are the DC5R mounts a little stronger than the EP3? i can only imagine how long mine are going to take to break :(
16-04-2009, 05:17 PM
Poeter

are the mounts that bad??

I would think if you abuse your car then I'm not surprising that the mounts are dying.

But not for normal driving right?? Otherwise, it's worse than I would had thought.

I think one or more people on this thread somewhere has bought mugen/spoon mounts. I wonder if they are proven to be better.

Its normal wear and tear for the mounts but I've heard if they get abused over time they will break.
17-04-2009, 10:22 AM
Philip Lee

how to know if they're broken?

thanks
17-04-2009, 10:33 AM
Mugen_B16B

alot of vibration, creaking when u turn ur steering wheel cause the mounts arent stiff anymore to hold the motor down properly, when ever i rev more then 5k i shift then i get a knock on the firewall due to the motor hitting it cause the mounts

im sure others have issue that are different
17-04-2009, 10:35 AM
Mugen_B16B

oh and the hydrolic mount seal actually rips or tears and oil squirts everywhere
17-04-2009, 10:49 AM

does sound like a pretty sight. i guess my mounts are still holding up then.

while we're on the topic of mounts - has anyone had a mount break on a FL model?
17-04-2009, 12:30 PM

dont forget u can damage your headers with soft/broken shi77y mounts...
17-04-2009, 01:02 PM

I know my front will go soon coz it looks like it was cracking a little before i pick up the car.
17-04-2009, 01:28 PM
Mugen_B16B

i should take a pic and show u guys what im talking bout

everytime i go over a speed bump it pops out of place and back in once im off the bump, doesnt make a pretty sound aswell lol
17-04-2009, 02:05 PM
Philip Lee

so Mugen, where did you buy your mounts again?
17-04-2009, 02:10 PM
rpm boy

So would a torque dampner be a good investment? just the prolong the life of the stock ones?

it helps stop the engine rocking backwards and forwards but because it connects to the side mount it would add more stress to that mount.

Mugen, you said that you once replaced the mounts with the DC5R's ones. Did you change the whole lot?

if it was, then that means that DC5R has this problem as well and needs to change the mounts often.

dc5's have this problem as well...

Main problem with the mounts is actually the rear and passenger side. They passenger side one is the weakest, therefore putting alot of pressure on the oil filled drivers side.

I have some 62a ones and hated the vibrations. So I recently reinstalled stock one filled with urathane and is performing very well.

Many might say its dodgy but It has held up very well with a few hard launches at the drags. Trick is to fill them properly and give it time to cure!

Each to their own, but I just couldnt stand the vibration. Rather feel the loud exhaust ;)

The engine bay seems rather dirty.

95% Same. You need to use DC5 tie rod ends as the EP3 ones are smaller and shave about 4-5mm off the rear lower eyelet to fit!

Whats wrong with your aragosta ones??

Thx mate.

but if someone with DC5, he can use it straight away of the EP3's one, yeah?

nothing wrong, I just want one with the camber adjustment at the top LOL

funny to say i put 1 mount in and it sounds like a got an exhaust system on now, shifting also feels alot more smooth and can feel it being more responsive

To fit DC5 you need, to use some washers up the back eyelet and use EP3 tie rods up front or......grind out the tie rod end hole to fit DC5 ones.!
