That was about 15 years ago now. I recall Ford, probably the Tempo mounts.

I had the lindsey semi solids on my 944S, more vibration at idle but great everywhere else. The car smoothed out some after it warmed up, but when cold..... I'd do them again for a car that saw the track or made big power.

Hi Folks what the latest with engine mounts? I have an S2 race car that I have just urethaned up the transaxle mount at the back and am going to do the engine mounts, the RH of which appears to be stuffed. I want to keep it reliable rather than an all out racer with increased maintenance. The Rein mounts are still NLA?
I could go rubber solid with a race car I guess as the KM it sees are not huge, and not too worried about doing them every 2 years of so.

Thoughts?

I'm also interested in the latest ideas on motor mounts, if things have changed. Specifically for racing applications.

The Porsche OE 944 engine mount contract keeps changing. It was Rein for a while, and then it was Corteco a year or two ago (I got a pair of OE Corteco mounts a couple of years ago from one of my wholesale suppliers). Now the same supplier only has Genuine Porsche mounts or Uro brand (which are crap). I'll update if I catch wind of the latest change . . . .

I know they are expensive, but if anyone is looking for long-lasting engine mounts for a street car, bite the bullet and get the Genuine ones. Any of the solid rubber aftermarket ones will fail in a year or two, guaranteed!

New OE/Genuine engine mounts and a urethene-filled factory trans mount are a great combination for a street/track car. I'd probably do the Lindsey ones for an all-out race car and lower the engine.
