Ill have epics tomorrow for everyone but here is the story. I pulled my motor and transmission out of my sc300, 1jz with a 5-speed, and put ti back together. Well the stock fluid filled mounts were in bad shape, (1) broke. I had to be able to get to work this week unless my new mounts arrive.

I am getting Ultra sports polyurethane mounts for a 89-92 Supra turbo. They will fit our SC300 with a 1jz swap with the short brackets. I got the dimensions from the manufacturer and went to Walmart bought (2) rubber mallets but them to 2 7/8, cut the handle off and drilled a hole through the center and bought 7/16 course rod, two larger washers, and locking nuts. They have been on my car for 5 days now. it is running great

I didn't want to post it mainly because I know there will be a large amount of member *****ing, bu trust me I don't do janky* things to my car, but I needed to get to work this entire week because I worked farther and I had no transportation.

Also the steel threaded rod is a once piece design which improves the integer of the rubber mount with engine twist and pull.


Cheers

 

Lol. I want to see pictures.

 

LOL I would never do this type of stuff to my car but I have a friend who used 3 hockey pucks on each side for his mounts. Just drilled a hole right thru them and bolted them on. I thought he was FACKING CRAZY!!! He has had them on his car for over a year and they have not shown any wear on them at all. LOL it's crazy but if it works then more power to ya

 

NiiiiCE!
ilike your attitude

 

^^^^lol i guess Mc GRUBER is a member here i wanna see pics

 

Sounds sweet. Is it smooth?

 

Quite a lot of people use hockey pucks as motor mounts on the 240 forums

 

that is brilliant!

 

Thats too funny. Good job! Hey when your in a bind & you can use something else that is not formal, but gets the job done. Then by all means. I once needed some metal to build a MAF adapter for my SC, & on sunday's theres no places to get any metal. So I went to home depot & bought a floor scrapper. The big one with the shovel handle on it. Cut the scrapper off with a jig saw just to use the square pcs of metal. HAHA.

 

Whatever gets you to work is OK in my book. Hopefully it all holds up well.

 

Seriously. You gotta pay for real mounts somehow!

 

Here's a pic. The good news is, they're holding up. Also I ordered mounts today they should be here next week

 

At a loss for words

 

Not bad brother! Better than putting duct tape on shattered windows I would say!

 

thats good thinking. i wouldn't expect it to last forever but for an emergency fix, you could not do better imo.
