MUST SEE: New Engine Mounts Totally Transforms My Porsche 911 (Rennline DIY How To Tutorial Review)

I changed out my m mounts at about 78k miles, but replaced them with new OEM parts. Still, the improvement was marked, one of the best mods I have made to my 997.1

BubuBarong says:

So… Porsche – I mean… PORSCHE – never spotted, not even once, what a guy found out with his Havaianas… Hard to believe, isn't it?!

Thomas Patti says:

Nice work! Just added them to my amazon cart!

Neil Asher says:

REALLY Enjoyed this video, my own 997.2 S would love some upgrades.. If I could selfishly ask for something it would be ways to improve the high speed stability, which on my Porsche after 250kmh gets pretty floaty, so please ask a a body work company to sponsor a video! So we can see a before and after

John Young says:

Badass video. Keep the Porsche stuff coming.

james liu says:

Interesting. I had no idea engine mounts would affect the car that much. Good vid.

King Lonne says:

Yes, I am so happy to see you putting out more videos! This is awesome and gives me a great place to look for new engine mounts!

Chuck Girard says:

I did these mounts on my 997.2 a couple months ago. I went with the blue and I love the performance, but I feel like the NVH might be just a little higher than I like. I think I will try switching to the yellow. Do you plan to try the other colors and do a comparison?

Basement Racer says:

Ok, so…… In engine design the engineers have to consider vibration and harmonics. Not just what you can hear in your ear but the harmonics transmitted through the engine and the car itself. What you have essentially done by using engine mounts that are stiffer than the original equipment. (lets not forget the billions porky use on RnD) is change the harmonic resonance of the structure shifting the vibrations exit point to another route or at the very least you have possibly stifled the ability of the engine to dissipate any harmonic energy it generates. Don't know if you cared, good vid. I have found your Cayenne vids very helpful. Thanks. Sorry I should add. Harmonic resonance matters because it can generate heat and wear, not to mention tiny stress fractures over time.

Michelangelo Painting & Wallpaper says:

Great job, keep them coming.

jberkley17 says:

how many miles were on your car when you changed the engine mounts?

Anthony M. DiJulio says:

Excellent video and content

Guy Roberts says:

Good vid, keep it up. I have a question for your viewers or you. I have a 2005 997 Carrera, 128k on the clock. Like you enjoy spending time keeping it in top condition. My most annoying issue that exists today is drive train slack. That is to say, I'm driving in top gear on the freeway, cruising on constant throttle, lift off the throttle and then apply throttle and I notice significant slack in the drive, as if there was play in the gear box, or some other culprit. If you go on off the throttle to exacerbate it it's as if there is an inch of take up slack somewhere before the power connects to the wheels. Engine mounts been replaced with OEM so it's not that, I checked the gear box rubber mount and that looks ok, not split or worn out. Clutch changes at 70k, it's not slipping and I certain it's not a clutch related issue. Selecting gears is not a problem. I'm fairly sure I've narrowed it down to inner CV joints, basically because I'm running out of things it could be, and this seems logical. Anyone else experienced this? I've been aware of this slack for probably the last 50k, so it's not just happened, can't say for sure its getting worse but it's the 1 giveaway my cold is old and done many miles. You can feel the slack in any gear, but it's when freeway cruising is most obvious. Cheers for any feedback anyone may have.
