This is definitely my favorite series on Donut and it's so helpful because Zach always does projects and upgrades that are doable and realistic for the average person. The idea of low-key, inexpensive but impactful mods to cars is right up my alley.
I guess Zach just forgot to mention it, that this change also works the other way around. If you start experiencing vibration over time, mostly through the seats while even sitting still at the light in neutral, it's almost certain your mounts are shot to bits. It gets worse if they are oil filled or hydraulic ones. They progressively worsen. Changing them with new brings back the comfort. And always change them all at the same time, don't try to cheap out by just changing one - this will really bite you in the ass. It's like changing the brake calipers only on one side of the car.
Great fix. And great note about avoiding cross-threading. I've found the best way to ensure thread match is to set up the fastener as if I'm ready to tighten (with forward pressure), slowly turn in the direction of loosen until I feel the click, and then turn to tighten. Most nuts & bolts can be blind-aligned this way with little hassle.
This show is great, Zach! You’re a great host of a DIY-style show - knowledgeable and not afraid to get your hands dirty! Can’t wait to see what you do next
@@kennethkruse9267 There's also the issue of a lack of commas, including the period that you mentioned, which shouldn't be a period. Add to that the unnecessary use of the space bar, and a superfluous and incorrect use use of all-caps outside of the quote-which should be replaced with an exclamation mark. Here's what fixing the problems looks like: 'When he said, “BHA WAAAAAAON,” I felt that!' But really, I'm just being sarcastic.

Chris would also panic if he saw Zach throw his torque wrench on the ground - it's a precision tool after all. Also, with all the extensions he mounted on the wrench, it'll have a noticeable margin of error.
@@theuselessknight6021 In fact, the biggest culprit causing that error would be the swivel socket. It greatly reduces transmitted torque with increasing angle --> T*cos(a). If we guesstimated the angle at which he was torquing to be 45°, he would've been below required torque by about 25%.
@@Donut I tested both the 75's and 60's, and also a set of AWR 70's. I like the 60's the best, possibly because the exhaust is decently loud on my car already. I think just the design of the Innovative mounts is great so even the 75's aren't too harsh.
Drew Bond if you’re on stock mounts you’ll find a wild difference once they’re on. Biggest things you’ll notice is more direct shifts and throttle response. Just like in this video my stock mounts were to totally torn in half
Exactly! I replaced all 3 of mine and as soon as I started her up I thought I f*cked up. But the NVH went way down after a short break-in period. Can confirm shifts feel way better.
Khalsa 1699 you beat me to it. Once I replaced all the old rubber on my car with polyurethane bushes and engine mounts. Took me 5 minutes to order stock engine mounts again. The suspension bushes were totally fine.
A buddy of mine has an S13 with a hard mounted engine, it’s rough. Very “race car.” I actually have mounts I haven’t installed in my own Miata yet, after hearing about people going back to stock after using the poly mounts I got the Mazda Speed performance version. Essentially stock rubber mounts, but slightly stiffer. Sounds perfect to me.
Depends on the engine, the engine style, and if theres vibration compensation like a balance shaft. I have solid UHMW mounts in my e30 with an inline 6, and I cant tell any difference. Doesnt move any and because its a naturally balanced engine, its super smooth.
I've got a first gen and a third gen 3 and I still love my first gen more. Granted it's got quite a bit of work (and 88 durometer mounts) but it's just so much more direct than the third gen

This series is hands down a great way of showing you how to take care of your ride and learning alot of what's in your ride to make it work in the first place....good stuff, straight up 👌
Love the show Zach I think it’s my favorite on donut While the Miata is obviously a race car I still want it to be comfortable 😂😂 Thank u so much Zach and all of the donut crew that heart means a lot to me thank u for making my day love u guys ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
This Series in just one week has helped me like crazy, BUT I think I may have done something stupid... I need advice (critical help) because I just got a 1989 Alfa Romeo Quadrifoglio (Spider) and honestly the only thing keeping me motivated is how easy you guys have made me understand little by little the functionality of every single thing working in my car (at least what I need to know to some extent) So Hopefully I can learn enough to show you guys little by little the progress you've helped build.
This is I believe the best show you guys have done since hi low. It is very informative and Zach is a very good host. Makes me want to start a project car.
I JUST bought a car yesterday that needs new engine mounts. I had no idea what that project would entail, but after watching this video I feel a little better about my knowledge. Keep up the good work and thanks for providing guidance for us novice at-home mechanics!
My local store ran out of engine mounts of my toyota corona St190. It had a 2 ltr 3sfe engine with manual gearbox. So I just added polyurethane to the torn bushings and it worked. Loved the way it handled after that. No lag in engine when shifting and moving in first gear. Burn out felt awesome too.
Dude really stiff poly mounts are amazing. I had solid mounts installed on my car for a while and while it was a little rough as a daily driver, the throttle response was awesome.
I love this channel and I'm a huge fan of all the series, but Money Pit is MY FAVORITE. Zach is such a great addition to the team. Keep up the great work!
He ain't lifting an f350 here.. pretty sure he's fine lifting a miata with any harbor freight jack stands, plus it's only for the "paw" to fail, the stand will still hold the vehicle.
You gotta wonder if the aftermarket mounts could be improved to suck some noise while making the connection more rigid. Good series, been watching all of the episodes in a row after finding it and learning some key elements about car build.
2 years late but I had an idea that I have yet to see anyone do(correct me if im wrong though). Its hard to describe but i'll try. Use some very large and soft mounts to absorb as much vibration as possible. Then have a polyurethane or steel rod inside the rubber mount that barely touches the engine. Then, using a tiny motor and a very high torque gear ratio, move the rod up to press against the engine harder. This could be controlled in the car so that when you cruise, you can have a soft ride, and when you want to go "sport mode" you can press a button. I always wondered why cars haven't implemented this yet.
@@jadelees9005 you do. You could potentially over Torque it or under Torque it. Don't take my word for it. Research. Learn. ua-cam.com/video/kTwpA2yJ81o/v-deo.html
Replaced my engine mounts and a couple of other stuff on my car and it really improved the car a lot as the OEM ones allowed the engine to move a lot. So now Im one step closer to be done with my GT build :D Love all content you at Donut Media upload, really made my days a lot more fun and my motivation to peek!
for a FWD car with around 300HP, swapping engine mounts literally shaved a whole second off my 0-60 time, the stock mounts where giving me so much wheel hop, best mod I've done to my car hands down
"This is the way you're supposed to do it, but that sucks, so we're gonna do it a different way and pray for the best" is the most real project car shit ever.
Your bolts lined up so much easier than mine. I have an 01. Using stock mounts I had to detach the bracket from block on drivers side. Bolted the mount to frame on drivers side. Lower engine until passenger side was lined up, then make tiny adjustments w/ jack until I could get engine to line up on drivers side and bolt bracket to block. Big improvement, I went with the mazda comp mounts.
6:53 The best part of this video was the " baa-wooowww" The most perfect replication of what installing a new set of motor mounts into a Miata sounds like.
Javin Jahangir He is supporting the extension, keeping the fulcrum in line with the head of the head of the wrench, hence is the torque going into the extension correct.
I have learned so much watching Money Pit . Zack explains every thing so well . Gives me so many new goals . Thanks Zack. Great work car is looking good.
I literally was trying to decide engine mounts for my mazdaspeed and after watching, I went with the Innovative mounts; they installed just as easy and slick as they did on Zach's Miata.
You;re so right about the change of feeling. I concedentally had to swap 2 of the 3 engine mounts in my car a few weeks ago. It's 20 years old and i got oil all over the mounts because i;m an idiot. I got the new ones in and it feels so much tighter i'm amazed it can feel like that. The mounts were already off when i got it so i never experienced it like that. Even the cluth and shifter feel more precise.
Great video! It’s cool to see the actual work behind changing the mounts, it’ll help loads of people. As for the benefits, I think it’s a bit misleading to say this mod will help put the power down. All it’ll do is increase the rigidity feeling of the chassis, therefore affecting only handling (like you also mentioned on the video). There’ll be no change in the way engine power is transmitted to the wheels.
I just rebuilt the entire front end of my car, need to replace the rear motor mount and the front strut tower brace. Super fun project, learned alot, took about 4 days now I'm just waiting for a chance to adjust the suspension to the right ride height and dampening and I'll be set. The PMM alone made a noticable difference as the oem one was totally shot

Love all content you at Donut Media upload, really made my days a lot more fun and my motivation to peek!
Day 139 of asking James to do an Up to speed on his Dad
🤣🤣🤣
A for effort
yo,what a madlad
Razcal X he’s actually been doing this for that long.
@@AhmadHassan-uk2ff bhai ye sachme itne Dino se kar Raha hai
11:42 something fell off the trunk
Where? And isnt the trunk in the back of the car?
Yes when hes driving he forgot something on the trunk
What was it!?!
It had an antenna on it whatever it was
Looks like something strapped to the back seat.
5:00 I swear almost everyone has done this and somehow not hit themselves in the face lol
Zach you’re a great host. Hope your there for the next season of hi low (you should do a lancer evo)
yesyesyesyes
Dude how you made this so fun and interesting I'll never know. 10/10
for a FWD car with around 300HP, swapping engine mounts literally shaved a whole second off my 0-60 time, the stock mounts where giving me so much wheel hop, best mod I've done to my car hands down
I love money pit like damn zach literally makes it very easy
James do a up to speed on chrysler
And one on Plymouth (RIP).
They should also reach out to Ralph Gilles of FCA cause he's super cool
Lmao they should do just FCA, a long episode. It’ll be about their sh*tty interior quality🤣
@@streetboyz1096 and all their electrical bullshit..💩
"This is the way you're supposed to do it, but that sucks, so we're gonna do it a different way and pray for the best" is the most real project car shit ever.
This show got me thinking and when im gonna be 18 im gonna buy a Miata we have one in town and itss soo sweeet car i love it 🥺❤
yea youre right but the trunk is small as fuck.
Someone needs a 4 cylinder mustang
2:48 thought I saw a baby hand come out of nowhere 😅
Bruh😂
Your bolts lined up so much easier than mine. I have an 01. Using stock mounts I had to detach the bracket from block on drivers side. Bolted the mount to frame on drivers side. Lower engine until passenger side was lined up, then make tiny adjustments w/ jack until I could get engine to line up on drivers side and bolt bracket to block. Big improvement, I went with the mazda comp mounts.
I changed mine in my 3000gt its got them pop ups
Sick bro I have a 91 vr4, how much difference do the motor mounts make?
@@pedromata133 dont question it, get all of them poly. Maybe even diff bushings if your vr4 has them
Oh wow I did the same to my VR4! I did it when I yanked the motor for a tad bit of service, but I went with OEM mounts, not poly.
@@pedromata133 A lot the stock ones made the engine move so much and the car just feels smoother now
Lowkey my favorite show, after Up to Speed 😎
6:53 The best part of this video was the " baa-wooowww" The most perfect replication of what installing a new set of motor mounts into a Miata sounds like.
10:25 Torque is definitely not accurate on that lol
Javin Jahangir He is supporting the extension, keeping the fulcrum in line with the head of the head of the wrench, hence is the torque going into the extension correct.
@@jonasthemovie and then proceeds to slam the wrench to the concrete floor
Here's me looking into them left night and boom!
Donut media helps out 😁
I have learned so much watching Money Pit .
Zack explains every thing so well .
Gives me so many new goals . Thanks Zack. Great work car is looking good.
“The juice has been worth the squeeze.” I like that!
When your engine mount is just to the left side of the engine and all you have to do it's jack it up... That's me lmao
you have fwd, you have it on the left side, also in the rear and in front
I have a red 1989 Mazda Miata N/A and most of it is stock so this series is what will get me through the summer. So helpful and entertaining
4:45 peep the nail holding the jack handle together 😂
I've been wanting to do this on my Saturn sky. I think while I'm in there I'll throw in an LS
I literally was trying to decide engine mounts for my mazdaspeed and after watching, I went with the Innovative mounts; they installed just as easy and slick as they did on Zach's Miata.
9:08 that was some really cool camera work there.The way it followed the engine mount..SICK!!!!!
Yea, this series has cost me my savings account and pissed off my roommates by taking up a place in the garage🤷🏽♂️ totally worth it
What car are you using?
Heck yeah
goD_But_backwards he has a red Cadillac ATS I think. It’s in his profile picture. I love those cars and really want an atsv
You;re so right about the change of feeling. I concedentally had to swap 2 of the 3 engine mounts in my car a few weeks ago. It's 20 years old and i got oil all over the mounts because i;m an idiot. I got the new ones in and it feels so much tighter i'm amazed it can feel like that. The mounts were already off when i got it so i never experienced it like that. Even the cluth and shifter feel more precise.
5:00 laughed so hard. One of those 'I could have died' laughs. Lesson learned haha
Great video! It’s cool to see the actual work behind changing the mounts, it’ll help loads of people.
As for the benefits, I think it’s a bit misleading to say this mod will help put the power down. All it’ll do is increase the rigidity feeling of the chassis, therefore affecting only handling (like you also mentioned on the video). There’ll be no change in the way engine power is transmitted to the wheels.
Money pit series is hands down already my favorite on the channel, love the content, can’t wait to see where it goes!
Mo’Power - mo’ engine movement baby! - and the old mounts are too soft - this is a great subject.
12:34 casually drives through the stop sign 😁
He stopped, looked both sides then drove on like how it is supposed to be done.
that's called the "california stop"
I just rebuilt the entire front end of my car, need to replace the rear motor mount and the front strut tower brace. Super fun project, learned alot, took about 4 days now I'm just waiting for a chance to adjust the suspension to the right ride height and dampening and I'll be set. The PMM alone made a noticable difference as the oem one was totally shot
the last time i came this early my wife left me for zach
I think Zack might be my favourite donut host, sorry James
