Well it seems altho I know somebody up in the Ottawa area that can machine solid motor mounts, if you have thought about it now is the time I think $60 is a reasonable price.

So you install solid mounts.. now, where does that energy go that was taken up by the dampener mounts? out the input shaft? not all of it.. and what about first and second level harmonics? FC's are a rattle can to begin with, have fun chansing down all the micro fractures and other ' iffy ' connections that break or come loose. How do you offsets the trannys movement in comparison to the engines solidity now? that' twisting gets put right on the shoulders of the rear plate, everyone have thier enigne pinned ?

an adjustable torque damper is the way it should be done..

I told Nismo that last night, but was slightly intoxicated, so he didn't make much sense.

OK, the energy is going to be disipated throughout the whole car, a little more vibration HELL YES, and not only do I install the motor mouns I machine them. Ask any one that has been in my car, the vibrations are not that bad, soon long as you have a full interior it's not that bad, I threw a set in Bass' 1st Gen last spring, and he is still loving them. I'm not going to sell something that i have never used, or had no part in creating.

And those adjustable torque dampeners are JUNK, the only dament he load and don't allow the motor mounts to do the job correctly, I beleive R.P.M. had broke a set of stock mounts due to the holy dampener.

So have a good day Mr. Nothing is good enough for you.


Rick you said nothing of the sort last night, I asked if you ever were in my car you said no, I still run tranny mounts so quiet a bit of the vibration will end up going through those.

First off I have no clue what 'adjustable damper' your talking aobut, I make my own hydraulic dampers. Wainbee/Sperry Vickers/aeroquip I'm thinking that no it won't be breaking soon.. and the whole point behind adjustability is so that you can modify the damping based on track/street driving conditions. Also where the damper is located is a BIG factor in it's function.

"OK, the energy is going to be disipated throughout the whole car, a little more vibration"

really? so tell me if the motor mount TO the center iron is loaded up in the very opposite direction of the force applied when the clutch is engaged what's going to react to that loading more ? the very large and solid subframe or the center iron, which is already prone to allowing a twisting motion to occour under even moderate torque conditions using OEM mounts. I ask again how you plan to balance out the solid mounting of the engine with the torquing motion of the tranny?

Man people need to think before they just make and sell stuff, becuse it 'seems' to work on your car does not mean it's not doing damage or will work on other cars of high power.. ATTAIN makes a set of ' solid-ish mounts.. take a look at the work that goes into making those work.. then tell me your hunks-o-alloy are in the same league or better..

Thier are allot things that good enough for me.. all of them just happen to be made NOT by you. Oh and I'm being honest in my assesments, if that bites your *** or anyone elses, too bad. If MY work sucks I want to know about it and do whatever it takes to make it good enough..

Thier are allot of people here I'm sure who are structural eng. or mech Eng.. I'm not one, I'm just a lowly BSc. however I work with a P eng daily when working out the details on a new build/design. so it's right, or at very least as close as can be forseen. Regardless it really is lame too see that people don't speak up when something is not a good product or needs further development. It's like a mutual love in for the prozac set. I don't just say " you suck and it sucks" I give the best reasoning I can to go with why I think somehting is not good. If that offends your delicate sensabilities then don't make it public, IN a public fourm or grow a hide and take it as it is or question it.

Of course none of this your actually required to answer so ignore or respond.. no big deal. But at least it's out there for others to berate me for or think about.

Yeah you **** is junk, and you're a crook, WANT TO SUE ME AGAIN? lol


Still waiting to be served from last time...



Lots of oil in the oil pan. I'm sure that doesn't absorbe any vibration.

that's your actual reply to my post...?? I see you've put allot of thought into the product you plan to sell to other people...

and if it wasn't for 'RPM's' intervention on your behalf the last time you'd have it.

and torque load is NOT vibration the oil in the pan won't dampen it.

I don't care anymore, you seem to have a attitude about everything everyone says weather it be gauges weather it be cermit coating what ever you just seem to think that what you have to say is right. See I made the hockey puck motor mount, he called me and idiot, we installed them in a car he moddified my design and it vibrated worse then anycar I have been in with solid mounts.

I guess hockey pucks are good now eh JOE?


Whenever when a mod sees this just delete it please. It's useless pertains nothing to anything, I'll just stop making **** for rx7's just like everyone else.

Hockey pucks do work.. Just ask the FB driver who's used them for 2 years running on a 3/8 oval track spring race series.. every weekend. , it's NOT my choice of products I just pour Ureathane ones .. ' a little bit harder' goes a long way in most cases..

But yeah your right, just delete it.. hide those flaws you didn't think about under the carpet..

good thinking, now your using your head.

oh and since it's my opinion when I state it.. yeah I think I'm right ? you state things that you don't think are right ?

Dori, stop trying to turn it into a pissing match. Nismo asked if anyone wanted any mounts, not if someone wanted to critique them. If someone wanted to use them on their car, they do so at their own risk, its as simple as that. Just because you don't want any doesn't mean you have to belittle the product, and the guy who makes them. Its because of stupid **** like this that the aftermarket for 7s gets smaller every year.

.. LOL so, your saying that you'd rather NOT know about potential issues with the product.. you'd rather carry on oblivious ?? The market's not getting smaller, it's just not here.. the morket is growing like crazy in Japan. IT's not people like me who kill it, it's guys that are willing to buy $10-$20 worth of crap from back woods bob, and not support the companies that put in the time to do the testing and design.. that's why it's shrinking here.

if your happy with his product, regardless of my concerns and comments then fine.. it's no skin off your nose is it?? Like I said WAYYY back, he is by know means obligated to replay to ANYTHING I say.. He chose to, with personal attacks in this thread and others. Not the other way around.

You're putting words in my mouth. Don't do that. The aftermarket doesn't shrink because people try to supply cheap parts to it. It shrinks because people insult and tear apart designes that people come up with on their own, kind of like what you're doing. Now, that said, if I saw a problem with the part, which I'm not debating with you, tonight anyway, I wouldn't buy it. I don't mess with stuff that I don't know what it does. Only people who know what plusses and minuses of doing mods should mod their cars. If someone were to buy this product, not knowing that it could potentially f up their ride, then they're the dumbass here. Any mods can f up stuff up man.
Don't talk about stuff you don't know anything about, especially people you don't really know, and products you've never tried.

"Don't talk about stuff you don't know anything about, especially people you don't really know, and products you've never tried."

dude, anyone with a basic grade 12 physics passing mark should be able to see the inherent faults here.. and we USE solid mounts in aircraft WITH roaties so I DO have a clue , thanks for asking before YOU assumed ( pot calling kettle )


"You're putting words in my mouth. Don't do that. The aftermarket doesn't shrink because people try to supply cheap parts to it. It shrinks because people insult and tear apart designes that people come up with on their own, kind of like what you're doing."

So let me make sure I understand you correctly, so I'm not putting words in your mouth.. Your saying that a good product that gets questioned by someone is going to hurt the products exsistance MORE then 1,2-5+++, people not buying the prodcut but choosing to go with some fly by night, 'suspect' widget because it was cheaper... if the product is good, then the maker can answer any question at hand and provide validated answers to negate any 'negative comments'.. However someone NOT buying a product impacts finacially on that company that did the testing and has had to ammortize the R&D it into thier costs..

Yep, you just proved Nismo's point. Thanks for playing. So we're clear, aircraft and cars are not the same. Thanks for playing.
