My past cars have always had upgrades to engine mounts, tranny mounts, pitch stop mount, etc. This car will be no exception. I didnt like the price of the Hasport Rear Motor Mount/BeatRush Front Engine Roll Stop, so I decided to go the DIY path.

Pouring the liquid is insanely easy, plenty of youtube vids on how to do it. Biggest thing to remember is, keep the mount level and do a good job taping or else you'll leak everywhere.











For those who care, I went with the 80A High Performance Durometer:

DIY Liquid Urethane Engine and Motor Mount Inserts

 

Posting this, so I can view later:












Please note, the liquid takes 5 days to cure under normal temps. I have no way of keeping the mount at 150 degrees F, otherwise it would cure in just 24 hours

 

Thanks for the reminder that I need to do this before I NEED to do this. Nicely done!

 

Finally got around to installing that darn Torque Rod. Per a few posts ago ... followed the repair manual and torqued the bolts to 61lb and 69lbs and in the order specified. One thing they dont mention is, the new Torque Rod going in, may not align right up on first try .... but its not hard at all, to use 1 hand and simply nudge the motor in the direction you need it to move

Impressions ..... this is a MUST DO. For those of you on the fence.... DO IT NOW and stop thinking about it. The car "feels" faster. Down shifts feel more crisp, the car over all exhibits less slop and wobble, the car feels more "sporty". NVH slightly increased .... like during idle and when AC is on .... but it is most definitely worth it!







I am considering taking my OEM Torque Rod and torching out ALL of the rubber, and doing a full re fill using the hard liquid urethane stuff. Example:

 

UPDATE:


Vtec must have kicked in ...

I didn't realize the L15B1 was such a torque monster!

 

What is the other one in the pic. I see the one you filled. and then another one that is not filled. But they're not exactly the same. From a different Fit???

 

one is oem, one is aftermarket (the busted one)

 

So, you urethane filled an aftermarket one? I also thought mine was ribbed on the side (for pleasure)... BTdubbs and not to hijack, I am going to try some wrapping this weekend (no microphone), so HMu on google hangouts with any advice. cheers, d

 

So when it snapped/broke, did the car become Lexus-like in the NVH department?

What have you got planned next?

 

it was loud a clangy. thankful it broke close to home.... so i was able to drive slow

what's next?

 

oooh, shiny!
