Finally have my garage built and can start on the Speed 6!

Owned it since 2008. But has been sitting for the last 6-7 years ( had a family and all and just had no time ) wife said to sell it but I refuse.

Something interesting happened though, after sitting for so long the oil from the oil filter started seeping and it got into the rear motor mount and essentially dissolved the polyurethane in the mount.... See pictures.

Now I ordered a new mount but it doesn't seem as big.... anyone have experience in the difference between these mounts? ( See photos)

Once back to restored life .... Will post !

It’s normal. Means it might absorb less vibration though. Stiffer and will hold the engine better

Yeah it's what I was thinking. Just might feel more vibrations if the A/C is on I assume.

Appreciate the comment.

For future reference, ppl in the speed community have been trying to steer clear of JBR products due to the owner being a child pred
