umm...didn't dave say he could still get them? why don't you ask if he can and how much? if you had them and love them, why not stick with them? just wondering.

dave's mounts are pretty fucking good though. i like them. they give the bottom of the motor yellow bling. lol.

do they have dave's cell phone number and/or email address on them?

if no, im not interested. :-)

jamg

link to dave's motor mounts? is he still making and selling them?

GSXRJJordan

He co-developed them with Syko. I don't know if you can still get Syko mounts, but I believe Dave still has connections with them and can sell them.

i got some solid ones from touge factory (Peak Performance Mounts - tougefactory - exciting car parts maker),
pretty dope. made my weak ass ka feel faster lol.

MotorMounts

drift freaq,
You were and are correct on the "struck a nerve". I over reacted and took personally what I felt was a dis on my product that I've worked hard on, sold hundreds of sets of and gone beyond the call of duty to make sure the customer gets his mounts fast. All of this with not one failure of a mount. Still, with hundreds of sets out there with no failures, I still get the soup can, Pringle chips tube, or Jello mold stuff. I have re-written that eBay listing 10 times over the years trying to figure what makes people tick and try to instill confidence that the mounts will not break. No matter what I write, someone finds a way to slam the mounts and twist what I say into "They Suck". There is not one person out there that has had a "first hand" bad experience with our mounts. It's like those old Frankenstein movies, all the villagers want to kill Frankenstein and burn the castle, Frankenstein didn't do anything wrong, so what's up. The mounts are designed to take both compression and tension loads into account, there is no metal to metal contact inside the mount, I use the best materials I can get, and for some reason, people that have never tried them, spread the word that they SUCK. Maybe I should raise the price to the $200 mark like a couple of the other posters were saying was the going rate for a quality set of mounts.
Anyway, about my previous post.... MY BAD. I'll be going to the back of the bus now, to be with the other Noobs. Peace, MotorMouth

...and put rainbow sparkles in the urethane.

MotorMounts, I just bought a set of these from you. I believe I referred you to this site. If you make a decal I'll put it on my car, I think your mounts KICK ASS.

It's clutter and white noise that covers up the truth. This is where I'm from: You be straight with me and I will be straight with you. If there is anyone around here that doesn't roll that way, please identify yourself before we do business. S14DB has it nailed, comments should be taken as opinions and not statements of fact. Thank You for your "Welcome to the club" It helped soothe the wound of yeserdays frustration. Be cool, Max
Good for you man, nothing wrong with saving a buck. Sounds like it has worked for others it may work for you, what do you have to loose? Best of luck, for real. Max
Casey, How you doin'? It's good to hear from you. Yes, you did refer me to this site and the only reason I am here. So, once I become a supporting vendor of the site maybe admin should me giving you some kind of commish. Throw a dog a done. Speaking of bones.............Yesterday when the rocks were flyin' between me and drift freaq (not to mension Dalaz_68 throwing in his 2 cents, I understand though, he was defending a homie), you stood up, chimed in, and got my back. For that, I think you are "Front Row" and will not forget it. In fact, how's this for a bone........Check your PayPal account on Monday there might be some unexpected activity. It also sounds like ULTRA MOUNTS are not getting a fair shot around here. You've been here longer than I have, know your way around, know who the good guys are. How about you picking someone to receive a free set of motor mounts to demo and give a reveiw on. They get to keep the mounts. All I want is a fair, unbiased, run 'em as hard as they can review that will be posted publicly on the forum. No sugar coating, straight up hard truth is all I want. Are you down? As far as a decal goes, do we have any artists on this site? Lets put something together. I gotta roll, it's time to make the donuts. Peace To All, Max

ixfxi

Max, its a forum of (mostly) cheap bastards here. Everyone will complain about everything. You build something for $300, they'll say it should cost 200. You build it for 200, they say it should cost 100. You build it for 50, then obviously it must suck because its 50 bucks.

No one does R&D anymore, they just copy designs. All we business-savy folk can rely on is our bank accounts AND our customers to remind us whether or not our products are actually worth a damn. Since all of the car-communities out there dont know me personally, theres no reason for me to give a flying fuck about what most people think.

Every once and a blue moon I chime in to school people, but thats only when I am bored. I consider myself too busy to try to chime in and support my business, I have loyal customers that do that for me.

Last and most important, there are a lot of people in this world that still have that rare capability to think for themselves. I buy multiple products, inspect, compare, and do my own testing. Some people are just brand-huggers or thread followers and either follow the brand or follow what the masses on the forums do, neither are correct. And just because you make an engine mount and someone else makes an engine mount, doesnt mean that one is always superior to the other. There are plenty of people in the lighting business for example, some of which are actually pretty good competetors to me. Theres plenty of business to go around in this world, and plenty of asshole customers that I'de rather not deal with. As business men, we often have to remind ourselves that theres really no reason to want to be the #1 shop for selling any and everyone their product. If you're truly worth it (generally speaking, not direct to you), then people will support your business.

Case closed.

ayuaddict

i loved them, (i dont have the car any more). they felt really solid.

there was a lot of vibration though, which was fine with me, some people may become annoyed by it.

and it was for a street car.

drift freaq

I am thoroughly impressed by this response. I completely understand the crap you are going through. Quite honestly we did sell quite a few of the mounts ourselves as well. We did run into the naysayers as well who said our mounts had a bolt through them or assumed they did.

We even had a guy post in our thread about how he was going to go buy studs and urethane tubes and make his own. It was fucking hilarious.

Now that you have stated what you have, about your mounts? I would no doubt say you probably have a quality mount there.

GSXRJordan is right, the mounts were developed when I was working with Syko.
Syko developed an even crazier mount for the RB kit. It is by far one of the best mounts I have ever seen on the market.
Syko pretty much abandoned the old yellow mount design in favor of his newer design.

Can't say that I blame him. His newer mount design was fucking bad ass. It is also not a cheap mount to make. Its also only for RB installs.

I can indeed still get the old the Yellow design for people.

Though honestly, I gave up much interest in marketing them. Why you may ask?
Well between when we originally marketed and the time when we stopped and I brought them back to market on My OWN(aka nothing to do with Syko), the market had changed. People were being cheap.

There were people selling garbage stud through the middle mounts on ebay for $50 and no one bothered to take the time to read and understand the differences. Results? Very slow sales. I dropped marketing them.


Oh and for the record I am not Syko, I worked with Syko and I do not anymore.

We went our separate ways a few years ago because we had different ideas and goals. He by far makes the best RB install kit on the market. His work is exceptional.

It is the inspiration from that, that has pushed me to do things righ

Thats because I did not check the locations Steve. LOL I merely commented based on how his ebay post and was drawing conclusions from it.

It did not come across clearly enough in my eyes(from the after thought perspective). When he went off because I touched a Nerve? All I did was respond.

Seriously, I paid no attention to the locations, though I did sense and feel by his reaction he was one in the same.

While it amuses you that I did not comment on it. Or catch it in your opinion, because I did not comment.
Its rather a trivial point, In the overall debate of the mounts and their quality.

I should add by his clearing it up. He proved he had a quality mount and that my previous conclusion was probably faulted.

I agree and based on his clearing it up? Its my bad for drawing the original conclusion I did about his mounts.

I think if he changes the wording to state what he wrote above, in his ads? It will be clear to any one of intelligence, that the man is building a quality engine mount.

I also once again commend him as well, for realizing he too had made conclusions about me and the mounts that I used to sell. Without enough knowledge of me.

In the end it comes out quite good.

I'll do what I can to help you out Max. I know you sell a quality product. I'm sick of all the ricer fanboy nutswingers that assume something is garbage if it doesn't say Greddy or Nismo on it. 95% of the people on this forum don't even drive their car hard enough to break anything, they are too worried about wheel fitment and getting suspension to lower their car then they don't bother to get a proper alignment or good tires. Form must follow function or else you have a show car. I'll ask around and find out who would be willing to test out some mounts.

Casey, Thanks for the support. Lets try to teach these nutswingers (that's a new word for me) to think for themselves, not just follow the heard like sheeple. On second thought, lets just start shooting 'em, maybe we can help the ones that are smart enough to run. That will cut our work to a minimum while maximizing the return. Good deal, find us suitable guinea pig. Hopefully sooner the better. Hey thanks again for standing up yesterday,that was something most people don't see enough of, check your PayPal account, Monday came early. I got to go, Max

I'll run your mounts in auto-x and do a review after my next event. They may want you to be a vendor before that but you can check with any of the moderators

Here is mine. It looks lower in the pic because of the angle but my oil pan sits 0"~1/8" below the sway bar. My downpipe is gonna bang something along time before my oil pan, it's still higher than the cross member.
