Free hoodie.](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/hi-plz-read-me-k-thanks-ps-free-hoodie/38425/77): > > i can tell you from personal exp. that the solid mount thing is going to get VERY old VERY fast. the buzz at idle is fine and high high rpm is fine its the sustained rpm for cruising that is horrible. had them in my rabbit to raise the motor in the bay so i could drive it without the pan being ripped off, it last 2 weeks and I hated driving it so much I redisigned and used a leaf shackle bushing to absorb some vibrations. This pretty much eliminated engine movement while making it not as bad to drive. My advice to you is make a second set of mounts with some sort of vibration dampening and try the ones youy got. if you are ONLY racing the car you prob wont car but if you drive it on the streets your ganna HATE the buzz, it ripps through the car light asonic boom. As always the parts look great and I hope you dont take my reply wrong,I’m just saying this becuase I’ve tried it, had solid mount in the supra too, didnt last, same problem 🙂 was WAY to buzzy…and didnt really make much difference in drivability, actually made it kinda jumpy at low speeds. Thanks man, post up some more dude. Sounds like you had some cool rides and have some knowledge to share. My initial idea was here: [http://shift518.com/showthread.php?t=19961](http://shift518.com/showthread.php?t=19961) POST 11 to be exact. But I got lazy, lol and buzzed these out real quick to get the motor mocked up in place and keep moving forward on the project. Once I run it and my teeth fall out, I am sure i will move back to the bushing idea and make another dogbone with a adjustable heim on one end and a bushing on the other. > [@NYspeed fantasy hockey league](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/nyspeed-fantasy-hockey-league/36459/35): > > ^ Depends on the motor too. I love my solid mounts so much, no vibration. > [@Hi, plz read me, k thanks. PS.

V8’s are not bad for the most part with solid mounts. they are ballanced alot better. I6’s same boat. Even the VR6 seems to be ballanced better. the 1.8T, yeahh not so much! 1,4 up, 2,3 down on the crank. so its more or less a concrete tamper! The more this project moves along the less likely it will be that it racks up miles on the streets. Reliability, driveability, legality, comfert, etc… as much as I say it didnt, it really fell off the cliff of me saying “yeah its a street car, ill drive it all over the place”. lol Side note on the project. Holidays are over, money should be back in my pocket soon and play time should be more on my favor. (minus the wife just broke her wrist on newyears eve and had to get it set and casted, so I have to help her out alot at home) Last week Yetti and I cleaned up the bottom end on the good motor, removed the old mock up one and trans, I have to make a oil filter housing plate to run the AN lines and remote filter and oil cooler stuff, make a thermostat housing for an AN line and the AN fitting for the head too. brake lines are ordered and can be bent up and installed soon. box o tranmission pieces I still need to dig through and put a trans back together. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/albany-speed-shop-krazy-kid-kustoms-2004-jetta-track-car/254265)._
