FLuXeXigeS · 07-23-2008, 07:34 PM

everyone that doesnt care about the color should get HOT PINK

xeeeejme · 07-23-2008, 07:45 PM

Definitely in. Voted for black.

shay2nak · 07-23-2008, 09:46 PM

i'll take a set as well

what the difference between these and an engine damper? I guess the damper is an added piece and these are just replacing the stock mounts.

Bane · 07-23-2008, 09:54 PM

I'm in just because of the cool video

I voted black but I'll take red also. Please let us know when they are ready!

lotusfan2 · 07-23-2008, 10:26 PM

I'm in. Black is good. Certainly not hot pink

Noah Vail · 07-23-2008, 10:47 PM

Count me in. Excellent presentation; very effective.

... anything but puce.

thegoat · 07-23-2008, 11:38 PM

Even hot pink will do.

but if it is hot pink, please put a hello kitty stamp on it!

Carl / Brent,
No worries about the crush sleeve. And sorry for misleading you guys with that sample pic where it doesn't show the metal sleeve. There will be no modification on the stock engine mounts. What I'm offering are simply inserts that fills exactly all the gaps on the stock mounts. Installation is very easy. Takes about 30 mintues. I swapped them out to do the before/after video between sessions on the track. I will have instructions once they are ready.
Will keep you guys posted.
Thanks

ZJChaser · 07-24-2008, 12:37 AM

I hadn't even noticed the video, nice work manly, the video is a great representation!

kbob · 07-24-2008, 08:18 AM

Nifty! I'll take a set.

Dragon · 07-25-2008, 12:11 AM

You can make my orange in to a red... just because I don't want boring black to win..

kbob · 07-25-2008, 06:35 AM

They're engine mount pucks. They're going to be boring even if you paint naked ladies on them.

lwein · 07-25-2008, 06:58 AM

Yeah-don't underestimate the value of stealth. And I have not kept up on this stuff,but would this be legal for a stock class in autocross-----------any other color than black would stick out like a sore thumb----------------Just a thought.

RichS · 07-25-2008, 07:03 AM

I'll take a set. Red or Black is fine with me.

skibum · 07-25-2008, 07:38 AM

I would like Barney Purple please :0

This thread sort of reminds me of a interview I read with Geoff Brabham. They were discussing the rise and fall of his IMSA GTP career. In just a couple of years he went from winning the majority of GTP races, and the championship, one year to being just another car running the race the next. His comment was something like:

When we were a small private team, we had just a hand full of focused people working for a single goal, to win races. Then Nissan bough us and we had hundreds of people working on the team. I knew were were in trouble when somebody I didn't recognize, a Nissan engineer, was asking me what color the display in the car should be. Like the color of the display makes the car go faster.

Sorry for the small rant. This thread just always reminds me of this.

I'll shut up now.
