The Motor Mount Thread

[wankular]

I would add a sidenote about using red loctite for the CPE trans mount, in case anyone buys a used one without instructions. Avoid that whole fiasco again.

Any info on engine dampers (NRG, Ignalls, etc)?

As far as reviews, I have the original Street Unit RMM. After 1000 miles it was broken in and never really vibrated too much even from day one.

Edit: The TRZ MS3 rmm is available in two bushings - poly (street) and delrin (track). Also, if you run a Turbine Tech MS3 front mount, you probably won't be able to fit a FMIC.

I'd offer the exact same review about my SU RMM as well, adding only that it simply did it's job and improved shifting quite a bit by controlling engine movement.

+1 on what Ti said. Vibs are not noticable, but it controls the engine movement and improves shifting.

I don't recall any of that fiasco. Wasn't MS6 related so I didn't pay much attention to it. Shoot me a link to a good thread on it so I can catch up and mention it in the OP.

Also, I don't know anything about the engine dampers you speak of. I can haz infoes pleeze?

They have also started including a thin metal backing plate that will physically prevent the bolts from backing out. Between that and red Loctite those bolts aren't going anywhere!! If you don't have the plate I'll bet you can get one from them cheaply, if not free. Or go to a metal shop and get one fabbed up.


Reviews and thoughts on the MM's I've used.
TRZ RMM & TMM: I had these on my '08, put them both on at the same time so I can't speak directly on one or the other. TONS of noise & vibes. Seriously, I thought we'd F'd something up royally!! I got used to the vibes & noise, but never much liked it.

CorkSport RMM Inserts: Probably better than folks give them credit for being. Got light mod's and don't want noise & vibes? Get these, you can find 'em used for $20-30. I had them on my Stage 2 car for several weeks without any troubles.

JBR RMM Billet in 80 duro: Quite a bit of vibes, I didn't like it. The bolt that came with mine (it was a lightly used piece) was only a Grade 2 bolt and snapped before I got to the recommended 120#, spend an extra $4 and get a Grade 8 bolt. Mine also seemed to fit a bit loose and clunked when I went on/off throttle. I checked the bolts numerous times and they were all tight. *EDIT* See JBR response below. I did buy mine used and the bolt I got was definitely a Grade 2 bolt, seller may have done a switcharoo on me.

CP-e 60 TMM & 75 RMM: I had the TMM for one day before I got the RMM. VERY nice piece, vibes & noise non-existent. RMM I got was used and already broken in, again it's a super nice piece with little to no noise & vibes. Want top shelf quality and can deal with very slight (if any??) vibes & noise? Get these. If/When I swap the passenger side MM, I won't won't look at anything other than the CP-e piece! My ONLY complaint, there wasn't a sticker in the box to put on my toolbox!!

CP-e Stage 2 RMM: I had the Stage-1 75 duro mount in my car for a while, but still was getting some nasty wheel-hop. I found a new-open-box Stage 2 on another site that I got a good deal on. I've only made a couple of pulls but my wheel-hop seems gone now. The Stage-2 RMM does add some vibes & noise over the Stage-1 mount, but still less than I found on competitor's urethane based RMM's, I suspect they'll settle some with use.
