Impossible to read and understand Gaza.
You need desperately to use "spell check" and understand how to use the words "break" and "brake correctly and learn to use "caps".
Have a nice day at work.

@gazagold13 its not just staying between speed limits that makes one a legal driver. The way they accelerate, brake and corner can bring one under the attention of the law. Such ‘fun’ driving can indeed result in a ticket for careless (or hoon driving and vehicle impound if you’ve lost traction, even for a short bit). It’s ver6 much up to the discretion of the officer, guided by the attitude of the driver.

But back to the engine mounts for a bit, it’s odd that they keep breaking. Even with heavy launches and careless gear changes, an unmodified V6 shouldn’t see repeated failing mounts. So I suspect something else is going on.

Maybe the vehicle has been in a smash and the drive line isn’t aligned as it should. This could potentially be contributing to your repeated mount breakage.

Has the car been inspected for accident damage and that everything within the drive line (engine gearbox drive shaft diff) meet up as it should and at the required angles? Have you checked with a mechanic as to why the mounts are failing? Is it one mount or both mounts that fail. What about the gearbox mounts?

Something is odd as mounts simply shouldn’t fail on a standard SV6 at the frequency you suggest. Highly modified SV6 yes but bog standard... no way...

We need more info about the car and what your ‘fun style’ of driving really entails as it’s off to go through 3 sets of mounts in a year (and I’m curious as to what the cause is).

Of its only solid mounts your after, well some engineering shop could be able to help... or at least tell you why it may not be a good idea...
