Group on New Custom Urethane Ka and SR Engine mounts

drift freaq custom urethane engine mounts!!
This is our first run of our own Custom line of Race/Drift Urethane engine mounts. Fabricated to bring you improved throttle response and high horsepower durability.
These Mounts are made of High quality High grade urethane (not the kind of stuff you get in tubes at Home Depot).
Quality constructed right here in the U.S. Not imported.

OK folks the test marketing pricing has been over for awhile. If you read through the thread you will see that but I am posting here as well.
The current shipped price for a set of mounts $130
Feedback from people who do this group buy will be appreciated so we can develop more applications. thank you

Is this just engine mounts, or is there a tranny mount as well? It looks a lot simpler/less substantial than, say, the cusco mounts. Can you give a comparison?

I will try to answer all three questions here. First off they have been tested on a track car and there was some vibration though nothing more than what you get off polyurethane in your suspension, i.e. nothing substantial. On a street car with interior I am sure it would be less.
They are very solid in that your shift lever will not rock back and forth like stock mounts and yes they are beefier than Nismo mounts in strength.
These are the real deal capable of handling over 500 HP. They are simple yet very strong and light that was our goal.
Similiar mounts are going in my S13 RB25 car in case your wondering about them. I cannot directly compare them to the Cusco cause I have never used the Cusco. I have seen the Cusco and I feel what we have designed is more than appropriate for our cars. Like I said they have been tested on a track car and the results where quite favorable in my opinion.
They have proven quite durable.
At the current time we have developed the engine mounts and have not done the the tranny mount yet. We have been discussing it and if there is enough feedback and commitment for it, we will go and do it.
This Group buy has a current mininum length of two weeks right now. I.E. we would like to see 15 people commit in the Next couple of weeks . I do not think you will be sorry on these but they are for the serious drivers.
I hope I have answered everyones questions.
peaceout Dave

Damn D, where were these 3 weeks ago when I bought my nismo's! I would totally have gone for these. They look really stout and I bet they're way easier to install than stock mounts, since they're nowhere near as bulky. Definitely making use of the K.I.S.S. principle. Bump for Drift Freaq!


For those who haven't heard the term, K.I.S.S is short for "Keep it simple, stupid".

disclaimer: I'm in no way implying that drift freaq and company are stupid, that's how the saying goes, and it refers to nice, clean, straightforward design. Good stuff..

shipping on a tranny mount later is probably only going to be around $10 the motor mount shipping price right now is around $20 , thats only a extra $10

I will start collecting cash around the end of the week. right now we have 5-6 people who want in .

yea, are there any other color options? Not too fond of the yellow. Also, yes, get a tranny mount in development. Make a whole set, a lot more people would be biting on this if there was a transmission mount I think.
But yes, I'm most likely in, pending color and when you're going to take money. I'd rather you take money once you have 15 people committed.

this is a a first run special the color reflects the pricing. We are commited to doing other colors but the pricing will be a bit higher. Once we can see a commitment towards the first 15 then we can move forward into other colors and tranny mounts but until then we need the first 15 to make things happen.

As far as the money is concerned I am not taking money in at the moment and most likely will not start till the commitment level gets to around 10 if not 10 or more. Reason for not waitinng till 15 is its easier to start taking money in from people when the decide they want to get in, then have them wait and pull out at the last minute thereby extending the time. Its a group buy and the fact is the nature of it is a waiting period .
Sometimes it moves quickly other times it takes a little longer .

They are very solid in that your shift lever will not rock back and forth like stock mounts and yes they are beefier than Nismo mounts in strength.
These are the real deal capable of handling over 500 HP. They are simple yet very strong and light that was our goal.
Similiar mounts are going in my S13 RB25 car in case your wondering about them. I cannot directly compare them to the Cusco cause I have never used the Cusco. I have seen the Cusco and I feel what we have designed is more than appropriate for our cars. Like I said they have been tested on a track car and the results where quite favorable in my opinion.
They have proven quite durable.
At the current time we have developed the engine mounts and have not done the the tranny mount yet. We have been discussing it and if there is enough feedback and commitment for it, we will go and do it.
This Group buy has a current mininum length of two weeks right now. I.E. we would like to see 15 people commit in the Next couple of weeks . I do not think you will be sorry on these but they are for the serious drivers.
I hope I have answered everyones questions.
peaceout Dave
How do you know that they are "beefier in strength" than the Nismo mounts? Have you compared both materials and grades side by side?
And the "over 500hp" business? I don't know where else these have been tested because you have not told us, but from the looks of it, they are shown on an N/A SR20DE, which may or may not be turning out over 500hp, who knows?
Not trying to be a skeptic at all, please don't misunderstand my post. Just trying to figure out what real advantages these have over the tried and true Nismo mounts. Price definately isn't an increadibly noticeable difference if you factor in the trans mount that Nismo includes for under $200 shipped.

For those of us who have something to lose here, there needs to be a greater selling point than neon yellow, non-brand (or not mentioned), "heavy duty" motor mounts. I realize the favor you're trying to do us Zilvian's by offering some sort of alternative, and I appreciate it, I do. So as far as buyer feedback goes for this post:
-need color options (or some detail about the price differences between other colors)
-need some more construction information, real evidence.
-need pricing on the eventual option of a transmission mount. A lot of use like to plan ahead, and use a matching set of mounts all around. Even if it won't be available for another few months.
-oh, and get some bigger pics please!

Hope everything goes well with the group buy, I'll be twidling my thumbs till you need a 15th person
-Ben
