The group buy will still be up on Friday. It just may hit a second round.

As far as the warranty goes its based on manufacturing defective workmanship deal.

In other words if you have a problem and its within a short period of the purchase, say within the first month after purchase? It will be warrantied.



If you do not experience any kind of failure immediately then you should not experience a failure at all. Unless you do not follow suggestions.

Suggestions are...
Do use a heat shield especially on a turbo application. Do not use a impact/air ratchet or torque wrench on the lock nuts.

Excessive Heat will affect Polyurethane. Its the nature of the beast, hence the heat shield recommendation.



Though I would also recommend using the factory heat shield on the exhaust side pretty much all the time.

Oh and for anyone who asks, making heat shields for the numbers that are made and sold is cost prohibitive for me.
It would drive the price of the mounts up significantly.



With that said there are many sets of 70 durometer yellow ones running around on cars as I speak that have been in use for years.

i HAVE to use a torque gun? Can i just use a torque wrench and a breakerbar/pipe? I don't have access to these things... fml

as well as, how can i make a heat shield - there doesn't look to be one on mine currently

No Do not use a Impact gun air ratchet or torque wrench! The mounts come with lock nuts that tighten down nice and tight with an ordinary wrench or ratchet.

I was stating that not using a heat shield and using a Impact or air ratchet are what you should not do.

Search around you should be able to find someone or car in the junk yard with the factory heatshield.

Oh and I have received a third payment so we are moving right along now.

[LaSuperSlow]

thanks for the reply. warranty seems good, and ill be waiting for the second round. since you dont make transmission mounts which one would you recommend to use with these mounts? i was thinking of using the peak performance one(the red one since its not as hard) since the 240 will one day be my daily drive once i fix all the suspension stuff.

that sounds like a good one. as far as the second round goes consider yourself in on it. As the way its going it will probably wind up filling up by the end of this week.

ok guys here is the deal on the trans mounts. To make them is a little more complicated, as we would design them to have the exhaust mount hanger studs.
Anyways These would be $80 each if we are to manufacturer and sell them. I know its not cheap in comparison to existing trans mounts out there. The difference is ours would be the Green 80 durometer urethane and would have the bracket hanger studs for your exhaust.

The only other trans mount out there that has that is the Nismo and these would be a definitive step up from those.

So if ten of you want to commit, I can do it. Expect a 3-4 week lead time on the initial run due to setup and whatnot.

Oh and all mounts that have been purchased so far have been shipped.

you sir, are a boss. i HATE how all the other aftermarket mounts dont incorporate this feature.

[s14j]

BEST mounts in the WORLD!!

i have the green set i picked up from him when i was rebuilding my ka.
amazing non the less.

whats with the hate on the color? there motor mounts! what u want him to make them pink and sprinkle glitter on them?
come on now.

my bros sr has nismo mounts they feel like my stock ones. (crap)

from oem to this mounts you will feel a drastic change no joke.
no rattles in my dash no crazy vibration from the motor nothing.

easy to install, put them in used a regular ratchet thats it.
the lock nut is similar to what skateboards use.

SIMPLY to sum it up it was worth the money, every penny. there just great!

thanks Dave for a absolutely amazing product

[DreamN]

^ As a matter of fact, I do want pink glittery mounts. What's wrong with that?


Dave, thanks again. I'll have updates once the car is on the road again.

[drift freaq]

Okay,I am not trying to beat a dead horse but I am really interested and the fact that they lower my engine seems sketchy.
DF can you shed some light on this please.

I will state what I have stated before. Due to the offset studs and the mounts being circular it allows you to shift the position of the stud in the engine bracket which can lower the engine 1/2-1 inch lower than Nismo mounts. This can also be achieved by setting one centered stud up and one down. The maximum lowest position is achieved by putting the centered studs up on each with the offset stud rotated to the outside. This is how its achieved. Nothing sketchy about it at all.

I have said this before as well but I will say it again. At the lowest position your oil pan does not sit below your crossmember. This has been documented in the review thread.

Ok people I have 3 sets of the current batch left. Because of this I am going to do a mini special deal.

Buy them now at $115 a set first come first serve. $15 for the shipping of course. So that is $130 shipped. Once they are sold then we will set up a New round for the group buy and do 10 people for $110. Deal.

[Irresistible]

I will be buying a set of these, and some transmission mounts this summer. This shit looks legit.

[Lees_Garage]
