Lol the way we're talking about this whole motor thing its like the z6 already blew. I wouldn't worry too much about motors, because with everything you've done it sounds like it'll last a while.

 

just installed the new lower left motor mount

new:

 

Oh **** was it broken like that on the car?! Or did it bust takin' it off?

 

I had to take it off when I replaced my drive belts about a month or two ago, and it just crumbled in my hands when I took it off.

Luckily, this is the lower left one (the one on the A/C bracket, by the crank pulley), and it's not one of the more important ones so I was able to put it off. Also, it was only like $23.

 

I took out the rear half of my interior today because my subwoofers were causing rattling. I secured some wires better than they were and also a drain tube from the trunk to the wheel well was off its clip and rattling, so I reattached it to its clip. Also, another drain tube that goes from the trunk lid area and drains above the gas tank came out of its hole, so water must have been draining straight into the interior! Fixed that too, and put all the interior pieces back in and secured them better than ever. No more rattling.

I'm waiting on the crank pulley tool and VHT niteshades and I'll take some more pics when I get that stuff done.


Minor setback though, I need to replace my alternator, the bearing went out.

 

CRASH MOUNT! mine looked like that...pic
So then i filled it with 3m window weld which led to this
Thumbup for ghetto riggin

 

hahaa good work on the mount. right now im thinking about solid mounts for the ef, lol

btw trustd nice project i always forget to come and look at progress, i just wish the del sol was rwd it would be such a badass car. but yours is sick, im impressed with the mod list good work keep it up.

 

lol, yea that's pretty ghetto
whatever works though

 

haha for all intents and purposes...its the same as a new mount with urethane inserts. 3m window weld is a polyurethane...just not as pretty

 

Does filling the insulator like you did increase or smooth out general engine vibration felt at the steering wheel and inside the car?

I also see oil on the original repaired mount. Is your power steering pump leaking?
