Track Dog Racing x AWR Product Motor Mounts for 06-15 MX5

Design updates: 

• New welded inner barrel bushing support
• If you plan on running a softer durometer in a high horsepower build for NVH concerns, we have designed a new barrel that prevents softer durometer bushings from sliding back and forth over time due to excessive heat and power.
• Shorter profile mount
• At AWR Racing, we released our initial NC engine mount concept when the chassis was released in 2006. Over the years, this platform has gained much more aftermarket support. A popular upgrade on these cars are aftermarket exhaust headers. Some of these headers are very beefy which result in less space on the passenger side of the engine where the mount bolts to. Aftermarket exhaust headers get very hot, which is not great being right next to a polyurethane bushing. After lot's of time exploring options in R&D and street/track testing, we are happy to release this shorter profile mount. Not only does this create more space, it also allows room to install a heat shield on the passenger side mount to prevent bushings from melting or deteriorating. This improves the longevity of our bushings - especially those who are running a softer durometer option.
• Exterior bushing retainers
• Bushing retainers are supplied with these engine mounts to help keep bushings in place. If you have a higher horsepower build but excessive NVH from harder bushings does not sound good to you, these retainers help allow high HP builds to run softer durometer options without worrying about bushings being replaced constantly after track and autocross sessions.
• Heat shield - great addition for those running aftermarket exhaust headers
• If you are running an aftermarket exhaust header, it is recommended to run a heat shield for bushing longevity to prevent the excessive heat from melting the polyurethane bushings - especially if you are running a 62 or 70 durometer bushing option in your engine mounts. If you are running a stock header, a heat shield is not necessary but can still be installed.

What durometer is best for you?

At AWR Racing, we have been making high performance Miata mounts since 1995. We have updated our Miata motor mounts to a larger bushing size which helps reduce NVH, specifically reduce cabin vibration. Alongside a bigger bushing design, we have launched our tested and proven 62 durometer Energy Suspension polyurethane option which is perfect for daily and street use. Are you looking for stability without much NVH transferred to your vehicle? 62 durometer is the perfect solution for you.

62 - 70 durometer is recommended for daily driving with little to no mods.
70 - 88 durometer is recommended for lightly to intermediate modification levels.
88 - 95 durometer is recommended for highly modified street and track builds.
You can always opt for a different durometer if your first choice doesn't suit you needs, all of our bushings can be swapped out or replaced!

• 62 durometer (ultra soft)

• 70 durometer (soft)
• 88 durometer (medium)
• 95 durometer (hard)

Initial NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) will start to settle after about 500 miles driven. 

Included in kit: 

• Passenger and driver NC engine mounts
• Optional - heat shield

Contact us today to order a set or learn more. These upgraded mounts are highly recommended for both naturally-aspirated Miatas with more than 100K miles and especially any Miata that is running a forced induction system.
