Default RS engine mounts on a Carrera T?

Anyone swap out the stock engine mounts for something stiffer on a Carrera T?

The Magician aka Alex C may chime in, as this was debated a few months ago and he brought the knowledge.

T already has static mounts, vice PADM (i.e. SC-lite; thankfully as PADM =drama IMO and experience), so below prove helpful in your hunt:



Ultimately, the static are great for me as they are, and stopped looking up part numbers, etc. for changes. Might already be the same parts, as I'm not sure if P makes several iterations of the static mounts at this point.

Good luck!

Just reread this on the GT3 sub earlier today. Some ideas...

Does this mean you have abandoned the GT3 idea? Ran RS mounts on my 964's for years, had not considered it on the T.

Great detail. Thanks!

An expensive road to turn onto!

Great write-up! I wonder if anything was changed in the 991.2 GT3?


Thank you. BEAUTIFUL.

Ha! No, just look at different options. A 987.2 Spyder buddy just upgraded his motor mounts and it transformed the car into to what he claims is GT territory. So I got to thinking about a $1000 motor mount upgrade to the T V.s. a $100,000 upgrade to a 991.2 GT3.

I installed the Rennline mounts about 1 month after I got my car, didn't like the feel of the OEM jello mounts..
Day / night difference. The OEM mounts are extremely soft. Slightly more overall NVH, More mechanical engine noise in the cabin, a slight gear whine in the cabin ( I love this ) The drive line feels super solid and tight even when shifting hard at high RPM, my car is a manual. These are not for everybody, if you are a cruiser I would keep OEM if you are a ripper this is a worthy mod.

BAMM! How did you decide to choose the Yellow over the Red or Blue washers?

Once I had the two mounts side by side I realized just how sloppy ans soft the OEM mount is. I decided on yellow as it is the softest in the RennLine range but many times stiffer than stock. I dont feel the need to go any stiffer, will keep the yellow in...

Would there be added benefits/efficiencies going to the Rennline engine mounts if you have a PDK? Seems like lots of rave reviews are coming from folks with MT’s,.

A buddy of mine in our local "Spyder Group" just put in new, race-like, engine mounts in his PDK 987.2 Spyder and apparently completely transformed the car. So my immediate answer, with no direct experience with a PDK 991 would be a big YES.

Ha! Fantastic. The local coastal mountains, all of early Eocene volcanic origin and part of the Coastal Range Arc, are filled with seemingly endless ribbons of roads. If you ever get up this way give me a shout. I love taking visitors for rips up in them. And if you time it right, there's no one on them. Pure bliss.

Ps. And to be honest, the roads are so good that I have really not gotten bitten by the track bug, even though there are multiple excellent motorsport tracks within 3-5 hour drives.
