Want to find some stiffer mounts for my motor and tranny.... i searched and could only find spoon .... but i want soild or damn close to solid... anyone sell anything like this ?

 

Simple, if you want "solid". Just have someone machine some up for you.

I can't fathom why you would want this, though. It would put a lot more stress on the drivetrain.

Why do you think they are not solid to begin with? Compliance is the main reason, although noise reduction is also a big factor.

 

I know why people stiffen engine mounts... What i do NOT know is how it adversly affects the drivetrain like you stated. I would like to know more though.

 

Since you know why peole stiffen their motor mounts, explain it to us?

 

The less you allow the engine to move in reaction to the vibrations involved, the more stress you put on it (unless you allow it to move too much at the wrong frequencies, which is even worse).

 

so the motor doesnt move as much ... meaning that your shit isnt just flopping around... the reason that its not OE is because honda doesnt look at the car as a "race car" but a street car so people arnt going to want to drive around with everything vibrating... but i plan on racing mine and i dont mind the noise and stuff.... plus when your racing you can feel the motor more and what its doing... you get better response out of the car also

 

You do realize there are reasons why race cars break a LOT more often than street cars, right? This sort of thing is one of those reasons.

Like I said, you will be putting more stress on your drivetrain. It's up to you to decide if that's a worthwhile trade or not, for your situation.

The reason it's not OEM is mainly because Honda knows most people expect their engines to last for 200000 miles, not 5000 or even 500 miles.

 

Use an ETD, much cheaper and easy to adjust

You can put a max preload to it so your $hit vibrats I know mine did when I set it at max preload
