Wood motor mounts

[King_David]

Y not use wood for motor mounts its solid yet flexible. Or phone book chunks (they can stop knifes)
I'm sure those are stupid questions :confused:

[gijoe69]

why not you try it and find out see what happens

[piranhamatt]

Why not just go all out?

Seriously though, wood can rot, swell, crack, and deteriorate among other things. It typically does not belong on cars.

[ryguy]

Shit man, I would think wood would crack under the stress, plus the mix of heat, wood, and fluid probably isnt a great idea.

[racepar1]

WILL


NOT


WORK


!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



:newbie:

[ryguy]

Are we postin in a troll thread?

[bloodangels13]

where is the rep system when you need it.. i agree with the above statement made by ryguy and piranhamatt

[duffman1278]

Well wood can take a good amount of compression but it would not be good for this type of purpose. Especially with the temperature changes, and hell if you get termites, say bye to your engine mounts lol

There are just so many things wrong with using wood for your engine mounts, do not do it.

[98koukile]

balsa would be your best bet hahaha

[whyrun?]

this is epic. seriously, are nissan owners that fucking cheap? when we live in a world of knockoffs (which i dont condone) people try to beat buying knockoffs and try wood?

can you imagine being a inspection tech at an event and seeing fucking wooden mounts or phonebook stacks? i would fucking die laughing and then permaban then from the track.

damn, cheapass's.

[spiderlone]

I was actually thinking of using wood...
im gona give it a try.. Ill let you know how it go's
..lol

I was gonna use marshmallows, or maybe balloons. I'll let you know how it goes.

[KoukiMonsta]

wood+oil/ps fluid etc. = dumbass idea

edit: and replace wood w/ paper.....what if it rains

[King_David]

Alrighty then oh and the phone book chunks would be wrapped in duct tape don't no if that will change sum responses

[wattupdogg]

what r u guys talking about i got bubble gum motor mounts

[garagelu]

Alrighty then oh and the phone book chunks would be wrapped in duct tape don't no if that will change sum responses

I hope this is a joke.....

If you are seriously considering this, please do not ever try to work on a car or fix one.

I actually no my way round a nissan (in the process of doing a vq swap)

[whyrun?]

oh dear god. i am ashamed to share the east coast with you. thank god i am WAY north of you.

[mkomar24]

And I thought hockey pucks were bad!

[whyrun?]

now i am doing the hockey pucks. but that is in a day/night comparison to this.

[s13 @ fullboost]

haha this must be a joke

[duffman1278]

wow......

while you're at it, put water in your engine instead of oil, save yourself a few bucks.......

[Quail]

Think you missed the "..lol" at the end of his post.

Be sure to come back when the heat from the exhaust manifold sets your mounts on fire. You do realize that paper is flammable, right?

[army240]

man, i'd love to see that!

[FaLKoN240]

I hope his car catches on fire, and he is trapped inside when it happens.

It took a year for this guy to realize he was going to be a troll?

GTFO.

[Oilcover]

HI everyone,

Oilcover Racing is now accepting pre-orders for our
handmade wooden engine mounts. our mounts are
top quality, go thru a detailed inspection, and stained
with the finest finishes to ensure quality and performance.
they are also carefully hand-selected out in the forests
by our trained expert staff of gatherers.

painstakingly made in my garage with a band saw, no other
performance company can compare their mounts with ours.
in the Super Street engine mount shootout, our mounts passed
the 'floats in a bucket' 10 out of 10 times, which has never been done.

your levels of choice are:

balsa - lightweight, for motorcycles, karts, and lightweight vehicles
pine - our workhorse model. good for most racing applications.
maple - top performance, density, reliability. SCCA/IMSA/FIA legal.
mahogany - our VIP line of mounts.

prices starting at just 199/set. place orders now, and
expect orders to ship out the beginning of next month.

[soreballz]

^Goddamn, I really wish we still had rep. Your posts are the greatest. lol


The only time wood has any place in an engine bay is when being used as a phenolic spacer for a carburetor.

Ummmmm, riiiiiiiiiiiiight. You suggested wooden engine mounts, you don't even "no" your way around common sense.

[crazy_kat_matt]

why dont you stop being cheap and run real motor mounts lol

[duffman1278]

I think by "in the process" he means that he's just looking up pictures online of peoples VQ swaps :ddog:

[s14l0v3r]

engine + wood = disaster. =)

[Oilcover]

^ he's got most of his parts together for it ..

it's in c:/mydocuments/king_david/awsumvqswapstuffiwannado

[Wake]

Ummmmm, riiiiiiiiiiiiight. You suggested wooden engine mounts, you don't even "no" your way around common sense.

HAHA he obviously passed woodshop and failed english.

WOOD = FAIL, wood belongs in soapbox derbys

[s13tilldeath*]

AHahah this is epic.
Who the fuck would think of shit like this.

But guys wood is the new trend....

I am getting wood toe arms and lcas.

[racepar1]

HAHA he obviously passed woodshop and failed english.

Hehe, "woodshop"..............

:cj:

LOL!

[soreballz]

I want wooden pistons. I bet they're great for high boost applications!

Maybe a wooden turbo manifold, too. It'd be the ultimate log manifold.

[Oilcover]

damn! you beat me to the "log style manifold" joke.

[ZenkiCam]

i talked to a dude that uses 2 hockey pucks for his rb25 mounts.

[Razi]

hockey pucks > wood

[MarkLip]

Jesus Christ....

http://westrum.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/holy-facepalm.jpg

[The Chad]

^^ Hockey pucks have been used for short term applications for decades when a custom mount location is needed. ^^

To the OP, I have heard of people using cut pieces of oak for mounts for test fitting engines in bays on numerous occasions for custom set-ups. But that's it, only used them for height and depth of where they would like the motor to sit (can cut and shim the mount, then fabricate the actual mount)....I never ever heard of any one running them for any kind of actual driving use.

[wattupdogg]

what about clay
!!!WHAT ABOUT CLAY!!!
make yourself some play doh mounts and put them in the oven;)

[soreballz]

damn! you beat me to the "log style manifold" joke.
Come on man, I couldn't let you have all the good ones! :cool:

[duffman1278]

Stupid idea! play dough isn't near as baller status as wood. lol

Theirs all kinds of people on craigslist giving away wood I mean motor mounts!

Dumbass.

[boozels]

i think you took the lyrics "woodgrain dippin" too seriously

[KoukiMonsta]

[brndck]

Holy crap I didn't even think about how jdm tyte I could be if I get Japanese wood! How much do u think it'd cost to ship a cherry tree from Tokyo to me?

[artdrifter]

This is so pricelessssss

[King_David]

Flame after flame after flame, scared to touch my key board (not really). While sum of you made valid points and others of you had nothing to say relevant by any means i think i will do it ONLY for test fitting.

[HungryHank]

Im using wooden mounts on my rb as we speak, I will never go back to solid

I have to replace them every day and my engine rocks back and forth all the time. I hear splitting when I redline but its totally worth it!

[sultan]

[DDDsquad_s13panda]

you can use pressure treated wood, its wont attract termites that for sure...

no im kidding. if you were really serious about this... i wonder what kinda of mickey mouse shit youve done to your car...


i mean hockey pucks is one thing, yet more reliable than wood. and the most stupidest idea everrr... i was wondering why this thread got so many reply's.

they were all flammage...


OP fail!

[MarkLip]

I think I'm going to replace my rubber bushings with wood.

I've been lurking on this site since 2005, and this thread has so much epic fail I just had to post.
I can't believe this is only my second post.

Oh....... and..... IBTL

[fishhouse]

amazing. is there a best of section?

[blakeZX]

I just got my custom Wagonforce ZX-5's. You can raise offset anytime you want with a powersander. You know, if you upgrade to big brakes in the future.

[babowc]

Seriously, where the fuck is the rep system when you need it.

[landins13]

i was gonna make mounts out of used condoms but then i realized i would need to use condoms to have them lying around. ive seen some crazy shit work on cars before but this is just rediculous.

all of this coming from a guy who has seen a car that had a motor held together with rtv run 10's for 3 passes before it blew up.

theres an idea too, you could fill a mold with rtv and let it dry out. rtv is silicon rite you would have silicone mounts, or better yet for the added stiffness you could wrap wood with phone book pages then silicon yourself into oblivion.


this thread is great

[Homer_Simpson]

amazing. is there a best of section?
We can try to ask for a "Hall of Shame".:Ownedd:

[VQMaxFan]

DUDE get some sand and put it in a ziploc bag w/ some bolts in it and hit that shit w/ a torch.

glass motor mounts would be so tight

Dude lurks for FOUR YEARS and feels this thread was so ridiculous that he had to post. Congrats OP, I feel like you just accomplished something special.

[FaLKoN240]

Like everyone else said, what the fuck did you expect to happen when you're posting up with the SERIOUS idea of using WOOD for motor mounts?

People to be nice?

Tell you to do it?

Like I said before GTFO.

[Ceepo]

Damn can i get some cherry wood mounts for my Oak/Maple/Balsa 391.5L V-8 motor for my 240? im hoping for around 200 ponies outta this one :)

I am actually excited about this thread now!! lol

I want pictures of more wooden projects!!! lol

[Vanilla Sasquatch]

this is why honda guys shouldnt buy 240's

[soreballz]

I guess if you reeeeeally want "wood" mounts, you could buy some solid aluminum mounts, and have the guys at Dip Tech lay some woodgrain shit on 'em.

/serious post.

Back to shenanigans!

[wgJoY]

lol this thread.

edit: this thread is the ultimate :duh:

[theronin]

remember in 40 year old virgin when hes at the Planned Parenthood office and he asks the lady "is it true that if you don't use it you lose it?" and she responds with, "was that a serious question?"

thats exactly how i felt when i read the original post.

[azndoc]

I understand now why I'm spending less on Zilvia.

sigh

[landins13]

that would be the rite/cool way to do it, or fuck it have the diptech guys coat them to look like a roll of hundred dollar bills. fuck phone books yo my motors held in with stacks

make it rain.

this thread has become epic,

[StalinDrift123]

alright first of all.... who ever started this thread with a dumbass question is either a hard core newb, or a straight out retard!!!

seriously how broke and hillbilly are you?!?!?!
>yea, im just gonna wake up tomorrow and get to work on installing my wood engine mounts.<!!!

you need to get of the weed, its making you extra stupid....

[Rapier46]

I use clay aiken as motor mounts.

[wattupdogg]

maybe you can use a bag of gummy bears
or a potato ?

[FrankDukes]

I think that if you took 20 DR. Schols "GELin'" soles and stacked them and cut them to size, they'd make way better mounts. The engine shake would totally be absorbed.

ARE YOU GEL-in'??

With respect to wood.....Would Wood Work if a Woodchuck wearing chucks chucked a wood full of wood?

NO.

Funny how a somewhat dumbshit idea nobody takes seriously can come to fruition.

[s13 @ fullboost]

Come on guys just cut him some slack yeah it was a dumb question but whatever He is not a troll, yes it looks like he really has a vq swap if you look at s14Db's post I bet he is a nice guy who just asked the wrong question he is going the right way with the motor swap and I am prob saying this to to late because he got flamed to hard he went on Nico to tell them how much of dicks we are on here hehe =p I just feel bad this thread is really funny it would just suck if it was me were all LOLing about. To the OP if you ever log back on to Zilvia and read this just lock it or asked to have it locked if it bothers you that much.

[JDMSTYLE]

got wood? lol...

[Razi]

[snip]
I don't know man, if you think phonebooks can stop knives and can make good motor mounts, you're either high or dumb.
