Hi I have a C25XE in my Nova. When accelerating or blipping the throttle the engine rocks, All the bolts are tight on the mounts but I think the rear mount rubber is away. I looks like a standard Nova mount was used. Where would I get a decient but not to expensive replacement? I have filled it with tigerseal type product but I would rather replace it.

autovaux should do one. When doing it fill it with lots of black sealent let it set then stick it on. Heard it helps. couple of people i know that raced them did it aswell. Makes them a bit better under stress mate.! expecially with a v6 :P

Cool. At least if I order one new and fill it, it willbe a bit better. I know you can get competition mounts but I don't want to spend a fortune. Is this what I need

Looks about right, do they come with the metal frame to bolt straight on or is it just the rubber?

lol thats where i got mine from as fair as i remeber. Well cheap and holding up my XE just fine. but yeh copetition mounts arnt the greatest mate believe me they hold the engine at a funny angle as i have heard and they ont make for a comfy ride as all the vibrations go through the car there so solid, plus ive head they have split or gone to **** really quickly. where as standard mounts should last you a time, expecially if you fil them with the black silicone, just put a sheet of cling flim on the bottom and get filling!
when you fill it with poo/snot/wag/silkaflex, put some big nuts in the holes first, then gob it up.
