yes...you read it...they are on the car...too bad my site's down, so no pics....

haven' driven it cause i'm dead tired and still deadening my trunk. may take it for a quick spin tonite. maybe not. who knows....

but i can say this...from turning it on and letting it sit at idle....i HARDLY felt vibrations. i mean vibrations do exist. you need to understand these are stiffer mounts, but compared to what was said about PR's mounts, these are completely tolerable. i felt it but i was sitting there and i'm like "i can do this...no problems with this"....i am very happy...energy's gettin a great review, so far. still havne' driven it...can't wait to do some quick launches.

install issues...hardly any....had to pay a shop to press the old ones out and the new ones in....sucked but hey, these mounts were free, so who am i to complain....they look real nice and other than having to use a jack to lift and lower the tranny a few times, it was a piece of cake. the raising of the tranny was only cause well, the mounts held some weight of the engine, and with these new ones, i was shifting around between 1/4-1/2" until it lined up. once it all got screwed in, it was good to go. cleaned up, sprayed some black rustoleum on the crossmember since it's been aparently scratched to all hell due to my drop, and i'm done....if my site loads up anytime soon, i'll throw some pictures of hte crossmember and of the mounts installed and mounted.

fyi: 17mm will take care of everything. 19mm if you want to separate the brackets off the crossmember, but just 17mm if you can keep the crossmember and the brackets together.

 

Cool. I'm thinking about getting these myself. Let us know how they feel on the road and with launches etc.

Where do I sign up ! ??

 

so where is the write-up???

 

no cheezy writeups will be posted. since these will be official release products from energy suspension, you will have complete detailed instructions when you order them. as for when, that has yet to be determined, but i will say this. by having these mounts installed, we just sped up the process by a lot.

 

ok polo go drive your freakin' car already! Let's hear what you think of 'em....

 

I have the PR mounts and I love them. The only time you notice the vibration is with the AC on and you are at a stop. I have had them for 3 months and they have settled in very nicely. I noticed the car seems to have a little more get up and go and the lights don't dim as much, since i had the electronic mounts.

 

i can live with that

 

soon...but not now....too tired....and too lazy to take the ramps out.

 

drink a cold one, and test it in the am

 

i'm sorry...can someone explain to me please what is the difference between the stock motor mounts and the PR ones? and what is the advantage of having the PR motor mounts?

 

Ramps? You need ramps to get out of your driveway.

 

hope your RSB falls off one day. i knew i should have left it loose.

 

huh.......

 

I would have tightened them myself.

 

Inside joke, don't worry.

 

Son I live in Queens too where did you get the motor mounts and the suspension bushings.

ill say this again, you cannot buy these. i am testing them out for energy suspension. few months ago i started a relationship with them on releasing a full bushing upgrade for the 5th gen, starting with the 6speed models. we're almost done, after i drive this for a few weeks and give them my review on it, they will continue with the rest of their work and complete the rest of the bushings.

when they're released, i'm sure i will post to go directly to the energy site.

 

as promised, the car was driven last nite.
took it through city streets, quick take offs, on the expressway, highrpm shifts, etc....

if anyone's worry is about the vibrations, then you have NOTHING to worry about. even the shop that swapped the mounts said i'd shake. but i got in the car, and even though i felt it, it was so subtle that i soon forgot about it. during shifts, the car seemed to pick up a lot better. you know hwo sometiems you get that jerk, but it doesn't feel like the car picked up to that same momentum, mainly cause that jerk was just engine flexxing. in this case, every tiem i "pulled" the engine picked up immediately. a couple peelouts, nothing drastic, and the car just gripped and went.
i'm already giving my thumbs up to our energy rep. he wants me to test it for at least 2 weeks, but last nite alone i was already enjoying the car all over again. it seemed liek it was in a great mood.

these mounts are great, you guys will love them, supplemented with the rest of the bushings that energy is making. the crossmember that holds the motor mounts is also held in by 4 bushings, which i assume absore vibrations. i still have the OEM bushings but my energy rep said he should be sending me those as well, so these will also lessen the vibes even more (from the little that it has gained).

hope i've made some people happy. i already mentioned that some people are impatient and anxious. he says he's already got his paperwork ready. he's waiting for upper management and sales to finish their part and then we'll be a go. WOOOO HOOOO

 

I'm interested in these motor mounts. Can anyone tell me if these will work for auto's?

Also, are any of the other bushings being developed applicable to the auto?

Almost forgot, thank you Polo for making this happen.

 

should fit auto's
sway bar links won't fit since SE's are thicker. other than that, crossmember bushings, tie bar, control arm, etc... bushings should be exactly the same. so yes, other pieces will fit. mainly sway and shifter will not be applicable.

 

update....?

 

Yo Polo,
Any word on the control arm bushings yet?

 

updates?????????????????????

 

Very interested.

 

same

 

lol damnit, all this talk has me considering the cost of some PU motor mounts, whether PR or Energy Suspension if they're available soon... I am craving tighter response and less wheel hop

 

Marco monkey man, where are you?!?

 

bump it again..

 

me want to know about these LONG TIME!!!

 

still waiting.......

 

Hey Guys,

Here's an update from Marco that he PM'd me... isn't looking too good, unfortunately...

 

 

oh ouch... that really really sucks
wish that guy luck...

 

a call has been placed....to the new rep....i expect a call between next monday or tuesday with an update/status of the project.
supposedly the maxima project was "done" but the only thing left was to go through the sales department for pricing and all that stuff, but like i said before, the new rep is, how do i put, a captain dumb**** cause he has yet to call me, and the old rep would email me 10 times a day, just to bother me. we had good relations. this new one seems to be a lazy ***. in either case, the call has been made, and email sent to my old rep letting him know that this new guy is an idiot, so hopefully something will come of this.
now, the reason i've been mia and i have supposedly ignored requests is because i was working at the US Open for the past month and was doing insane 8am-2am shifts as i was managing IT for the media/press center. but that is done, and i am working normal human hours now, so NOW i will be able to get a little more involved.

 

Thanks for the update Marco!

I think I'll get the SFC's and deal with this when they're out.

 

Polo,

Any idea of the ballpark price on these once released?

 

how soon will they be released?
I need them bad, my mounts are busted...
