Replacing Front Motor Mount, OEM or Pedros?

[manolo]

On another note, Pedro is a super nice guy and makes good stuff. One of the rare guys you will find that is knowledgeable and easy to work with.

+1 on Pedro being a great guy. It is rare to find an internet vendor with integrity, let alone one who is a nice guy as well. I will be a repeat customer, that is for certain.

Now I am doubting as to whether I have made the right choice going with the racing mount??? I will find out tomorrow I guess, and if it is too rough I suppose I can just drill the appropriate holes and re-install.

Will post tomorrow with my thoughts.

Is this the "987 motor mount"?

Yep. In fact I have one right here waiting to be installed.

I installed one of Pedro's mounts and have been extremely happy with it.

Pedro is a great guy and is very helpful every step of the way.

I will most difinitely buy from him again!

The new GT3 has a no compromise 'Dynamic Engine Mount'. Pedro, can you fab some up for us?

Because the GT3 (and all other 996s and 997s for that matter) have the engine backwards it's much easier to do than on a 986/987/C7.
Our engine is mounted with the flywheel facing back, the 911s have it facing forward.
That's why we only have one front engine mount, instead of two.
BTW, the life of an OEM mount is 45,000 miles.
I don't know how long my remanufactured mounts will go because I haven't received one back yet (broken).
The first one I made I installed in my car 112,000 miles ago .
I inspect it maybe twice a year, but haven't found any cracks yet.
The new mounts for the 987/C7 aren't really stronger, they're actually weaker, because they were made to absorb more vibration, hence they last less.
I also found a better compound for my remanufactured mounts.
The next generations will absorb better the engine vibration.
Happy Boxstering,
Pedro
