MiataRoadster wants your torn motor mounts!
I'm working with Energy Suspension on urethane motor mounts for Miatas.
As part of their R&D they want to see examples of how/where the stock mounts fail.
Over the years, I've seen many mounts where the metal brackets bent and the rubber tore away from the metal, but I've always tossed them.
I'd appreciate your help with this project by donating your 1990-2005 used/torn mounts for ES to inspect.
I'll give you my FedEx account # to use so it won't cost you anything.
Please email me to make arrangements @ Bill@MiataRoadster.com
Thanks!

Seem to be the cheapest mounts available when looking for something stiffer than the mazdacomp units.

Bill, I should be doing my motor mounts in the next few weeks. If you still need a pair of damaged mounts, let me know.
For those interested in rear diff mounts, I just installed my delrin diff bushings from http://www.iscracing.net/Miata_Page.htm
They are machined to perfect size and went right in. really stiffened up the diff to the subframe. Only downside is you can really hear the little sounds that the rear end makes now. *shrug* I also dont have a rear deck/carpet/top installed, so that might contribute to the noise

I am looking at a set right now that have yet to be installed and they are definitely some stiff pieces. From what I can tell they are almost the same as plastic cutting board material. Should not be a big deal for the diff though as I shimmed out my stock mounts with big washers for a while which made them equivalant to metal bushings and the noise wasn't bad except it would hum a lot between 50 and 70mph.
