:o I'm curious if Traction bars would be enough, I guess there is no replacement for a non-moving engine.

I'm about to pull the motor mounts out and window weld them. Guess I should go get started .

Windo-weld is shit. Get real urethane. 60 shore urethane will transmit less vibration and last whereas windo-weld tends to fail because its not meant to bear loads.

The NVH comes mainly from the prothanes contacting the brackets connecting the chassis/cabin directly to the engine. If you make your mounts so there is some space in there it makes all the difference.

Or like I said you could stop being a little sissy.

add the $4 wheel hop aid as well. a lot of the b15 guys have been doing that and suprisingly it works great. put 2 washers between the frame and crossmember, and one on the outside. or just buy these.

i used the window weld and it worked amazing. Way better than my prothanes. They held up great, but there is a right way to do it. You have to clean your old mounts really really well and dry them. Don't use carb spray or brake cleaner. Give them a full day min to cure and put them back on. I still have my old homemade motor mounts.

I'm wondering how much I should do before doing too much. From what I remember hearing before, it's a good idea to fill the empty space in the motor mounts to simply avoid them being ripped out due to torque, correct?
