Hi, has anyone tried solid engine mounts in a 924 race car? Is the chassis strong enough? Are there any other possible weaknesses?

My friend did that on his race-car. For two seasons thathe raced it, no problems occured, but even though you should be prepared to tackle ones, because it's stressful to the mounts and body after all. Strut brace is a good idea when you're going that route. You probably already have it anyway

Thanks Raceboy, sounds like it could be worth a go. Anyone else tried this?

Does anyone know where to get some? I see them for 944s, but not for our cars.

An alternative if you can't find any is to remove the rubber and cast liquid polyurethane resin into it. It's stiffer stuff than regular urethane bushings, and pretty easy to do yourself.

VIBRATECHNICS do uprated mounts in the UK.

I have a set on my car. They cost £68 each.
