what would it take to be able to jump a civic 4 door i dont mean high i mean like a foot or 2?

the motor mount on the front of the tranny i keep haven to replace it is there a better one than stock i can buy or is there some thing i can do to make it not break? i dont get why it is breaking.

jumping it... i don't know, but as far as the motor mount pickup a Energy suspension mount I would be damn if you can wear that one out.

If you really want to jump your car... depending on where you live, I'd say, hit a sharp mound on a dirt road at 50-60+ and f*cking hold on, then you better know what you're doing when you land... LMFAO

yeha once you lose traction its hard to get it back after a jump, as for the mount how many have you been through , you sure your fitting it right, dont see why you would be eating mounts unless your running major power

I used to jump my 83 accord dx.... got about 3 feet of air... i found a dirt road with some awsome drops and i would just sail off the top... gotta check out your landing before you go tho or youll really mess up your suspension.... gthe best landind is on a downward slope or the landing will eff it all up

fu<k the front mount...its useless anyway...they always go bad. You don't even need it. It's not going to stop the motor from being looser than it already is. I've never run with one.

lets see here.. .cars I'v got off the ground. First car I ever got off the ground was a 95 ford escort.. got it about 4 feet off the ground and bent the frame. Got a 96 buick regal about 6 inches and messed up the alignment/toe on the front. Accidently got the back end of the 88 hatch off the ground about a foot, didnt break anything that I know of yet.

me and my buddy were offroading in his old impreza and we drove it off a 6 foot cliff thing right into a ditch... crunched up the front end but it still ran..... that was fun....

My old rally beater 87 tercel hatch that I sold my nephew for 3 bills was used by him to launch off a tiered yard hooked to a chain to the back of a jeep and sored the thing over peoples head 6ft+ in the air... still ran for awhile after that too. I've only gotten about 1ft off the ground rallying my car. Try drifting on dirt roads first so you can know what to do regaining control of the car before you start jumping shit and trying to figure out your going to avoid trees.

How about: Dont be a fucking idiot??
Fuck being polite, cut this shit out. You wanna jumpo, buy a peugeot xr or better? (I've launched an xr at 140 over s speed hump about 1ft or so up.) is this a "look at me Im badass post" or are you inbred?
