all mounts done now woohoo
« on: February 06, 2005, 12:26:12 pm »
Just thought id share my joy in saying all my 4 urethane mounts are finally all in now, kinda did them slowly, did the tranny one in the summer, the right side a month later, and i just finished the front and back ones, the front one was hell, apparantly the awd ones are alot easier than the fwd ones.

The rear one was the easiest one that i've ever done, took about 10 mins.....its easy when the intake manifold is off :)

I also just got the new intake manifold and spacer on last night, it looks fucking awesome, so stealth, i'll snap a pic later today.

That rear is hell with nothing else disconnected.  Keep losing wrench hold, can only turn about 10 degrees at a time, must have taken me 2 hours worth of just try to get the wrench o the bolt for the next turn.  The rest were simple.  Front being the easiest in my awd anyways.

for me the front was definitly the hardest , the fwd ones are ALOT harder.
I personally cant see how its even possible that you could do the rear with nothing disconnected, i wouldn't even want to attempt that, there would def be some wrench throwing and cursing

what kind of prices are you guys finding for the urethane mounts?

I'm going to have my engine out here pretty quick, I'm thinking I might as well put some in when I have the chance....

yea i paid $90 cash for mine of Jamie Sibley. Make sure it comes with all for because mine came with 3 in a boc then another in a package.

I had them forever and only installed a couple, then the car got written off ( not my fault ) and when i bought my new talon i swaped the motor and installed the mounts :D
