Well, I like my car too much to purposely try and damage it. To each their own, I suppose.

um i wouldn't drive a car with a broken engine mount. you're only asking for more stuff to break. The engine moves around even with good mounts. i can't imagine what its doing now and might even break another mount. Do you know if the engine could fall out, lol?

Rep Power: 234 Food for thought i drove my acura integra after a shop (MODIFIED MOTORSPORTS) put a clutch in it and they never put the front engine mount back in. About 2 weeks later when i broke in the clutch i found out it was missing. When i went to the shop... You'll never believe what these people told me... they said "you dont even need the front mount". That was the last time i ever brought any of my cars to a shop. So the answer to your question... Will it hurt your car? If you keep the rpms low and drive conservativley no. If you drive it like you stole it, yeah it can get bad. Keep in mind the engine always moves pretty significantly even with all the mounts. If your only driving it till you get the new one you probly wont damage anything. just keep your foot off the floor.

wtfno seriously. im sick of hearing this. your car is ****ed up cause YOU FVCKED IT UP YOURSELF. and yet you still drive it, and experiment with it. pick a side and stick with it. either you hate it cause YOU fvcked it up or you like it cause it can handle all the **** YOU put it through.

Rep Power: 234 I dont care if mine breaks 100 times. I dont care if the motors blow up every 100,000 miles I LOVE MY HONDA. and i dont think anything will change that. At least were not the trendy 240sx drivers that talk about swapping k20's for ten years and never do it. wanna know something funny aboot them. Even when there sr20 swapped they still top out at 110 untill you buy this thing from hks for like 1000. And im sick of these DSM posers that talk about how fast there cars are, and what can you expect from a vehicle thats hovering near 200hp stockand turbo. I like my honda because i like honda. Here's something ive learned on my conquest. IF YOU WANNA PLAY YOU GOTTA PAY. If it breaks fix it. And fix it with a part thats better then the one you take out or you may be in there again.
