engine mounts
ok so i was looking at super now bushings/engine mounts and they look like a piece of metal taht is all. am i a noob because i always thought you wanted some flex in your mounts to absorb the rocking. please give me your thoughts, anger, or what ever
I am running banzai racing poly motor mounts.
At first I ran the stock mounts, they were too soft. Then I tried hockey pucks, they did not fit right and were a little too rough. Finally I moved to Banzai Racing motor mounts. They are perfect. I would not run solid motor mounts. I think that it would be too stiff.
Some people say a combo works well. Ie one stock and one poly.

I'm actually in the process of making my own polyurethane mounts. After looking at the prices for the Banzai ones, stock ones, and every other place, I couldn't see spending that much money on them.
I bought a 3"X6" piece of 80A black Poly from McMaster car. I Cut it to my desired length, and put the resulting piece on a lathe. I turned it down, so that the poly, could fit into a 3" exhaust pipe. I cut exhaust piece about 1/2" shorter than the poly, and pressed the poly into the exhaust peice. Leaving about 1/4" of the poly on either end. Slap a large flat washer on top and bottom of the poly, drill a hole through the poly, and bolt it all together. Cheap mount for less than $50. Well, I actually paid nearly $60 for the poly, but I wanted to have extra in case I screwed it up.
This was not my idea. This is what Rob at Pineapple Racing told me to do. So, all credit goes to him.
I'll tell you guys how I like It once I finish my motor install.
