourth, well, you have the post below about their **** service.

Basically trying to take all the blame off of me. Then they also started calling me a Liar in the Email, like I said I'll never do business with them again, and I advise everyone to keep clear from them.

If you want variety, there's 4 companies worth of 'variety' for you. Add on Mazdatrix, Pineapple Racing, A-spec and Racing Beat if you like. They've all been around for decades. If you want to shop Himni and ebay and such, go for it I guess. It's your money, spend it where you like. You can use the Good, Bad and Ugly sub forum here to complain about their poor service or poor parts when things don't work out as advertised. I've just seen too many companies selling inappropriate parts, providing bad info etc over the years that I'm not willing to do so with my hard earned money.

And companies like FFE and turblown that do lots of research and development and offer great customer service.
