installed solid mount....

so i have been running solid ttr tranny mounts for a whle now, and now i just got around to installing the ZZP solid engine mount, and ****...crap that didnt vibrate before vibrates now, i went and dampened everything that the solid tranny mounts caused to shake, i used some double sided take along where they were hitting, that had a dampening effect and cause less noise, **** still vibrates, but no rattle, no the dome light is rattling(the clear lense part shakes in the actual housing) dont know how to stop that, and the rear seat panels shake at the clips, was thinking of using something sort of to like before, dampen the vibrations a bit, im thinking of putting thing double sided tape on the clips, so when they clip in, they will be a tighter fit and have less room to shake, what do you guys think? or have you guys found a better way?

oh and here's a pic of the mount

yes its polished(no it didnt come that way)

I just got the use to the vibes they are only really bad around idle. Once you are moving its not to bad and to be honest with some subs pounding it kinda all blends together lol

i got the mount just to get it, not for wheel hop i have now, but for what i might get in the future, plus its a nice mod to have, having a polished mount sitting in the engine bay looks nice

I see what your doing, trying to get a pic of your crotch up on CSS, sneaky bastard jk.. Looks good, i plan on getting some of those solid mounts here on my next paycheck since im really going to need em.

Jn2, have you tried doing the "home made" solid mounts? If anyone else has, how are the vibes on those because i may go cheap for the time being and just fill my stock mounts.

The solution for curing the rattles is removing the solid mounts. Solid mounts? really?

actually the solution to stopping rattling is double sided tape to dampen the pieces, so they dont hit and make that cricket sound didnt take more than 30 mins and rattles are gone, vibs i can live with, hell ive lived with them for months, dont bother me at all now i have a full mount set and rattle free

my mirror is fine, it vibrantes, but doesnt rattle, also my definition of rattles is that anoying cricket sound you get from **** plastic on plsatic hitting, or metal on metal, vibrations is just that vibs, i can like with vibs, you just feel those, but i cant stand listening to **** making cricket noises all the time :p
