Need Opinions on Poly-filled Motor Mounts
I need some insight on whether to go with poly-filled Place Racing mounts from Cattman or to acquire all the mounts from my 5-speed parts car and fill them with urethane myself. I've read positive things about both but want to go with the best set up.
They'll be paired with an ACT Stage 2 and Fidanza flywheel in a few weeks, as well as an Evolution-Autodesign turbo in the spring...
Any opinions on whether to go homemade or buy PR, and also which urethane to use would be appreciated...
Thanks

Look at the 4th gen FAQ.. I am gonna use the window weld from autozone and see how that goes.
Also google homemade motor mounts for other opinons from non maximas

No, you can remove the mounts one at a time and fill them, just make sure they are fully hardened. It would be best for you to get some spare mounts and fill those, then replace them all at the same time.
Since I'm doing a 5-speed conversion, I picked up 4 spare mounts that I will fill and have installed.
It would be impossible to do with them on the car

I got the 2 part 80 durometer urethane stuff from www.mcmaster.com. This stuff hardens in a few hours but they'll be sitting for almost a week before they actually go on the car.

You're doing exactly what I did. I notice a nasty vibration around 900rpm, but other than that they're great. Drivetrain feels more solid, wheelhop is down and the vibrations aren't really that bad!

Vibration is normal, it is worse if you have a coke can and coins in the cup holder. Theyll drive you crazy.

That's the major upside to making your own over buying PR's.

Anybody know where you can get used mounts cheap ONLINE?
I can't find the damn selection on www.car-parts.com.
Any junkyard scroungers come across a set, let me know.
