L61 Motor/Tranny Mount Semi-Group Buy (Work in Progress)

[whitemexican]

Hello everyone the name is Matt I just joined this forum about a day ago and the real reason was cause the L61 section caught my attendtion, I looked over the forum and this thread caught my eye = N-body ecotec motor Mounts (http://www.aleromod.com/forums/showthread.php?t=29115)

well im on Ecotecforum.com and one of the vendors over there is TTR you can check out the site @ TTR (www.turbotechracing.com)

Well I read over and I seen that the upper mount on our cars and tranny mounts have not been made into a light-weight/aftermarket one which there should be a company willing to do one well I talked with Aaron from TTR and he said if we could get aleast 5 ppl to pre pay for a mount he could make us one, but first im gonna send him the mounts so we can get the price that needs to be paid but i need to know how many ppl would be interested in this plus the more we have the less we pay

here is a pic of our motor/tranny mounts

http://www.trademotion.com/schematics/C/CP97222.gif

Im looking to see if number 1 and number 5 can be made to seeing how they are the main mounts


SO WHO IS DOWN TO GET ONE OR AT LEAST HELP OUT IN GETTING ONE???

[whitemexican]

why not boost before you put money into motor mounts?

well i am getting boosted working on my custom GT28 set up, but why would someone wanna go thought boosting out there motor with stock mounts the way i see it is i wanna change out every part i can to a aftermarket or performance, but thats just my way of thinking about it :p

If it wasn't TTR or anyother reputable company I wouldn't be down for it, I've seen alot of group buys go sour.

(these are just numbers I am throwing out there) my theory is if a guy only has $1000 to throw at a car right away, I would spend it on boost over motor mounts in a hearbeat...

but yest I change out a lot of parts that is probably not necessary. I think it would be safe to say that as far as parts and overkill:lol: I have the most complete 3400 build going in an alero or grand am currently....

[Malibu369258]

Agreed. Hopefully TTR will go through with this.

[AbHeLlRaZoR]

Agreed. Hopefully TTR will go through with this.


I think one of the biggest problems we've had in the past with the idea is that there isn't really much of a market for N-body motor/trans mounts it's just a few of us together wanting them biggest reason being the N-body scene is no where near as popular as the J-body and Delta scene so these companies only make a small fraction of money off of us.

but i do so what agree on the comment you first made about the 1,000 but at the same time the guy that drop that 1,000 on a set up is the one that ends up having problems and is sometime no happy cause he did not wait :)

but you know where im coming from and truth to be told i wanna be just like you but instead its a build L61 malibu :)



ALSO JUST CAME FROM THE JUNK YARD AND GOT THE UPPER MOUNT GOING TO BE SENDING IT TTR AS SOON AS I GET HIS ADDRESS SO FAR THE LIST IS STILL UP TO 4 PPL WE NEED AT LEAST 5 AND I KNOW THERE ARE MORE MEMBER OUT THERE LOOKING INTO GETTING ONE OF THESE MOUNTS

yes but the way you need to look at it, is this forum nor will other exist if ppl were not set on customizing or modifiing N-body regaurdless of engine size cause you know what it not just the motor mount it lots of other things too and its about time ppl start making things we can use on our cars and not just making the same old thing for every other car (like hondas - not hating on hondas i own 3 del sol)

[Vic28]

Ok the only thing for the AUTO tranny the number 5 is not the same as the MANUAL one... so Im only interested on the upper one. I wouldnt see why it would be an issue to find atleast 5 ppl interested on the #5 mount, since autos are more popular and also if im not mistaking, the 2.4 and prolly the 3.4 has the same tranny side mount.

[whitemexican]

yeah on the tranny mount most of the auto use the same mount I saw that today when i was at the junk yard i was seaching thought number of n-body and it was all the same even throught the 3100 3400 2.2 and 2.4 but for now it looks like its only gonna be the upper mount in the works

[whitemexican]

ALRIGHT WE HAVE 5 NOW going to let the vendor know if anybody still wants to join in plz just post letting me know

[whitemexican]

Ok Guys well I spoke with Aaron and he set the price at 149.99, he has the motor mount designed, also as far as I know the list is still at 5 ppl is there anyone else that would wanna get one of the mounts - like all group buys the more ppl we have the less the price we pay!!!

ALSO Member that is low on cash PM me

[colonel6632]

i have the 5 speed. is that the mount being made?

[whitemexican]

i have the 5 speed. is that the mount being made?

NO right now the only mount being made is for the motor not for the tranny at this time

but its the same upper mount you have

P.S. i answered your pm

[whitemexican]

FROM AARON

Parts have been sent to the shop today to test build the first unit. We hope to have it completed by late next week.

Let us know,
Aaron
TTR

[Vic28]

Good good, I should get in contact with him for the 5-speed tranny mount(back and front), the j-body ones fit but the sleeves needs to have a bore so the bolt can pass thru.

[whitemexican]

if you want too you can e-mail him at Aaron@TurboTechRacing.com

A NEW MESSAGE FROM AARON

Next break is at 10 and you will get $139.99 each.

Original is so sloppy, everyone will be very happy on how it looks and how "rigid" ours will be.

Let us know,
Aaron
TTR

[Cliff8928]

I've gotta see it before I commit to it...

That should be a cakewalk for them.

[whitemexican]

I've gotta see it before I commit to it...

well if i get some pics of it i will post them up here

[colonel6632]

any idea on what the final cost will be with shipping, so i know how much to put aside exactly. and i assume that 150 is usd

[colonel6632]

Good good, I should get in contact with him for the 5-speed tranny mount(back and front), the j-body ones fit but the sleeves needs to have a bore so the bolt can pass thru.

sorry for the double post, but couldn't you just drill the hole out bigger yourself. i also have a machine shop next door (machining and welding) they could probably do it for me too correct?

[Vic28]

sorry for the double post, but couldn't you just drill the hole out bigger yourself. i also have a machine shop next door (machining and welding) they could probably do it for me too correct?
Yes... I ended up drilling them before with the Prothane mounts I bought from them. I figured if they can just change the sleeve bore to the correct one they can sell it under N-bodies and cover a slightly bigger market, only thing I dont remember the size at the moment. I dont recommend the Prothane ones tho they cracked before I got a chance to use it on the track, they might work for regular driving but not for lil abuse... http://www.turbotechracing.com/productcart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=1274&idcategory=507

This the one Im getting:
http://www.turbotechracing.com/productcart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=4915&idcategory=507
and I bet you can get them drilled in any machine shop.

[colonel6632]

[colonel6632]

*bump*
i emailed aaron, and hey said they should have a test one by the end of the week

How are you gonna test it??? Are you gonna tried them and see if its stop some wheel hop.

[whitemexican]

When I spoke with Aaron he said the first one made was gonna get sent to me after i paid and then after i test it he will start collecting the rest of the funds and send the rest out

there are choices you guys will have as far a metal color and bushing color

I chosed polished with red bushing wanted blue but he would have to wait about 2 weeks before he can get the blue bushing

now as far as testing im looking at:
-Fitment & mounting (cause this is gonna be the first one made)
-how much smooth running its
-how much it reduces wheel hop
-how much vibrations it absorbs
-plus pics of - mount, installing, on vehicle

[whitemexican]

this should be done already i NEED MOUNTS

[colonel6632]

also, will that also be the price to ship for us canadian, if not can we get the price for that

[TurboTechRacing]

also, will that also be the price to ship for us canadian, if not can we get the price for that

We ship USPS priority mail (postal mail) to keep duties taxes low/sometimes none. It will be $35 or $45 depending on your location. Much better than UPS/Fed EX going to Canada, as they charge so much to you for duties/taxes.

[Vic28]

I wonder if CLiff gonna get one... cause I think razor its MIA and leaving alero scene.

[Vic28]

Once we get to 5 we will collect payment, once 5 payments are paid in full, we will get everything going, and the parts should ship in about 2 weeks after this date.
Do I get a better deal if I buy the 5-speed tranny mounts??:rolleyes2:

[TurboTechRacing]

Do I get a better deal if I buy the 5-speed tranny mounts??:rolleyes2:

I dont think we have 5 speed tranny bushings for your applications. To our knowledge it has been stated the cavalier ones are not the same?

[colonel6632]

I dont think we have 5 speed tranny bushings for your applications. To our knowledge it has been stated the cavalier ones are not the same?

they are they same except for the hole for the bolt. if you make it bigger, it fits our application. i think vic wrote that higher up

[Vic28]

I dont think we have 5 speed tranny bushings for your applications. To our knowledge it has been stated the cavalier ones are not the same?

Cavalier ones fit perfect for the bushing. I had the prothane ones that i bought from you guys year ago, but the rear one cracked too easy with the abuse. Only thing it needs a slightly bigger bore on the sleeves, it catches right on the threads. But I forgot the measurement. I can drill them (pain in the ass), unless you guys can make em and sell for the application

[Cliff8928]

Yeah, I'll go for one.. How about flat black with red bushing. I'm also interested in the trans mount bushings too.

[whitemexican]

1. Whitemexican - Polished w/ red bushing

I will post the paypal link to Aaron's account ASAP (when I get approval from Aaron)

[Vic28]

Good to hear. Patiently waiting lol

[TurboTechRacing]

We are just waiting to hear the test fit results from Matt. We cannot start building more until we know it fits :)

[Vic28]

Good to hear. thanks in advance for making this happen to us.

[whitemexican]

ITS DONE AND I MUST SAY IM F*&%ING HAPPY WITH THE WAY IT CAME OUT

I wrote a how-to and will post it tonight once i get off of work

And once again thanks TTR and Aaron for making this amazing product

THE REVIEW
Product - Amazing
Installment - Semi-easy (will require two ppl to help align the motor correctly)
Intallment Time - 1 hr or less
Motor - Barely any movement (other than the normal vibs, also motor will lift about half a inch)
Test Drive - also no vibrantion felt, also no wheel hop and thats what really suprised me (*note - I have Kyb strut mounts, GR2 struts w AG Springs, Vibrant Strut bar, Ploy Stab link bars, and Ploy control arm bushing & A frame ploy bushing*) Also car shifted alot better and drove alot smoother, at high speed shakes and vibrantions basically disappered.
Overall - One amazing product that is doing a fantastic job plus one happy a** mexican with a malibu :)


Ok guys im waiting for Aaron to e-mail me back (about posting the paypal link) and i will post the install tonight, cant wait till you guy get yours and you have them installed too :)

-MATT

[TurboTechRacing]

Just a note, this mount does not raise your motor any. It is the same height before and after the install of this product. Why it may appear higher? When you remove the stock mount, the engine slighly "falls", and when you install the new one, it appears to bring it up. However both mounts have the exact same install height. :)

Glad to see wheel hop is gone!

[heineck]

these will still be available after this group buy right?

well like i said in the e-mail i was shocked to find out my motor mount was bad so i guess that where i saw a big difference in motor position :)

[TurboTechRacing]

Yes that could very well be :) That stock mount was very worn out.

[TurboTechRacing]

these will still be available after this group buy right?

Yes, but the price maybe a bit higher

[Vic28]

woot woot... i want to use this on the track :P, gonna need the manual ones even if I have to drill them myself. waiting for paypal addy.

2010 Turbo Tech Racing N-Body Motor Mount How-To
*Special thanks to Aaron from TTR for the mount*

Vehicle: 2004 Chevrolet Malibu Classic

Tools you will need:
-A friend to help (will explain more in the install process)
-3/8 Ratchet
-3/8 Extension (One long one or two short ones)
-8mm wrench
-18mm socket
-15mm socket
-Jack (not in picture) **Will be used to lift motor**
-Piece of wood (incase your jack doesn’t go high enough)
-Car Ramps (not in picture....and if you don’t have car ramps you will need to jack up the front of your car with another jack)
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g100/WhiteMexican_HTR/InstallmentPics2010TTRL61MOTORMOUNT.jpg

Installment Time: 1 hour or so (depends on how long it takes you to align the motor)

Installment:
1. Drive vehicle up on ramps or raise front of vehicle
2. Disconnect Negative battery terminal (8mm wench)
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g100/WhiteMexican_HTR/InstallmentPics2010TTRL61MOTORMO-3.jpg

3. Locate the cruise control unit and disconnect the plug to the unit, now remove the cruise control unit by lifting up on the black clip at the top passenger side and pull the cruise control unit out and rest it on the valve cover out of the way, now push the black metal clip down to remove it so you have room to work on the mount.

http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g100/WhiteMexican_HTR/InstallmentPics2010TTRL61MOTORMO-7.jpg

4. Now go under the vehicle and place the jack under the transmission to support the motor and transmission
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g100/WhiteMexican_HTR/InstallmentPics2010TTRL61MOTORMO-2.jpg
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g100/WhiteMexican_HTR/InstallmentPics2010TTRL61MOTORMO-14.jpg

5. Grab your Ratchet, 3/8 extension, and 15mm socket and loosen up and remove the two nuts that are holding the motor mount to the body
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g100/WhiteMexican_HTR/InstallmentPics2010TTRL61MOTORMO-5.jpg

6. Switch the socket so that you now have the 18mm socket w/ your ratchet and 3/8 extension and loosen up the bolts that hold the mount to the motor and remove the bolts
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g100/WhiteMexican_HTR/InstallmentPics2010TTRL61MOTORMO-8.jpg

7. Pull the old motor mount out and replace with the new motor mount
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g100/WhiteMexican_HTR/InstallmentPics2010TTRL61MOTORMO-9.jpg
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g100/WhiteMexican_HTR/InstallmentPics2010TTRL61MOTORMO-10.jpg

8. Now screw down the two nuts that hold the motor mount to the body of the car
9. Now look at the bolt hole closest to the front of car and see if they line up with the motor hole. If not raise the jack that is holding the transmission so that the hole lines up and place the bolt in the hole, now tighten the bolt down and the mount and motor should align to where you can continue screwing the bolt in, now do not screw the bolt all the way down cause you will need to place the other bolt in before you can tight it up all the way,
10. Ok this is a check point right now ---- you should have the two nuts that go to the body tighten all the way down and the bolt closest to the front of the car about 80% all the way in, now look into the other bolt hole and see if the holes line up if not you will need your friend to slowly lower the jack as you watch to see if the hole lines up if its going the opposite way tell your friend to slowly raise the jack as you watch the hole (This process will take most of the time and be patient with this you do not want to strip your bolt or your block and the bolt that is in about 80% will be perfectly fine its just getting the other bolt lined up straight after you line the bolt up tighten the bolt down till it gets tight (about 25% in)(first hand tighten it then about 3-5 turns from ratchet) now you will have to tighten up the other bolt (the 80% one) all the way down and you will see the mount line up, now began tighten up the last bolt, you will get about 50% (4-5 turns from ratchet) in and the bolt will get tight like it doesn't want to go in anymore, but what you have to do is slowly raise the jack and you will then be able to tighten the bolt down about 75% (4-5 turns from ratchet) till it gets tight again now lower the jack slowly and tight the bolt till about 90% (5-7 turns from ratchet), now remove the jack from under the transmission and tighten up the bolt the rest of the way.
11. Now go over both bolts and make sure they are tighten all the way down you should be able to tighten up the one closest to the front a little and also go over the two nuts that mount the mount to the body (Torque specs: Two grunts and a fart)
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g100/WhiteMexican_HTR/InstallmentPics2010TTRL61MOTORMO-18.jpg

12. Now replace the black metal clip and place the cruise control unit in the black clip and secure the black clip by latching it to the top, also reconnect the plug to the cruise control unit
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g100/WhiteMexican_HTR/InstallmentPics2010TTRL61MOTORMO-19.jpg

13. Reconnect the negative battery terminal (8mm wench)
14. Lower vehicle from jack or ramps and enjoy your new polyurethane motor mount.:yahoo:

2 left to get the clock started :)

[Vic28]

question, didnt whitemexican already pay??If so isnt only 1 more to pay, apart from colonel paying in full.

[TurboTechRacing]

That was a proto type, and is not on the actual production run. We would hope we could get 5 in the actual production run as that still is not very many...

[whitemexican]

so i got to buy another?

[Vic28]

You shouldnt cause thats not right.. unless you actually need the extra mount. The 5 people list was made including yourself in it, so I dont see how thats logical. I guess we gonna have to try to get another buyer.

[Cliff8928]

Sorry I didn't get this sooner. I'm on vacation and must've missed this thread last time I checked.

ONCE YOU PAY, fill in on a line below, with your user name and the mount color and the bushing color.

Example: whitemexican/Polished mount/Red Bushing
1. Vic28/Polished mount/Red Bushing - paid $164.99
2. Malibu369258/Polished mount/Red Bushing - paid $164.99
3. Colonel6632 /Polished Mount/Red Bushing - Not Paid Fully - $100 cad
4. Cliff8928 / Flat Black / Red Bushing / Paid $164.99
5.

[brheller]

I'll join in the fun.

[TurboTechRacing]

We got 5. Thanks, please add your name to the list and pay, ASAP if you want one.

Members that order late, will not get their mount the same time as others, so you must order ASAP, to get in on the low price and first production run.

[whitemexican]

yeah this really threw me off but im glad we got 5 now

[TurboTechRacing]

We got 5, and we will get this going.

Does anyone know of any Grand AM forums members maybe interested in this product? Please let them know.

[whitemexican]

I posted this on gaownersclub.com but i only got one hit but the guy thought 149.99 was too pricey so he opted out i also have this on malibuclub.ca and unitedmalibus.com but no hits on the mounts

[TurboTechRacing]

Must not be into performance... Grand AM's I would have thought would be very interested!

[AbHeLlRaZoR]

I'd be in on it if I didn't decide to sell my car.

[Vic28]

so much for being the "first one" with this idea. goodluck with your sale.

[whitemexican]

bump (anybody get theres yet?)

[TurboTechRacing]

About 2 weeks left, parts are being routed now...

It was 3 weeks, once we got 5 orders, which was about a week ago :)

[Vic28]

Just ordered my 5-speed tranny mounts, too bad I didnt get a package deal lol. Anywayz this time Ill take pics and prove that they work from a cavalier, and get the measurement for the sleeve.

http://www.turbotechracing.com/productcart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=4915

I need my mounts before July 9th hopefully, track day rental:yahoo: .

[colonel6632]

1. Vic28/Polished mount/Red Bushing - paid $164.99
2. Malibu369258/Polished mount/Red Bushing - paid $164.99

[TurboTechRacing]

Yup it is. The laser parts are all cut, and formed. They need to be welded/powder coated/assembled/boxed.

They should be shipping this next week sometime :)

[Vic28]

I fear I wont get it on time :(

[colonel6632]

thanks for accepting my payment , i can't wait to get this

[TurboTechRacing]

Our "plan" is to have these 5 shipped by the end of this week....

[whitemexican]

Just tuning in with a update "I LOVE MY NEW MOTOR MOUNT" cant wait for you guys to get yours :)

[Vic28]

Can i borrow yours than lol.. Kuz im obviously not gettin mine on time..

[TurboTechRacing]

Can i borrow yours than lol.. Kuz im obviously not gettin mine on time..

Wow... We got 5 orders late in the day of 6-18-10 Friday. We clearly stated it would take 3 weeks to ship from this date. 3 weeks is tomorrow/Friday, in which they will be shipping Friday/Monday, so worse case we were only 1 day off... or right on time. Depends if we can get them all assembled.

[Vic28]

I didnt mean time from your 3 weeks schedule, I was talking in reference to my wish for the track day which is tomorrow. Im sure we all are very happy as your company doing this for us, and there is no doubt about that.

Thanks for the clarification, looks like we took it the wrong way... I appologize for that.

[colonel6632]

wooot! these are probably in the mail!

[Vic28]

Any update??

[TurboTechRacing]

Guys.... I have to appologize. Last week Friday the parts came in, the coating was TERRABLE, and I would not let them go out... I had production re make them complete and get them done ASAP... Well they got them done and assembled, but fed ex picked up 2 hours ago, they will be going out tomorrow.

thanks for the update, looking forward to have this installed soon :)

[Cliff8928]

How were those shipping labels generated? The tracking number doesn't come up at all.

[colonel6632]

my number works i believe

[TurboTechRacing]

As stated they shipped today. Printed yesterday, but until they get to the depot 60 miles away, they dont show up online yet. They will show active (all of them) within 3 hours from now :)

[Vic28]

friday its gonna be here :)

[Cliff8928]

Crazy, mine show up right away when I ship fedex. Either way it shows up now. It's just going to sit in the box for at least a couple months anyways.

[Cliff8928]

http://home.comcast.net/~cliff_scott/mount/side.jpg

Looks great.

[colonel6632]

mines still in chicago....

[whitemexican]

http://home.comcast.net/~cliff_scott/mount/top.jpg

http://home.comcast.net/~cliff_scott/mount/side.jpg

Looks great.

Damn that looks nice man, so when you gonna install it???

[TurboTechRacing]

I really like the flat black look, it is so nice!

[Malibu369258]

Mine came in today... Looks good, although the welds could be more uniform and cleaned up. Noticed weld spatter that was coated with paint...

Hate to be honest, but I have to look at welds all day at work.

[Vic28]

I havent recieve mine but freakin Fed EX change the date... not like I can install it right away anywayz. Question, the bushing is replaceable correct if so whats the price for that, just incase I abuse it.

[Malibu369258]

I havent recieve mine but freakin Fed EX change the date...

Fed Ex changed my delivery date to July 27th this morning... even though it said it was out for delivery. Still got it, that's all that matters ;)

Although it's prob too late at your house for them to deliver now

[NoSweat83]

Interested in mount 5. I believe it fits all n-body's right?

[Cliff8928]

Damn that looks nice man, so when you gonna install it???

Probably in like 2 months when I go pick up the car.

I really like the flat black look, it is so nice!

Yeah, I wanted that "almost looks like it could've been stock" look.

Interested in mount 5. I believe it fits all n-body's right?

Nope, Just the Ecotec as far as I know. The Wot-Tech one will fit your 2.4.

[NoSweat83]

Well I have the Wot-Tech for my upper mount. Im looking for the trans mount in the driver side wheel-well.

[Cliff8928]

That mount is for the same location where you have the Wot-Tech mount.

[NoSweat83]

This is the mount Im talking about. I know that the 3.4 has this as well.

[Vic28]

Im sure Cliff got confused cause it doesnt really apply to his car. Number 5 is a tranny mount for AUTO trannies only, and yeah all three engines has it. Im surprice more ppl wasnt insterested on that one, since its a broad market selection not just ECOTEC.

On another note who else has install their mount, I did and have slight problem with the bolt hitting the chassis, so you can hear all the engine noise transfer thru it.

[NoSweat83]

Well anyone know if we can try for it again?

It was more like I skimmed over the "#5" part. I think my #5 mount is done for (which looks more like the stock 2.4/3400 motor mount) but the dealer says nothing is wrong and won't cover it under warranty. After a few more times they might though.


Won't know anything about how this fits for a few months. Don't have the Alero here right now. But you can expect more vibration in general just because it's significantly more solid than the craptastic factory mount.

[Vic28]

I dont my mind vibration, but when the bolt is touching you get the whole rattle. It kinda simple, im gonna try to cut it a lil, just wondering if anyone else on the same boat.

[whitemexican]

can you take a pic of it

[whitemexican]

Well anyone know if we can try for it again?

i can e-mail TTR and see if they want to put one in the works, but we will have to see who would be in for one of those mounts, cause i am still wanting to get one made, but i will find out and hopefully we can get alot more ppl in on the transmission mount

which if im not mistake will fit the auto trans from the grand am, alero, malibu or any engine size also it might fit the impalas but i have to check cause i know some have the same series transmission

[Vic28]

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d155/R3NEG4DE/013.jpg

Here is what yours looks like, only picture where I was able to see the nut to certain angle. To me it looks like it doesnt stick out much(bolt thru nut) but it can be the angle of the picture.

[colonel6632]

looks nice, did you notice any improvement in wheel hop or anything?

is it gonna be much different noise/feel for my dd

[whitemexican]

strange your bolt does look long a bit

[Cliff8928]

Mine looks the same.

[NoSweat83]

Mine looks the same.
Mount 5 or the one you ordered?

[Cliff8928]

Mount 5 or the one you ordered?

The one i just got, with the threads sticking out the end.

Man, quit confusing this. :p

[NoSweat83]

Sorry dude. lol

[colonel6632]

I Got My Mount Omfg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Vic28]

Install it and let me know how it goes.

[colonel6632]

how did yours go, did you notice any difference, i get insane amounts of wheel hop with these tires

[Vic28]

It feals more firm, I havent try launching hard cause my tranny its acting up, but second gear those stay spinning instead of kinda buggin like before. Im having issue where the bolt its touching the chassi and its rattling, yours dont do that?? One single mount wont take all the wheel hop. Also wheel hop comes from the bushings on the control arm, kuz they kinda soft and old.

[colonel6632]

my driver control arm is brand spankin new. just put it in a few months ago when i did my ball joint. but the other side is old

still havent had time to install it

[colonel6632]

so, did anyone have this with their mount.

i can actually see the metal ring behind the rubber. should i install it anyways?

[TurboTechRacing]

That must be from pressing in the bushings. It will cause no side effects (in performance or durability) it is strickly a visual thing.

If your bolt is slightly long (that has then nut on it) you can grind/sand it down a bit, to allow for extra clearance.

We have more available, anyone who would like one, please PM me ASAP.

:yahoo:

[Vic28]

:) I been putting the word out there... fobmaster on ecotecforum might be looking at it. Thanks again TTR.

[brheller]

Finally installed mine last night. Only difference from the write up listed here, when installing I torqued the motor side bolts first, then dropped the jack and torqued the frame side nuts. Not difficult at all. Little more vibration at idle, but noticed improvement in sloppiness when shitting. My old mount was shot. Thanks for making this mount available!

[TurboTechRacing]

Thanks for the great review!

[TurboTechRacing]

2 more shipping this week, order soon!

[colonel6632]

we need the tranny mounts so badly now. vic says they are really similiar to the cavilier... any chance you can look into it.

my tranny mounts are destroyed

It is poly, so a sharpe knife will shape it anyway you would like ;)

[colonel6632]

Its the bushing insert that's the wrong size. If you want I can send dimensions and such to make them fit correctly

[TurboTechRacing]

Its the bushing insert that's the wrong size. If you want I can send dimensions and such to make them fit correctly

Post the required diameter, and width of the bushing.

Along with the "bore" bolt diameter hole size needed. We will evaluate.

[colonel6632]

Well as soon as they're shipped.
Wink wink.


But ya. My payment should clear in a week or so. And I got express shipped so about two weeks.

[TurboTechRacing]

Shipped today! As payment JUST cleared.

[AbHeLlRaZoR]

I ordered mine Today :) was going to order some more goodies too but my CC didn't stop a payment like I asked them to.

[whitemexican]

did only the upper mounts get made

yes only the upper never got around to getting the side tranny mount but someone needs to make one for us i might come back to TTR to make another mount

[colonel6632]

abhellrazor i thought you were done with the alero scene.

im still rocking the motor mount, i also installed the tranny mounts. shes good and stiff now

[jlong]

I just placed an order for 1. Can't wait to get it in.

[colonel6632]

if you want it to be stiff, order the transmission mounts. i recommend all 3

[jlong]

Where can I the transmission mounts? Performance or upgraded stock mounts.

[jlong]

Got the motor mount installed. I love it, it's one of the best upgrades I have made. Well it's only the second upgrade, first was a drop in K&N air filter. My stock mount was trash. It was sagging about 1". It only took about 15 min to install the new one.

I can't seam to find any performance transmission mounts so I am going to fill the mounts with polyurethane window sealant I picked up from Lowes for about $5.

[colonel6632]

http://www.turbotechracing.com/productcart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=4915&idcategory=495

Those are the ones i got for mine. but i wasnt sure if you had a 5 speed or auto, sorry

[jlong]

I have the auto.

[AbHeLlRaZoR]

abhellrazor i thought you were done with the alero scene.


I couldn't sell it so I figure I'll keep it around, it's not a priority but I couldn't say no to the Price TTR had on the mount, Props to them for great service.

[whitemexican]

Props on TTR for making the upper mount
