I've done it before but can't remember what I used. So question I have is what do you use and where do you buy it? I've heard 3m makes one but what is recommended and what have you used. Thanks in advance

You can always pop out the rubber inserts and then weld in a solid metal piece. Just would need a lathe and drill press.

 

i think ive seen this before. isnt it just 3m eproxy?

that's a big help....Thanks for that video. I need to go pick some of that up.

 

wow i think im gonna try that on the front motor mount.

 

I figure if you do it and it doesn't really work too good then you spend 15-20 bucks or less and some time. I did do it on my eclipse's side mount and it workded awesome. I didn't go too crazy on the expoxy but it held really good.

 

i've been researching this and it isnt as easy to the evo front bushing. the side and rear bushings have holes so you can fill in the urethane and you can get a good bond on both sides unfortunately the stock front bushing on the evo does NOT have any holes; hence urethane has much less to grab onto. you'd have to effectively pour one side, let it dry then do the other...

i believe having holes is critical to the strength of the urethane bond. it gives you ability to tape up one side, then pour in one sitting so it cures as one piece (not two). it would require either fully gutting out the rubber (minus the metal bushing) or gutting portions of it.

 

I've read somewhere about cutting holes into it to use.....but I have an extra front mount so I'll give it a try or I just won't worry about that one and buy a solid one.

 

so what exactly is the benefit of solid mounts? i know it makes the car vibrate a lot more inside it, at least it did on my buddies car

 

With the motor shifting around less in the engine bay, more power is transferred to the wheels. It also aids with smoother shifting, and helps eliminate wheel hop. It also audibly changed the whole tone (sounds deeper) of my car from both inside as well as out. *shrugs*

 

doesnt wheel hop as much

 

You can get 3M window sealant as well and that supposedly works very well. I would try to scratch up and roughen the rubber before putting the epoxy in before hand so it stays in there.

 

Good call. That's what another guy told me to use. I am going to go hunt some down. I'll post up exactly how much it costs and how long it takes me to do it. I am going to do the tranny mount first then prob the passenger side. I'll drive it and see how that feels and then decide if I want to do the others.
