anyone used these any good?

 

[Dan]

Yes very good, doing me some work in 2 weeks time as well

 

[DaveDreads]

Wow never seen those before, they look heavy duty!

 

[Dan@SJM]

They're very harsh. Certainly not recommended for road use.

Yep he runs them on the Hillclimb car, they are super strong!

Awesome piece of kit!

I have been looking at getting some of these too as my current standard engine mounts need replacing, just worried how 'harsh' they would be? My 172 is a weekend toy/ track car, but I still do quite a few road miles 'Ring trips etc in it.

Do you have fillings?

Do you have fillings?

None yet I thought as much though, shame they look great!

Looks like I'll be better off with some Vibra- Technics engine mounts then.

what do you mean by harsh ,gear change, vibrations ect. just need it to be drivable to trackdays its not my daily driver,
they just seem a much better design vs. o.e setup

 

[Dan@SJM]

Vibrations.

 

[bozothenutter]

probably stiffer than vibratechnics....they are after all competition parts.

I personally think more strain is going on vital parts elsewhere, you need some flex. But that's just my take on it tho.
Are these mounts made for cars that are rebuild every race/few races?

I am aware of plenty of anecdotal evidence that suggest that gearbox failures etc are accelerated by an engine not being able to move, although on the other hand things like exhausts cracking will probably happen less with less movement, so its a bit of a mixed bag.

Certainly look really cool though

 

[Andyrg@ ClioTurbo]

I'm selling a set for a 182 if any one wants a set they have done around 150 miles and them we fitted a vag box to the car so decided to sell this as a kit

 

[Kelv]

I'm also running these mounts, although I cannot comment on what they feel like in use... As yet.

Is the trophy not running ATM then Banana Man

 

[Kelv]

After a rough beginning/mid part of the year the trophy took a back seat but slowly coming back together again, it's been a long time coming

Banana man is helping to project manage the cause

Quite the opposite from running competition clios for some time. Having the engine and box solid/ridgidly mounted limits the time the gearbox doesnt quite select a gear cleanly in hard use and accelerates syncro wear and potential gear damage. This is backed up by increase lonegevity when i did this to both cars i have. Not great for the road but then again there not road parts.

Yes its very use dependant, the biggest place that solid mounts cause excess strain on the drive train is initial pull away, and obviously rally cars dont do a lot of that like say a drag car does or even a chav who loves giving it beans from the traffic lights, as once you boys are moving you dont stop again for the whole stage unless something goes wrong.

Rally cars do full bore start at the begining of each stage.....plus its changing from 1st to 2nd that get most hammer. Dont under estimate gearbox movement under breaking and comming down the gear. Overall solid mounts will incres gearbox longagevity especially on comp cars.

Glad to hear the trophy coming along again mate

So these mounts would be a nightmare on a car that goes to and from the 'Ring, or other long journeys?

Why not go for vibratechnics?
Stiffer than standard, and i use mine as a daily

 

[drapermids]

i do enjoy the pure motorsport website, its automotive p**n !!

I proabably will go for the vibratechnic engine mounts, I just really like the look of the PMS mounts.
