Oh Snap :)

Ok, so me and my friend installed 034 street motor mounts and 034 (apikol, i thought 034 makes their own ones) snub mount + spark plugs.
To put new spark plugs took us about 10 minutes, most of what we were gapping them to 0.28...
Engine Mounts: Man, took us about 3 hours... We were following Yoogene83's DIY (thank you) and DirtyBrd/Rxrep help. Basically wasnt that hard. Just something new and we went the hardest way (Eugene)first :))) and then witched to the easiest one (DirtyBrd). Anyways, i thought you have to install both mounts and then start the engine and let it idle for 30-40 seconds. We did that twice after each side was done. BTW we started from the drviers side.
Snub Mount: Pretty easy, but the snub mount with the bracket didnt fit, so i had to use the old bracket.
Anyways, after the first testdrive, i felt more smootherness, i guess from the spark plugs and a little bit less og engine moving.
All my stock mounts fine.
Overall, i'm happy... thanks evreyone for the help.

oh man...i thought i told you guys to follow dirtybrd's/400hp's writeups-theirs are much easier to do.

well, at least you learned something by doing it, you can see my frustration from reading the other writeups and being confused as well :)

you tired? lol

Good to hear this 034 street mounts are next in line after my car gets put back together.

BTW, does every car have a snub mount, cause a lot of people and a friend who was helping me ( an evo driver) had no idea what the snub mount is.

Call it a front engine mount and you won't get those strange looks anymore.

[HeHateMe]

my motor mounts need replacing, what would you guys recommend, 034 or the rs4 mounts?

[dirtybrd]

Glad I could help!

Rs4 mounts have liquid, 034 dont... Since 034 came out with their mounts, i think more people swithing to them...thats only what i see here on AZ though.

Glad I could help!

Going to try and do my mounts tomorrow, both engine and trans, 034 street density. They've been sitting here in a box for over a month now.

I think what took the longest, is the top passenger side nut.
And make sure u use a good piece of wood to pull up your engine, and would be much easier if you ask someone to help for at lest 5 min so he/she can direct you when pull the motor back.

Or dog bone mount

[aaaudiprotein]

BTW, after driving the car for a couple of hours, it feels more solid on the starts and during shifts.

Exactly. Snub mount is just another name.



What is dirtybird/400hpa4's method? I'm just curious in final tightening since I'll be installing my 034 motor mounts when the engine is out of my car.

Look at Post # 3http://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php?t=146377&highlight=snub+mount+diy

I tightened the top nut first, let the engine idle + some small revs and then tightened the bottom nut. I did that for each mount.

Motor mounts should have taken 30-45 minutes!! Oh well, maybe next time, lol!

Any excess vibrations from the street mounts?

[aaaudiprotein]

After i installed motor and snub mounts, l prolly felt 0 vibration. Either i got used or i dunno... but now i feel like it used to be... But no extra vibration from street density mounts :)))

Question:
Does APR and 034 (Apikol) Snub mounts have the same size???

[AudiTwink]

I guess it's good someone had a good experience with 034, if only I had, then maybe I would have their mounts as well. Because of them I'm rockin B5 mounts instead. They are stiffer, and I like them better then my worn out original mounts, so I came out better than I started but still not satisfied with the way I was treated by 034 customer service.

I can measure when I get mine apart (maybe this weekend if I have time). I've got an Apikol in the "to install" pile, and an APR currently on the car.

i loved my 034 street density MM in my 2002! i put them in and instantly could feel a difference. i did have a blown pass side mount though. mmm if only they didnt get F-ed up in the accident theyde be in my new car too

[aaaudiprotein]

My motor mounts and a snub were in a good condition, from what i saw at least, so i didnt feel that much of a difference.
I still dont know why the bracket from 034 didnt fit.
