| Driveline mounts grant - Thursday, 26 September, 2013, at 8:34:48 pm |
I'd very much like my track car to have a firmer moor/tranny mounting like my regular car, but, alas, Pedro'sgarage no longer makes the enthusiast mount. Too bad. Another quality product from our board sponsor.
So I've been doing some research. I wound up on the phone with the Wevo guy. He vacillated a bit on whether their mount would be too stiff for my liking (any BTDT? speak up!). Interestingly, he thought that i might get better driveline location and less NVH by changing the tranny mounts. He is certainly correct that they don't bolt to that sounding board behind your right ear called the firewall.
Any opinion? Experience?

If you drive it on the streets you're not going to like it.
One of the project cars we did (986 Spyder) had the solid tranny mounts and it was very annoying.
we had to go back to OEM.
Happy Boxstering,

I went with the Wevo when my OEM disintegrated. I may have a good comparison, as I suspect the motor mount was bad when I bought the car. I noticed though, that the only difference was additional vibration and noise in the cabin. I don't track it, so I don't know if it improved performance. I am actually considering going back to OEM
