      Who Wants New ENgine/Tranny Mounts?

      Okay, so I've talked with another contact of mine concerning making engine mounts, tranny mounts, and the UD pulleis for the Aveos. Since they already build many parts for GM based cars, they are willing to add the Aveo to their lineup IF there is enough interest shown.

      Again that means I will send them a link to this post and they will watch it to see what kind of interest there is.

      I copied an example of their work to show for you all here, but remember these are not the actual Aveo parts.

      I would be interested in getting some if I wasn't on a lease and money wasn't as tight. That and first on the list of things for extra car money is the Brace that fabricatorx has built.

      Have you considered making polyurethane inserts to go in the stock mounts? They would be fairly cheap to make/sell and they can be removed easily.

      Also, the rear torsion bar has mounts similar to the motor mounts and could probably benefit from this as well.

      ugh! i need more overtime, just give me time! it seems like whenever i have no cash there are parts in need of buying. DAMN this world for having everything backwards on me.
      You can not commit crimes in a Aveo. Its just not fast enough.

      I've just over 21 000 km and I think my mounts are goners. Engine really jerks when I get on the gas or let go of it.... Time for warranty.
      I leased Pontiac Wave from September 2006 to August 2011.

      Mine didn't move much either, but after stiffening the mounts the power just felt more responsive getting to the ground and shifters were much smother
