Doesn't the pitch mount attach to the tranny? Does anybody else make engine mounts, or are the STI ones the way to go anyway? |
Here's the new rule for 2004:
Quote:
G. Engine mounts may be replaced, but must attach in the factory
location(s) without additional modification or changes. Engine
position may not be changed. The amount of metal in a replacement
mount may not be increased relative to the amount of metal
found in a stock mount for the particular application. Solid metal
mounts are specifically prohibited. Any non-metallic inserts may be
used.
Hydraulic shock type rear engine locators, or bobble struts may be
replaced by manufacturer’s performance part, or aftermarket replacement
part. This part must retain factory dimensions and attachment
points, including factory design. (example: If factory
locator/bobble strut is gas or hydraulic piston type, replacement
part must be gas or hydraulic piston type. No solid mounts may be
substituted.)

I believe the pitch mount thingy is a "bobble strut", yes? The STi version is exactly the same as the stock one, but it's made of harder rubber (just like the engine mounts), so I believe it's legal. But I'm not sure technically what a "bobble strut" is...
