starionesir Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 I'm pretty sure I have a broken driver side engine mount. Lately been getting a loud clunk when letting off the throttle after some spirited driving. I'm going to check it out this weekend while I'm doing my oil change but was curious if anyone had either mounts and what they thought of them.

Akasa Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 I may not be that helpful, but i'd absolutely choose group N. I don't like Perrins track record for having quality and fitment issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starionesir Posted November 12, 2014 Author Share Posted November 12, 2014 Really? I have a lot for perrin stuff and all the fitment has been top notch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrTris Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Perrins are not only like, $350, but they're SUPER hard. They're actually a solid mount, IIRC. The GNs are perfectly fine for DD duty, and they're much more reasonable, at <$150. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strizzy Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 I'm running Group-N motor, pitch stop, and trans mounts. No issues with the abuse I've thrown at them. My bad luck build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turboboost Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Group N motor, x-member, and trans mounts. Very solid, connected feel - comfortable for DD and not as big an increase in NVH as I had originally expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starionesir Posted November 12, 2014 Author Share Posted November 12, 2014 I wasn't as worried about the price as much as how they worked. I had a set of super stiff poly mounts on my starion years back and it added ALOT of nvh inside the car. Rattled everything. I see the perrins are softer then the ones I had on my previous car but was curious to hear from someone that had them installed or had installed the group n and how they felt as well.

starionesir Posted November 12, 2014 Author Share Posted November 12, 2014 I have the hard rallitec 5EAT insert as well so there is no give back there either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrTris Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 I have no complaints about the GNs -- had them on my first gen, too. They're pretty great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starionesir Posted November 12, 2014 Author Share Posted November 12, 2014 I think I'm gonna go with the gn's and see how they hold up. Anything will be better then the oem ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhitter Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 I have had the GroupNs for about a year now. I like them a lot. However, MSprank has stated he sees them break with autocrossing / tracking. Â For a DD I am not sure I would want any harder.

BigTDogg MA Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 FWIW, I just got my car back and went with OEM mounts on both sides of the engine and the main tranny mount. I went with a Group N on the pitch stop, and I'm not sure if it's because they're new or it's wicked cold in the mornings, but it's very audible. Not annoying, it's still nice, but it's much louder than my old OEM mounts and Group N tranny mount. I did finally kick that LWFW to the curb, so my gear chatter is finally gone, so that's nice too.

Nightmaresmk Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 I have the perrin trans and grp n engine and stock pitch. group ns are nice but i'll be switching to the perrin engine mounts. i removed my perrin pitch mount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lingling1337 Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 I have full group n mounts except for top hats. nvh is there but not annoying. I think anything stiffer would make it a race car instead of a GT car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris GTO TT Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Do you still have it, or is it like mine long since sold  http://www.gtotwinturbo.com/images/starion/ http://www.gtotwinturbo.com/images/starion/images/DSCN0827.JPG http://www.gtotwinturbo.com/images/starion/images/DSCN0829.JPG http://www.gtotwinturbo.com/images/starion/images/251713_19_full.jpg 2003 Baja 5MT 2016 Outback 2.5i Premium w/Eyesight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starionesir Posted December 10, 2014 Author Share Posted December 10, 2014 Sadly long gone. I sold it back in 05 and the new guy told me he was making over 400whp before he t boned a lady in a caravan and totaled the car. Worst part was the insurance company only gave him 1k for the car. Then it get parted it on the starquest site. Took me 2 years to build and about a week to tear it apart and sell the pieces. Was a sad day.

starionesir Posted December 10, 2014 Author Share Posted December 10, 2014 I think they were ahead of there time. Really enjoyed mine and getting rid of the horrid fuel injection and going with mpi made a big difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
