Group on New Custom Urethane Ka and SR Engine mounts

[drift freaq]

drift freaq custom urethane engine mounts!!
This is our first run of our own Custom line of Race/Drift Urethane engine mounts. Fabricated to bring you improved throttle response and high horsepower durability.
These Mounts are made of High quality High grade urethane (not the kind of stuff you get in tubes at Home Depot).
Quality constructed right here in the U.S. Not imported.

OK folks the test marketing pricing has been over for awhile. If you read through the thread you will see that but I am posting here as well.
The current shipped price for a set of mounts $130
Feedback from people who do this group buy will be appreciated so we can develop more applications. thank you

how much vibration is felt inside the car? are they rock solid?

[Frappe]

Is this just engine mounts, or is there a tranny mount as well? It looks a lot simpler/less substantial than, say, the cusco mounts. Can you give a comparison?

[kandyflip445]

Group buy end date?

[drift freaq]

I will try to answer all three questions here. First off they have been tested on a track car and there was some vibration though nothing more than what you get off polyurethane in your suspension, i.e. nothing substantial. On a street car with interior I am sure it would be less.
They are very solid in that your shift lever will not rock back and forth like stock mounts and yes they are beefier than Nismo mounts in strength.
These are the real deal capable of handling over 500 HP. They are simple yet very strong and light that was our goal.
Similiar mounts are going in my S13 RB25 car in case your wondering about them. I cannot directly compare them to the Cusco cause I have never used the Cusco. I have seen the Cusco and I feel what we have designed is more than appropriate for our cars. Like I said they have been tested on a track car and the results where quite favorable in my opinion.
They have proven quite durable.
At the current time we have developed the engine mounts and have not done the the tranny mount yet. We have been discussing it and if there is enough feedback and commitment for it, we will go and do it.
This Group buy has a current mininum length of two weeks right now. I.E. we would like to see 15 people commit in the Next couple of weeks . I do not think you will be sorry on these but they are for the serious drivers.
I hope I have answered everyones questions.
peaceout Dave

How do you know that they are "beefier in strength" than the Nismo mounts? Have you compared both materials and grades side by side?
And the "over 500hp" business? I don't know where else these have been tested because you have not told us, but from the looks of it, they are shown on an N/A SR20DE, which may or may not be turning out over 500hp, who knows?
Not trying to be a skeptic at all, please don't misunderstand my post. Just trying to figure out what real advantages these have over the tried and true Nismo mounts. Price definately isn't an increadibly noticeable difference if you factor in the trans mount that Nismo includes for under $200 shipped.

For those of us who have something to lose here, there needs to be a greater selling point than neon yellow, non-brand (or not mentioned), "heavy duty" motor mounts. I realize the favor you're trying to do us Zilvian's by offering some sort of alternative, and I appreciate it, I do. So as far as buyer feedback goes for this post:
-need color options (or some detail about the price differences between other colors)
-need some more construction information, real evidence.
-need pricing on the eventual option of a transmission mount. A lot of use like to plan ahead, and use a matching set of mounts all around. Even if it won't be available for another few months.
-oh, and get some bigger pics please!

Hope everything goes well with the group buy, I'll be twidling my thumbs till you need a 15th person

Ben do you know engineering? CAn you run engineering numbers. I have had numbers run on these mounts the only reason I did not mention them is I did not want to get super technical in the post for the sake of the non tech people.
These have a durometer rating that is equal to 9000lb tensile strength!!!!
Yes the car they are pictured on is a NAsr20de with ITB's . It was taken for the purpose of showing the mounts. The mounts have been run on track cars . i.e. race cars. Did you notice the nitrous kit? on that NAsr with ITB's car has not been dynoed but is estimated in th high 300's horsepower wise.!!!!!!
Again I will state this is a special test market product and price. As I stated earlier the color is not written in stone . this is the first batch and they are in this color pricing will be based on final costs. I can gurantee these will be better priced than the Nismo's.

As a matter of fact, I am an engineer. I guess that why I'm so curious. Thank you for replying to my post. Sorry if i came across as n asshole, just asking questions and trying to give you feedback.

I can get you the nismo tranny mount .

[blk240sx]

after some thought i have decied that without the tranny mount this is not a good investment .... so i am leaning towards the Nismo mounts...i mean what am i supposed to do till you make one....however if you get arround to making a tranny mount and there is a black somewhere in the color selection, before my motor arrives, i will buy yours.......GET ON THE TRANNY MOUNT !

I second that.

ok here is the deal people. the first run is Yellow, there is no way around that! We will have black ones coming in a few weeks, if you want them now, Yellow is how they are going to be!

Yellow ones are priced as follows $85 per set
Black ones will be $100 per set
you want the better price you will have to get yellows.
As far as transmission mounts go, they are not nearly as straight forward to manufacture as the engine mounts. If you got underneath your car and looked at your trans mount, you would see, how complicated they really are, in the manufacturing process.
Not that we are not going to try and go there,but its just not as easy a process, to the point, that we can say, oh snap, here we just made the transmission mounts.
In the interim, what I can do, is offer you the Nismo trans mount with the motor mounts for $40 more. do the math that works out to $125 for a set of motor mounts with Nismo trans mount for yellow and $140 a set for blacks.

[OCIS]

Do you have them in stock or will these be made to order? Are they taller than the nismo mounts?

these are in production right now they will be ready in two weeks.
they are the same height as stock.

[usdms14]

put me down for a set

[S13 Charlie]

Damn D, where were these 3 weeks ago when I bought my nismo's! I would totally have gone for these. They look really stout and I bet they're way easier to install than stock mounts, since they're nowhere near as bulky. Definitely making use of the K.I.S.S. principle. Bump for Drift Freaq!


For those who haven't heard the term, K.I.S.S is short for "Keep it simple, stupid".

disclaimer: I'm in no way implying that drift freaq and company are stupid, that's how the saying goes, and it refers to nice, clean, straightforward design. Good stuff..

[Projekt_Sil80]

I'm down for a set, I want to try something else besides my Nismo ones
