Ghetto Mod Idea!

Has anyone on this board modified their engine mounts using 'Hockey Pucks', instead of buying the AWR engine mounts?

If so, any advice?

I heard that you can fit a hockey puck (with some modifications of course) in the bushing area of your engine mounts. It's a hard material, so technically it will be good as a AWR engine mount, but costs way less.

Thanks in advance

Motor mounts hold the engine in place. Check the above link for some pros/cons put together by WeSleepTheyLive.

Yall will wan to see this thread I made regarding an alternative to the soft, WEAK stock motor mounts. The trade-off for some stiffer mounts that transmit power to the ground by keeping your engine from jerking is more vibration.
