That is a lot of work campbeam.

I managed to source the mounts with the help of Ryde Toyota.

They are not that expensive and worth installing in on a 27yo car.

I also got the rubbers for the engine x-member front and rear. They are not cheap. The ones on the car now are sold rubber with cracks. I don't see them doing any sort of vibration dampening.

Thank you for the suggestion!

I have tried to join OZCelica but nearly 3wks now and nothing. I gave up.

Also trying to contact the administrator, many times now, results in email failure notice.

All the signs of a welcoming forum it seems. Rolls eyes.

Hi Guys,

I have a 1990 ST182 Celica AUTO with the 3SG-E engine and need some help with engine mounts.

Going by the level of maintenance on this car, it looks as thought this thing has just been run to the ground. 

I am trying to restore it to it's former glory because I think they're cool and it's a shame to just disregard it as a POS!

The front engine mount has collapsed and there is a vibration through out the car at idle, inside the cabin it just drones at idle! (I have never experienced that before in a car at idle).

Question is, are all the ST18X engine mounts the same for eg, are 5SF-E and 3SGT-E the same as 3GS-E?  I will assume that the engine blocks would all be relatively the same externally but I am not sure.

From what I have seen at the wreckers, it appears the 5SFE mounts look the same as what's in the car now. Before I start buying mounts I thought to run it by anyone here that might know better.

Any suggestions?

Peter

Thanks guys!

Hi guys,

I just joined and would like to introduce myself.

My name is Peter, I have a Celica ST182 with the 3SG-E engine and it's an AUTO!

The car was imported from Japan as a personal import, not imported by me though.

It has the live music system with the subwoofers in the doors. It has a few issues like needing new shock absorbers, just general wear and tear but it's a solid machine.

I will post a question or two for help on some issues at some stage.

Regards

Peter
