Anybody know if these would work on our 5sfe celicas?

There's a guy that already makes them for the Celica mounts.

I looked up the MR2 mounts on ebay, and the rubber seems to be different inside of them.

Either way, the ones that the guy makes on here are only about $50 shipped compared to the $90 plus shipping for those.

The speedsource full mounts for the NA MR2 should fit with little to no modification.

I asked David Hawkins (TwosRUs owner) to measure the speedsource full inserts for me and they came out to be 2 15/16" (the diameter of the bushing that goes into the mount hole,this is the one that matters the most and it's very close if not exactly the same) and 3 1/16" (outer diameter that can be shaved down if necessary) diameters IIRC, which came out to be similar to the stockers (F&R) of the GT 6GC. Here's a couple pics thanks to Malhar showing the inside diameter of the mount base (along the steel bushing that holds the rubber together):





I haven't gone ahead and done tried it, but I'm pretty sure the MR2 N/A inserts will fit the 6GC GT mounts perfectly.

Speedsource inserts are different (and better) compared to Kirk's mount inserts.

This is the kind of inserts speedsource sells (full inserts completely replacing the soft rubber part of the stockers.

Trust me when I say the kirk mounts aren't enough for a high-abuse/high-powered application. So unless you're staying stock, get the speed source ones.

Thanks! Thats exactly what I was looking for.

As for the Kirks they're definitely not off the table, the price is great.

You are the only person I've ever heard say anything about the kirk Mounts not holding up under those conditions?
Have you had a problem yourself or any proof to back up that statement?
99.9% of us that have poly mounts have the kirk mounts on here.
If they weren't good under a lot of abuse I'm sure it would have surfaced a lot more by now

My engine still feels pretty loose considering all engine mounts are new and the f/r engine mounts are filled with the kirk mounts. There's a lot of improvement from stock, yes, but it left me wanting for a more stiff feeling.

Wow
I had to put mine in with a hammer lol
My v6 doesn't move at all

[mkernz22]

Even with mounts that are still probably the original one, I put the Kirk inserts in and it stiffened the engine up a lot.
I only have the 5s, but still, everything vibrated for they broke in....and things still do vibrate lol

Maybe that's why lol. Mine just slipped on and sat flush with a little squeezing.

I could feel the engine vibrating more yeah but it still feels somewhat loose.
