SR motor 'suddenly' off center

[Jersthecool]

Your crossmember is fucked because you bent it and those mounts are awesome btw have the green ones on my car and they're perfect. Were you even using anything heat resistant on them?

bought them. the design is just really poor, and just cracked after 10 events or so.

yea, i feel like its cosmetic, but its my main suspect, its hard to see if its tweaked beyond just cosmetics; im working on getting another, as ive ruled out most other things. its just too coincidental that the 'cosmetic' damage is on the side that would, if tweaked, make the motor do what its doing.

Other then my engine and transmission mounts then.
Picture of the mounts i got: http://www10.pic-upload.de/09.09.12/wdxjqq52fuco.jpg

Uhhh... Those are 240s right? Do your research before you call someone out on something.

not sure what that picture is suppose to prove, but i was wrong in that he has never seen a 240, i got him mixed up with another duder.

but it doesnt change that they are crappy, and the design is poor. and im not the only one to have this happen, not even close.

CA18 mounts are different. If you use SR mounts it will sit weird.

yea im thinking the xmember might be the issue, its hard to tell if the damage is beyond cosmetic, buts its just too coincidental.

do i need to learn how to make the ground farther from the bottom of my car? i dont park this in a garage i drive it and crash into things and do stuff... and not every track is a glass surface.

You are trying to say that the mounts broke and the crossmember bent? Ah that is a big stretch.

Oh and did you have a heat shield on them or heat wrap? Like I tell everyone who buys them to do? If you did not than ya failure can happen because Turbos get damn hot. Even stock mounts without heat shields can melt from Turbo heat. That is why the factory puts a heat shield even on non turbo engines.

Second off, Those are Yellows which are at least 2 years old. I don't even make those anymore.
Now I know you say it just happened at an event, but you know what I warranty my mounts.
They have a limited manufacturers warranty against workmanship defects. Now obviously you have been tracking and drifting your car for awhile on them. No manufacturer warranties a product for track use due to the fact that other circumstances can cause failure. Here it clearly looks like that.




Did you even buy them from me. If so It would have been over year ago at the latest. Plus you did not even contact me before posting.

You do not know or know how many 240's I have owned and own and the fact that indeed I have driven my car with my mounts.
You make some pretty slanderous accusations here.

I am sorry but I will say it again mount failure will not bend a crossmember that takes an accident at some time and judging from your pics your crossmember has been been for awhile as there is surface rust. That could easily alter the situation especially if your trans mount had failed which you claimed it did.

naw, never flown off track, but i have bottemed out plenty, but that is common enough.

im not saying that they broke the crossmember... im saying they broke, period. im sure that something went wrong and they broke, but i was just unimpressed with the quality of the material and design. if i had stock mounts they would not have broken.

i had them heat wrapped, you can see it in the picture. i also have a heat shield on my turbo.

i bought the mounts after someone bought them from you, and one broke at the first event, then you replaced it, so they were new when i got them. its was 1 year agoish.
i understand, its a track product and whatever. but they only need to hold a motor, and unless im flying head first into a wall, they should hold just fine.
i didnt contact you because it doesnt matter, im not posting in your review thread, leaving neg rep or whatever dumb shit i can do; im just giving my opinion that they were not good, and moving on. thread is about why my pile of shit is being extra shitty.

i was totally wrong about you never seen a 240, that was another person, apparently, i just got my gossip mixed. i do apologize for that.

but i still thing the design is poor, and the materials are mediocore. but i dont care, its whatever.

again, not saying it was the mounts failing that damaged my corssmember, the mount failure was caused by something, which in turn, probably caused the tranny bolts to shear.
but i still think they are designed poorly. regardless of how many bros claim they are the shit and make them drift hella hard sick.
