Welcome to the Michigan FBody Association website.
The Michigan FBody Association is a centralized website for FBody enthusiasts to discuss what's going on in the Michigan area. MiFbody.com was created to allow for an easy one-stop place to find out what's going on in Michigan as far as FBody events, to find out what clubs are available in your immediate area, and for an easy place to post classifieds for items you want to sell! Our goal was to create a more close-knit community of FBody enthusiasts in the state of Michigan, and to bring Camaro and Firebird enthusiasts alike together for some amazing FBody events!
The most important thing to know about the Michigan FBody Association is that we are NOT a club! The Michigan FBody Association is open to everyone, and is a community. Thus, we will have get togethers, casual cruises, events, and such like that, but this is not an exclusive club and it's 100% free to join this site! So what are you waiting for? Register now!
If you have any problems with the registration process or your account login, please contact us!
Sweet man! What did you end up going with (color, options, etc)
Put my new poly engine mount in tonight, pretty straight forward install, minus the fact i knocked the fitting out of my heat exchanger circuit reservoir, so I had to re-epoxy it in, but whatever.
Stock one
Stock mount out
A comparison between new and old: Cast Aluminum and rubber vs 1/4" steel and 6061 Aluminum with a poly bushing - powdercoated
Installed
The whole package
Now...I feel...a lot more vibrations - like a ton more, and makes more noise. I do hope it settles (like I've been told it does). I'm keeping my stock one for the time being, just in case... The noises my engine made before is definitely magnified now... I don't know if I really like it or not...
I haven't launched from a dead stop, but that'll tell me if it's much different or not. If not, stock goes back in...
Gone but not forgotten: 1986 Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z
what is the purpose of it kyle? Kind of like solid motor mounts of a poly trans mount?
It's a poly engine mount, supposedly helps get the power to the wheels a lot better. Didn't notice much different from a roll - but I think from a dead stop would be where it would be noticed. I'll test that out tonight, haha.
The off idle (transitioning from idle to revving) vibration right now is absolutely insane, and it was present with the stock [extremely soft rubber] mount - but you couldn't feel it or hear it as much.
Anyone who rides in my car until it quiets down will need a disclaimer, haha.
