Top one looks like jbarone. A lot of the MS3 guys swear by him, but as an individual hes an @$$hole. I know from personal experience from having my MS3, he was just disrespectful and highly unprofessional to those whenever they had a criticism of his work.

Good luck though!

 

Let me know if you guys have any questions. The mount fits the 12' focus well but the nut and bolt we supply currently need swapped out for a 14mm x 1.25 of equivalent length.




feta_mgp,
Sorry if I've rubbed you the wrong way. You are correct, sometimes I take criticism too personally. I'll work on it.

 

So after my rear motor mount needed to be replaced... Apparently from all the harsh driving conditions.. I decided to see if I can find poly or dura mounts for the rear mount.

1 reason is the car has terrible wheel hop when the tires break free.

2 Im tired of feeling the motor slam back and forth it really takes away from the DCT's ability to give a good amount of power to the wheels at all times.

3 I have a feeling this will make the DCT much more responsive.

Its For a Mazda 3 but this is the only rear motor mount I can find that looks similiar to ours. Single bolt through the subframe side and another through the engine side.

Wish me Luck.

Yeup, that's a James Barone RMM for a Speed3 alright.

 

Interested to see how this will turn out. Subbed keep us updated =].

 

I was wondering this myself. The lower motor mount looks easy enough to change out, as well.

 

you sir, are a pioneer [strongman] good luck!

 

Very interested in these results. Hope everything comes together.

 

It will work I looked Long and Hard at the mount and it should be a piece of cake!

 

Is that a Gen 2 mount?

 

04-2012 mazda mzr/duratecs use this mount. Never a focus till now... doesnt suprise me since this is a shared chassis and suspension for the past 12 years...

 

Looks interesting... unfortunately I'm having ongoing issues with my motor mounts, so I'll be keeping stock to use the warranty.

 

Hummmmm.... I wonder if Mazdaspeed or regular 3 urethane inserts will work? I don't want a full on urethane mount, but inserts would e nice. Though if I could get a low durometer version of he mount above, I would go that route.

 

Check the cpe mount I have that on my ms3 I like it aot hated it at first because of vibrations felt like a solid mount but after 2 months I don't even here it anymore

 

I miss my 2008 MS3... :'(

 

I also had a CP-e mount on my MS6 but there are better proved options now a days.

 

 

Looks like it bolted right up.

 

Well done. Its nice to know the RMM's on my 2 cars are interchangeable!

 

Maybe I know my shit on these cars... Just maybe

 

Have you test driven it yet?

 

Ofcourse I had this done first thing in the morning I just got home to post the news. ZERO engine Movement. Very good results... Although it doesnt bother me there is vibration from this jerky shaky engine at 1000-2000 rpm.

Cabin vibration isnt noticeable above 2000 rpm

 

Nice Work! Its great that you took a chance on this. Thank You! Where did you get the mount? Looks like a very solid piece.

 

James Barone Racing hes going to add the 2012 focus to his site within a month but you can order this from him whenever...

I would like a slightly softer version for this car and Ill use this mount for my ST

 

Right now you are way out in front with testing what works and what doesnt, everybody else is just waiting for you to test things it seems like

 

Tell me about it lol... All these companies Im doing favors for... I need some discounts!

 

Merged the two threads together

 

thanks brother! [cheers]

 

Do you recall what duro JBR mount is?

 

70 red 80 black... i need 60 or 50 for this car its a bit to aggressive for my tastes. If the mount stays the same for the ST ill be all for the 70

 

It will break in and loosen up too.

 

Did you have clunk before? Did this effect it at all if you did?
