This is why the motor mounts break (video)

Yeah there was another video somewhere here in which they compared a Honda Civic SI, Mazdaspeed3 and a VW on the dyno and you could see it rock between shifts.
 
i redline mine all the time it was made for that , i hope my motor mounts dont break lol
 
WOAH Momma! That was crazy lookin. Pretty cool at the same time! Like watching something you dont want to see but cant turn away!
 
Anyone know if they are coming out with stronger side mounts? I have the better AWR rear mount already.
 
They don't have to break in the video but the pull on the motor makes some people just wonder about stronger side mounts as well. If we mod our cars i.e. intake, turbo back system, TMIC or FMIC swap, and possibly more will the mounts hold out? That's why I asked the question are there stronger side mounts possibly in the works. I will be doing some major mods in time to my car would love to see stronger mounts.

I dont see any otor mount breaking in that video. Did you?
All cars do that. Did you check the video of the new BMW 3 series the same thing.:bs:

Yeah I wouldn't blame any mount breakage on that, but it sure doesn't help that bolt from backing out.

I have a vid of my MSP on the dyno, and the motor hardly moves... now granted the run is done with front and rear poly mounts, but the comment of "all cars do that" is not true. You don't want the motor moving that much all the time.

The last run on the vid is a underhood shot.

but yeah, wow that 3s engine moves a ton! I've seen Proteges on a dyno and it didn't move that much I thought?
 
And This

Is with an AWR bottom mount (70 duro)
Stable enough to keep the box fan on there.
