DC2R Engine Mounts

[DC2R]

No dramas at all mate glad I could
I'm not sure about those two extra thingys, but I do know that the hardrace kit I bought came with all four mounts, as opposed to three that you get with hasport/innovative.
Just give them a tinkle tomorrow, JDMyard have been so helpful every time I call.
Anyway, it's time for me to grab a 2:00am kebab from down the street.
Let us know how you go

LoL 2am!!! You must be an hour behind Sydney?

Yeah I will ring them. I have bought stuffs from them before!!

Enjoy that kebab PeachY!

inserts (ES) work unless you have broken mounts...

we just installed a set of 75A innovative mounts into a civic coupe running a b20b. Alot of vibration in the cabin. The owner of the car likes it as it does give the car a 'rawer' feel to it and there is pretty much zero movement of the motor.

Probably wouldn't recommend it for someone that wants to keep the car nice and quiet. That being said though, the car is still quite streetable.

ive got 65A hasport mounts on my R.

about the first 10-15 mins, there is vibration but it settles and barely noticable after that.

i agree with the raw feel. i love it. worth it IMO

Where'd you get them from and how much?

I got them from JDMyard, dunno what I paid for them but it's on there site

Hardrace have some really great products, it's quite new on the market.

But to me these are reliable engine mounts and I didn't want something that fails, I didn't mind saving the extra coin for Hasports reliability.

Good luck man!

[DC2R]

Yeah I'm either gonna go hasports or hardrace. Getting car checked out tomoz then when confirmed I will order up something.

I'm not interested in filling them with inserts or polyeurathane...

So i'm after something better than OEM but bearable on the street.

Hardrace def better than OEM, same design with gaps in rubber ie not solid one piece filled type but rubber about 30% stiffer than new oem. 30% not a lot but compared to old clapped out oem mounts still huge difference you'll feel.

Do you intend to track your car/ compete in it?

Will be getting the hardrace kit for our dc2r, along with various bushes and camber and tor kits from buyhardrace.com. No intention to track that car aprt from some tuning days and autokhanas hence the choice.

For my track eg I have Avid mount kit, as well as their front torque mounts. They can feel harsh at idle at times ie you get blurred rear visor mirror images and your indicator stalk blurrs too. But once above 1000rpm or so it's all good. Our engines very smooth/well balanced dont forget and doesnt have inherent vibrational characteristics at certain rpm range like some engines. You might want to sit in others cars' with poly billet mounts to see if the extra NVH is acceptable to you or not.

Avid is a Canadian based company, cheaper than Hasport and similar product ie billet Alum poly filled. Best place to get them I find is thru xenocron US$260 + shipping ( even cheaper than US$275 for hardrace but doesnt come with compliance bushes just 3 mounts ). Torque mounts another US$120.

Got car checked out. Engine mounts are sagged but not torn or broken..

Just ordered the hardrace kit through JDMYARD.. Should have these installed on Monday so i'll let everyone know how it goes.

Thanks to everyone who helped out. I really appreciate it..

[DC2R]

For those who have purchased the hard race engine mounts is this normal?

[tinkerbell]

looks fine to me.

have you seen your OEM mounts?

[DC2R]

Not out of the car. I'm getting these hard race ones installed on Monday.

[EG30]

very normal from hardrace

[tinkerbell]

it is called 'flashing' IIRC...

[DC2R]

Thanks guys..

[DC2R]

Hey guys, got my hardrace engine mounts installed today and ES shifter bushings that I got from Tinkerbell.

First impressions..... WOW!!!!

As soon as I started the car up it just felt awesome!
Had some vibration coming through the steering wheel and a little bit of rear view mirror shake but that disappears a few mins after startup..
I also tested the car with the A/C on and it was fine, same as without it on.

Did I say I love these mounts?
The car feels brand new again. Sounds and feels awesome and tight, the gear shift with the new poly bushes from Tinkerbell are amazing as well.

I am officially in love with my car again. I'm really keen to see others cars at the BBQ with poly mounts.

Forgot to mention. I did get slugged with $515 labour for this job...

These hardrace mounts are more then bearable on the street and in the future I may go to hasport..

Thanks to everyone that helped me decide.
