free motor mount mods....goodbye wheelhop!

[Tallen]

i basically found a vfaq and a info file from RRE and combined them.

first:

basically fill your front and rear motor mount gaps with a hard plastic.


then:

fill the rest in with silicon then bake in the oven at 150-200 degrees for an hour while keeping a close eye on it.
i am FWD, and holy mother of god. i have only got done with the front and wow. whats wheel hop again? cause i cant remember.

yes i can still get it, but it takes a heck of alot more. just thought i'd include this here because i have not seen this done alot.

i didn use windo weld as RRE says, instead i used this McKanica Black Silicon Sealant from pep boys.

enjoy!

I am in the process of doing the same thing with windo weld..
Is it really safe to bake it in the oven to get this stuff to dry quicker ?

I have not used this myself but i have nothing but good things about the window weld material. I don't know if baking is safe but a lot have done it. I would assume there would be a horrible smell.

I went with the energy suspension insert and they work well for me. I didn't feel like a mess and having to wait for it to dry.

I have prothane motor mounts, but I still get mad wheel hop. Any suggestions?
