New product!

Walker's method isn't as much about stiffening the mounts as it is about removing the propensity of the engine/transmission to twist off its natural axis under high load. Its all in the placement. Think of it as Aikido vs boxing. Instead of brute force applied in the wrong places/not enough places, a gentler force is being spread out among the proper mounting points.

I do agree that it is a good concept, as we have already stated, and get exactly what you are stating. It will do just as you stated.

Just asking for it to be looked at by different means of securing to the car frame. That is all folks.

As I stated you've said the same thing 3 times. Yet failed to answer any of the direct questions. Don't you see I'm using your tactics against you.

Where is my popcorn.

Ttr I'm really not mad at you guys don't even really care. I'm just pointing out the holes (drilling reference) in your arguments.

 

[krakenredbeard]

Well you gave me what I wanted thank you for that. Ha ha ha ha ha.

Honestly vibs all aside, it is still a consideration members should have drilling into the front member of their car, to support the transmission.

Aaron,
Your are correct. Potential buyers should consider the pros and cons of any modification to a car before purchasing or proceeding with said modification, but I don't get why you feel it's necessary to come in my sub-forum to defend your products, and tell everyone why my new mounting solution is so dangerous. This is completely out of line in my honest opinion. You have your own sub-forum,as well as several other areas to post your concerns, but this isn't the place.

I want to clear this up now.
1)I think TTR makes quality engine and transmission mounts for the Sonic.

2)I feel I have come up with a better mounting option that will yield a dramatic increase in "responsiveness" without the same level of vibration inherent in other available drivetrain mounting solutions.

Now that I have publicly endorsed your product, please quit coming in here to defend it. Your mounts cause additional vibration over stock. Everyone(including you) knows this, but when I mention it, somehow this was an attack. It wasn't. I apologized for the misunderstanding my response caused while answering another member's question. I also removed your company's name from any of my posts on this subject. This should have been sufficient.

I feel like I have better Sonic products than yours or anyone's, for that matter, but that's how it should be. If I didn't believe in what I was doing, then why in the hell waist my money and time doing it?
Competition is part of the market place, and I expect it, and accept it, and so should you.

Ok joking aside now, have you figured out a price for this mount?

 

[MPFab]

Not yet. I picked up one of the CNC'd parts tonight. I'll test fit it tomorrow, and post some updated pics.

Drilling into the subframe will do nothing to the your warranty!! If that was the case adding aftermarket mounts would do the same..

Also we have been drilling into factory Honda subframes for years with No bad effects if you've seen a Honda subframe you know how thin that thing is compared to the ones in the sonic/cruze.


Also if it's really about safety and not sells why is it you started the group buy as soon he posted his new product for the sonic and your GB is only for sonics and not the cruzetalk guys have been asking for a GB on your mounts for sometime

Walker, I commend you for defending your product and in a professional manner. We ARE a community after all.

What's the best way to defend against rust when drilling into the subframe? I drilled the torsion beam for the DDM brace, but I didn't care too much since that piece could be replaced easily if it ever needed it.

Paint or a product called por-15

The cross member is actually covered up pretty well in the area where the additional holes need to be drilled. There are a couple layers of plastic undertray that keep the weather away from that area. You could easily paint them if rust is a real concern in your area. Touch up paint would work well because all you need to protect are the edges of the holes. The brush applicator on the touch up paint would make it quite easy.

Here is V1.0 of the mount.

It's much "beefier" than it needs to be and as a result, it's heavier than I'd like. A new drawing is in the works for what V1.1, and hopefully that will get the mount closer to what I'm looking for without too much additional cost.

Hopefully, V1.1 is what will go into production.

Damn, those are pretty.

I so want this purrty thing!

[Yosemite Sam]

I may buy an extra 1 of this piece to make a clock out of. It's a work of art!
