So i have recently purchased My S2000 and i have had solid motor mounts on everything from civics to jeeps but none
of them sound like the S2000.
so i have what i believe to be innovative mounts with 75a bushings. and i am not sure what brand my tranny mount is.
the drone in the cab is ridiculous.

the point of this thread is to throw out an idea i have had for a while.

i noticed that the motor mounts bolt onto a flat surface in the engine compartment. would it be possible/safe to place a thin flat
layer of rubber or silicone in between the frame and the mount?

obviously if you put something between the frame and mount you will lose some of the stiffness provided by the solid
mount. but would it reduce the noise transfer from the block to the frame without completely ruining the solid feel?

Any rubber you put in there will shred itself.

Get rid of that crap and put oem mounts in the car. I think they are one of the worst products ever produced for the S2000.

OEM mounts plus an Ingalls engine torque damper and you are good to go for life, whether racing on the track or driving coast to coast.

that is basically my plan if nothing comes of this. is there any way to reduce the noise transfer through the motor mounts?

would a polyurethane pad hold up?

Not sure.

WHATEVER you do, be very careful about the bolt lengths that go into the engine. They are different lengths left to right. If a bolt bottoms out in a hole (you can feel it) it will break/pop a piece of internal engine aluminum into the oil pan, it will get sucked into the oil pickup and starve the engine. I've seen it twice already.

Thanks for the warning
