ah, it all makes sense now.

What're you changing to then?

jsaric

i bought oem diff mounts, but they still needs to be replaced.

Reid

I ran Hasport 95A diff mounts with OEM engine/trans mounts without any issues.

I am now using Spoon engine/trans mounts with the same Hasport diff mounts without any issues.

Hmmm. There is no fault per se. It still drives well enough, just the play in the drive line.

Ill try the mugen mounts and feedback this thread.

zoukieee

install them and let me know how it goes.

Good luck!

jsaric

maybe i said wrong.

he didnt think as it would not be ok.

he just wanted to point out that weakest link in chain will fail first.


and i agreed with him, becase will do 3-4 trackdays per year, and i am ok with oem ones

jsaric

i will let you know.

but that will be in 3 months or so.

i do it like this:

i am buying parts every month something, then when i go to regural mainteance then they put all of the accumulated parts in

in croatia parts for such rare vehiche are very expensive.

and average sallary i think is about 600$.


now i have broken windshield. guess the quote..
with 30% off it costs (change included) something over 1000€

zoukieee

Is that what he meant? I thought he meant that regardless of match or mismatch, the mounts would work.

So what he actually meant was, that the OEM mounts failed and he is now on Spoon mounts?

zoukieee

Oh damn, Mine is almost 100% covered by insurance.

What else are you installing?

Reid

You said it correctly. I'm just providing one data point that I had absolutely no problems running "mismatched" mounts. While the engine/trans and the diff are connected by the driveshaft, this car does not have a PPF like on a Mazda which rigidly links the front and rear of the drivetrain together. Running "mismatched" mounts is not a problem.

For the sake of providing more information, the 95A diff mounts provided some diff whine under deceleration above 75+ mph. The Spoon engine/trans mounts add some NVH to the car, but it's barely noticeable. FWIW, I also have rigid collars installed in the front/rear subframes and the steering box, which made the car noticeably more compliant.

My OEM mounts only had 18k miles on them, and looked new when they came out. None of these mounts were changed because the OEM's failed.
