I'm gonna install them after work, then if it doesnt rain, i'm going to the drag strip ! :)

New time slips HERE I COME !


Here are the pics of the install... this is very easy, only 3 screws and 1 nut/bolt to remove on each side. This mod can be done with regular tools, you'll need 2 ratchets and two 14mm sockets.. (one for each ratchet).
I used 1 stock jack, and 2 jack-stands to support the car. You DO NOT HAVE TO SUPPORT THE MOTOR IF YOU DO THEM 1 AT A TIME !

What kind of performance will you gain with the new mounts?

[SWortham]

No more wheel hop. :D Hopefully.

[2004ElantraGLS]

Ouch! $315 seems like a lot. Let us know how they feel.

Well, of course you'll probably also be able to chirp the tires at every gear change 1st through 3rd. With the supercharger, maybe 1st through 4th. ;)

[FordFasteRR]

I'll have to find out after I install them this afternoon :)

[04Elantra]

would those be included in the mount/bushing kit that KSPEC started selling for the XDs??????????????

[FordFasteRR]

No, its not the accessory bushing kit..

this is the front and rear engine mount with the poly bushings already assembled... it is NEW and I got it in the box.

315$ or 7$ for window weld? lol...i guess ill hear what you have to say and ill do the window weld and see if it matches...haha...but if i had some extra money to get rid of, i might get some...i know ill need somethin w/ my turbo kit

[SWortham]

Window weld can crack... it doesn't typically work too well in terms of durability for motor mounts. There is another product which will work better that Random suggested a long time ago, I can't remember what it's called. What Fordfasterr got would certainly be the best if you're willing to fork over the cash.

[evan938]

update:

I have added the installation pictures on the first post of this thread...

GO SEE THEM NOW ! :)

I would also like to add that these mounts are sold for the 03 tiburon 4 cylinder model :) HEHEHEHE

[Elantra2.001]

:D So how much more vibration is transmitted? And how is the ride and shifting... DETAILS!! :D

The stuff Random was talking about was the Urethane from Mcmaster I believe. There are different durometers to choose from.

I am pretty sure I have a couple new mounts for a 5spd that I could sell cheap if someone wants to modify them at home. I will double check and let you know Monday.

[BLK02XD]

i did the front and back motor mounts with window weld and the motor is pretty much solid, the whole car moves when you try to push on the motor with you hands. and 3rd gear chirps

[FordFasteRR]

well.... the mounts work great.

but the vibration is almost unbearable...

I guess i'll have to get used to it. lol :)

UPDATE:

Ok, yesterday I removed the front poly mount... I re-installed the stock unit .. I left the back poly mount in place & the vibration went down by 80% ... now it is more tolerable... however it still vibrates a lot with the a/c on ...

I noticed more engine movement after swapping the stock unit back on so I know that these mounts are really working...

I dont know what I want to do in the future so i'm going to hang on to the front mount for now...
