AWR MM Issues

[hyck]

I installed the 70 durometer AWR MM around 5-6 months ago. In the beginning I was very happy with it, no wheel hop...!!, but a lot of vibrations from the inside. Now it feels if I am driving with a OEM MM, a lot of wheel hop, just like with the oem one, but with the same annoying vibrations. Anyone experienced the same thing? I think I might go back to the stock one. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Many do, but hate to admit it cause they spent good $$ for the AWR mount.

This mod will rejuvinate your mount:

And if you feel like reinforcing your stock mount instead (no cabin vibrations like AWR):

you can upgrade the main motor mounts to the ones used in the MS3 too

B37F-39-040D (#1 engine mount; AWR "rear" mount replaces this)
B37F-39-060D (#3 engine mount)
B37F-39-070D (#4 engine mount)

no one has tried these mounts yet but I'm sure they will fit... the MS3 uses a different tranny so there's a possibility that the #4 mount won't work on a normal 3

#4 is the transmission mount right? I've yet to find that myself. Once I find it and I see that it's built the same way as the rear, I'm gonna mod the hell out of it.

On a sorta related note, what would you say the durometer of hot glue once its cold is? Im thinkin it may end up being a decent alternative to some of the other stuff ppl have used, and it would set up super quick, so people who dont have time to spend car-less due to their mm being out... think ill give it a try tomorrow

those glue sticks? those feel very soft.
