Solid Motor Mounts - Page 3 - Toyota Yaris Forums

^^^ Good idea.

HTM Yaris · 05-11-2009, 08:40 PM

Trust me when I say this , you will NOT like the solid motor mounts . Unless you plan on wearing thick gloves . Even then you will feel it . Your BODY will become the vibration damper . I bet you won't last 2 weeks . I lasted 2 days .
Not only that , but it willl more than likely break your power steering lines . SERIOUSLY .
Trust me I already made that mistake

jkuchta · 05-11-2009, 11:26 PM

We don't have power steering lines.

HTM Yaris · 05-11-2009, 11:44 PM

Hmm , that is right . No power steering lines . I put solid mounts in my Eclipse and they broke the power steering lines thats what made me think of that . My meds are still working very well evidently

ChinoCharles · 05-12-2009, 01:02 AM

^ LOL rock. We will see how the torque damper goes.

I've been playing with this thing for a few months...

Garm has even tried to lend a hand. Unfortunately not much progress has been made thus far.

We'll see what happens this summer...

[1] Does anyone have some Yaris motor mounts sitting around that I can borrow? I know it is a long shot. I'm just trying to avoid "borrowing" some from the dealership, ieL buying and returning.

[2] Would anyone be interested in buying some? For anyone who plans on running some serious power, these would help you get it to the ground. If there is interest I can have more sets made. If not no biggy.

They're being built by Beech Performance who also did my exhaust. They also built this: http://www.forced4s.com/forums/viewt...&t=402&start=0 Very capable shop that loves their Toyotas.

There is a product that is called quicksteel. You can use it to make completely solid motor mounts. Cost about 8 bucks at kragens. You may need 2 tubes.

schleppy · 05-12-2009, 09:13 AM

I'm thinking about trying to make quicksteel mounts myself. I've heard they are similar in stiffness to the higher durometer poly mounts.

On my old GTi I repaced the front rubber mount with a poly one and it was wonderful. The motor felt like it was part of the car again. Shifting was improved, throttle response, etc. I hope someone comes out with something similar. Solid (metal) mounts are too much though...

d1nzfe · 05-12-2009, 11:41 AM

any pic of it installed???

Shroomster · 05-12-2009, 12:18 PM

htm brought up a good point....if you increase durability in one thing everything else is still at that lower level.....ie. fluid lines. wiring. etc.

fuji · 05-12-2009, 12:38 PM

How about a medium density polyurethane? Any one know where you could get something like this?.......For those of us who want o keep their teeth!

The person who posted that also said to help a little bit with the vibration, you should drill several small holes through the entire mount, to give it some "give" room. It is a great idea, especially considering we only have two main mounts. One on the upper passenger side, and one at the tranny. I deffinately don't recommend solid mounts, but the black goop stuff with some holes in it may be a perfect solution. AND, if you start off with 3 or 4 holes, and it's still too solid, just drill one or two more at time until it feels right. Easy enough for me.

what ever happened with this?

fuji · 06-25-2009, 07:08 PM

Nobody else has tried this? I wounder how hard it is to remove the motor mount.

Nexus1155 · 06-25-2009, 07:15 PM
