Energy Suspension Motor Mount inserts???

[pelado]

I noticed in the Summit Import catalog (more like a flyer really) that Energy Suspension has polyurethane inserts for Hondas (of course), Eclipses, and Escort ZX-2s (of all things!).<BR>Has anyone checked to see if any of these will work in an MX-3? Anybody got a friend at a parts house that can find out?<P>Thanks!

What kind of inserts do you mean?? Like spacers to keep the engine cool??

[pelado]

No, polyurethane inserts in the motor mounts to make them stiffer, less likely to twist due to torque. Energy Suspension claims they can also be used to refurbish mounts with torn rubber. This would be a lot cheaper than the Mazdaspeed mounts but Energy doesn't make them for the MX-3 but some of the mounts looked close so I was wondering if anybody had figured out that one their part numbers also worked on the MX-3.

[Bri94GS]

Sorry, i don't know anything about them. How much torque do you have in your mx-3 that you plan on twisting stuff up??

i injected poly into my mount, works great

I'm swapping in a KLZE soon.<P>What brand and type of poly? I didn't know there was some available off the shelf that I could inject myself.

I used some Polyurethane for sealing windows from Homedepot. Yet another sub-$10 mod

Dave did you do your rear mount? Is it filled with like jelly sort of stuff?

[Bri94GS]

What exactly does this mod do? I'm kinda interested...

[David Coleman]

No, I just did the front. Some of the Probers have fabricated solid mounts using a steel plate welded in place of the rubber support. Reduces flex...
