Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Just had my 02 Targa inspected, and I noticed, standing behind it, that when the guy revved it, the tailpipes would move, right would dip a little, then the left as it revved back down. Is that normal or do I have a bad motor mount or something? Sounded a little rattley.

POST 2Original post

Depends on how much it moved. There is a spec in the factory workshop manuals regarding motor mount 'set'. Fairly simple to replace/update the motor mounts if you prefer.

POST 3Original post

all car do that. maybe u never notice that before.

POST 4Original post

The engine, if there is any give, will rotate from right to left when accelerating, NOT left to right. This means that your left pipe will dip lower and not your right pipe. If the engine is mounted properly, there is barely a noticable movement of pipes.

POST 5Original post

Of course there is always the issue of left/right confusion wen dealing with cars (is it your left when looking at the front or rear of the car).

POST 6Original post

It is the PORT side. He stated he was standing behind the car. If his right tailpipe drops on acceleration in nuetral, the engine is running backwards.

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Well, I was standing on my head at the time. I could've got it wrong ;-) I never noticed my 993 doing that, but I never looked for it, either.

POST 8Original post

It's called HP/TQ....
