Bad engine mount replaced...

I ordered a Pedro's Racing Mount a while back - and started a thread commending Pedro for his style of doing business.

I was planning to keep the mount sitting around for use when/if I felt my stock mount let go. However, I was Jonesing for a project today, so I decided to install my mount, even if I didn't need it.

I needed it.





I hope the photos accurately depict how shot the stock mount on my Boxster with 30K miles and 5 autocrosses. I genuinely did not expect to find the OEM mount torn in several places.

The Pedro mount transmits more motor vibration to the cabin, especially when engine braking and high revs, but it is definitely tolerable. On the plus side, my 5-speed's reluctance to shift into first when the gearbox is cold seems to be fixed.

So, if you are assuming like I was that your stock mount is probably fine because your Box is low-mileage and/or you don't beat the he!! out of it, you may want to give that some additional thought...
