Here's my long awaited sequel to my How to DIY polyurethane engine mounts video I made almost a year ago.

That video got a lot a of views but it also raised two very important questions:

1. How have my DIY polyurethane engine mounts held up?
2. How do my DIY polyurethane engine mounts compare to stock ones?

In this video I answer both of those questions.

1. Over the course of around 10 months and 1000 miles my polyurethane engine mounts have held up really well. They have not developed any cracks and are without faults. You can see a shot of them off the car towards the end of the video. Yay diy!

2. To compare my polyurethane engine mounts to the stock mounts I recorded vibration, noise and engine movement with the polyurethane engine mounts on the car and took a test drive. I then removed the polyurethane engine mounts, installed my stock engine mounts and then recorded vibration, noise, engine movement and took another test drive. You can see all the details in the video.

Conclusion: Polyurethane engine mounts are great for cars that see a lot of track days, but for something that you are going to daily drive I honestly think that they are a bit too annoying. If your car will spend most of its life on public roads, I would advise against polyurethane engine mounts, since you will be experiencing their negatives most of the time and harnessing their benefits rarely. On the other hand if you have a weekend warrior or a track toy than polyurethane engine mounts are a great idea, because the noise and the vibration will be an unimportant side-effect and you will harness the benefits of a more agile car and a more responsive driving feeling.
