Why Use Motor Mount Inserts?
- Increase Horsepower to the Ground
- Reduced Wheel Hop
- More Responsive Motor
The first and foremost reason for firming up your motor mounts is to hold the engine more firmly in place. Often the more pliable stock motor mounts will allow the engine to move too much - resulting in wheel hop and a loss of power. The more extreme version of this is when a an owner has increase the vehicle's horsepower more than the stock motor mounts were meant to handle. This can cause tearing the stock motor mounts as well as damage to the engine and engine bay should the engine be allowed too much movement.
Will This Kit Work on My Motor Mounts?
The mounts you're working with MUST have voids in them like the mounts shown here. These voids are what you will be filling with urethane. Without voids - there is nothing to fill! Most FWD vehicles will have several mounts designed like this.
Which Mounts Should I Use?
Most FWD vehicles have several different motor mounts - typically from 4-5 mounts. Some of the motor mounts are designed significantly different from the others. TORQUE mounts are the motor mounts designed to reduce the amount of engine movement when power is applied. Main Mounts are the mounts designed to support and hold the weight of the engine.
TORQUE mounts are the most effective mounts at providing a great rigidity to the engine assembly without transmitting as much natural vibration to the driver. Torque mounts are typically located at the front and or rear of the engine. Main mounts are typically located higher on the engine assembly as the engine weight usually hangs from these.
While it is typically possible to firm up all the mounts on a vehicle - the torque mounts will provide the best trade off of performance and vibration.
What is Required to complete this Project?
The following items are not included in this kit and must be purchased at a local hardware store. These can be purchased for approximately $10
Duct Tape - Seals one side of the mount
Contact Cement - Helps the duct tape seal against greasy surfaces
Degreaser - Cleans the mount of grease and oil to ensure an easy project
Sand - in a box - vital to the project - don't skip this one.
What Level of Hardness should I use?
There are a number of firmness or "durometer" levels offered. The default is 60A as it's the most used and most popular. These are:
60A - For the Daily Driver - This is the softest formula offered that will still make a noticeable difference in vehicle performance. This softer formula is best for tuners that still want to increase performance without trading off as much personal comfort.
80A - Even trade off between performance and vibration when it comes to motor mount inserts. This formula is the most popular for it's ability to significantly increase vehicle performance while still allowing some small amount of flex in the mounts to keep vibration and noise to reasonable levels
94A - Race Quality - Not for the daily driver. This formula is the hardest of the 3 available. Providing the best reduction in motor movement - this version will also allow a rather significant amount of engine vibration to be transmitted into the vehicle.
Is one kit enough to complete my project?
One kit includes 1 lb of the Liquid Urethane. On most vehicles this will be enough to complete the project on ALL the mounts on a vehicle.
What Kind of Quality Urethane is included?
This kit includes 1 lb of the highest grade liquid urethane available for a project like this. This product has been proven to work well for creating motor mount inserts and lasting for the life of the mount.

NADA asks U.S. to suspend clunkers program
Thu, 20 Aug 2009National Automobile Dealers Association officials asked the government to suspend the cash-for-clunkers program because a survey by the group found that the $3 billion fund has been exhausted, NADA Chairman John McEleney said. "We asked them to put a halt to the program--I think we said 'very soon'--but a suspension at midnight tonight would make sense," McEleney said in an interview Wednesday. "Our survey opened the eyes of the Transportation Department." A suspension would allow dealers to submit all pending claims and permit the government to process them so that a precise determination could be made of how much money, if any, is left in the program, he said.

Prices start at £72,266 for the Panamera S (which gets the 4.8 V8), £77,269 for the Panamera 4S (which also gets the V8 but with 4WD) and £95,298 for the range-topping Panamera Turbo. Still to come, although not until next year, is the Diesel, and the year after the Hybrid.
Update: Google's robot car is like driving an elevator
Wed, 28 May 2014Welcome to the future everyone, you may now release all worries, and all control. Google has released photos and video of its first self-driving vehicle, and a Ferrari 458 it ain't. The car pod people mover has no steering wheel, no gas pedal and no brakes.
