These are still the best mounts available hands down! As far as reliability goes, I have been working with Dave for a few years now and in that entire time I have only seen one or two mounts have issues. That's with both the old yellow and the new green, QC and warranty are not a problem. BUY THEM, they ROCK!

Agreed wholeheartedly. Mine have been in since June '10 and are still working perfectly

i have the V1 Yellows. I like how the motor still has a slight amount of movement...so it doesnt translate to the body of the car as much. Combined with Nismo trans mounts or Peak Perf. Street trans mounts, these would feel very similar to stock, but slightly stiffer. With a Peak Race trans mount vibrations are pretty noticeable when cold started but soon dissapear when warm (90% of this is from the trans mount fyi) . and you definitely notice when the car revs throughout the range with the race combo. I dont even have to look at my tach anymore lol.

I just got mines yesterday yellow ones, drove up from OC to meet up w/ him ,very cool guy and honest, i over paid him a $20 and i was about to hop in my car and bail out when he called me back. i'm gonna install them on my DD s13 coupe, probably this week. I will let you all know how this goes. Thanks again DF.

Just thermal wrap with the silver reflector and then wrap with safety wiring.... Kinda pricey wrap but keeps them nice.

drift freaq · 10-17-2011, 02:30 PM

Hey guys just thought I would let all of you know. I am now a Zilvia.net advertiser. Which means, though I still might do group buys I am officially on board with constant sales. I have product and its is available.

*revcyanide* · 10-17-2011, 03:31 PM

well lets try this again if 5 of you can actually list up and pay for the trans mount I will make it. But I am going to need at least 5 solid paid commitments to do it.

Sign me up for one. What might be the price point for it?

$85. I know it sounds high but if I am going to do it it will have the exhaust hanger bracket.

Oh nice.... do you think you can have one designed, fitted, and tested so we can see it actually on a car? That would be nice.

To make one I would have to do a run. I cannot make single one offs. I can only mock the jig. Trust me I have put a lot of thought into the design of it and not only would it come correct but fitment would be spot on.

You said you need 5? Sign me up for one.... so let me know when you need the money. I guess it has to be pretty head resistant because track temps and exhaust is pretty close.... Is there any special need to address it?

Sorry wrong thread.

PM sent regarding engine and trans mount combo!

nismoracingsx · 11-10-2011, 04:26 PM

great engine mounts. took almost all movement out of the equation.
combined it with a circuit sports trans. mount for a good combo.

*hOngsterr* · 11-12-2011, 11:58 AM

hey dave thanks for the mounts, but can you chime in on how to achieve different heights of the motor by the postion of the studs

I haven't got my mounts in yet.. But I will be running the peak performance sold trans mount.. Should be a good combo too

there are a couple of ways to do this. one is to run one centered stud and one down. then rotate the mounts. the lowest position achieved by put both centered studs up rotating the mounts till the offset stud is positioned at the top of the rotation.( Racepar1 actually favors that position in his car, for example)
Positioned at the bottom it will raise your engine and yes you can do this with one

so basically having the center studs up and rotating that achieves the raised motor? Just clarifying.

hey slider can you post pics of how you wrapped your mounts, even though its obvious how you explained it. people love pics lol

*slider2828* · 11-12-2011, 06:41 PM

There you go. Its just wrapped with safety wire.... you could probably use some really good zip tie too, but its going to get hot, so zip ties will get brittle over time.

drift freaq · 11-15-2011, 03:13 PM

very cool pics slider. Thanks for dropping that.

terrorist240 · 12-01-2011, 04:40 PM

Recently got the yellows installed. Love how you hear and feel the vibrations "better" I guess you can say. Feels like my KA is a super track car now LOL! I combo'd it with Peak Performance PRO tranny mount (it was the same price as the street one on sale so I said fuck it). Great combo, great product!

ghetto180 · 12-01-2011, 05:02 PM

how much for the green ones w/transmission mount, i will take a set paypal ready, will need shipping to 28301 thanks

Greens sell for $120 a set with a $15 shipping fee. I have not made a trans mount yet. I will be officially setting up a thread to round up the 5 or so people that have spoken up. When that happens and they commit I will start a trans mount run. For now there are no trans mounts from me.

carnal_c30 · 01-31-2012, 02:04 PM

I put mine in a few weeks ago in an otherwise stock S14 (gf's 240).

a tiny bit more vibration at idle, but the solid feeling is completely worth it
My gf loves them!
