Default HCP mounts - driving me crazy

No i have nothing bad to say about them yet , but MY GOD are they solid!! The entire car is buzzing with resonance now- is there anything i can do to combat it? I have all 4 mounts installed too, im guessing it wouldnt be quite as harsh if i took off the front one, correct? When its idling and you have the hood popped its as if the motor isnt even on its so still. Its liveable, but for reference it makes the car louder inside than an ITR on the freeway when you are cruising.

Welcome to the world of eurathane mounts. All of the mount kits out there running the eurathane have some sort of vibration to them.

I have the HCP mounts and I love them! Don't really mind the vibration.

Just make sure to check all your fasteners and bolts & nuts to make sure you haven't lost any from the vibration j/k

Well since I was used to drive a Type R with i/h/e and bouncing from being on 17's and lowered, if it sounds like that, I'll be happy!!!

I have the mounts,too,so here's my 2 cents-you're going to have more vibration than stock no matter what because of the urethane.I wouldn't remove the front mt-it's there for a reason and that's the way Honda does it.Look at the rear mt.Notice the large diameter?Does the mt. touch the firewall?If it does,a lot of your extra vibration could be coming fom this.You can dent the firewall(carefully)for clearance like you had to do your left frame rail for the alt. pulley.I know this is impossible w/the motor in the car.I plan to pull my B16a when I install my GSR YS1 and clutch(much easier w/the motor out!)and I am going to dent my firewall and my left frame rail for some more alt. pulley clearance(it's really close right now).I'll let every one know if this helps w/the vibration-I think it will.

Here's a trick:
instead of torquing the motor mount bolts to 50ft lbs, torque them to fifteen or twenty. Then put locking nuts on the end of each bolt. Make sure you properly torque the locking nuts.

Also, check the front mount to make sure its not rubbing against the crossmember.

My car vibrates like NUTZ. Worst when the car and the eurethane is cold and it's idling about 1800 RPM. SUCKS. I always think my engine is coming apart on me

Mine is pretty shaky but I have gotten used to it after a year. Tighten bolts down, use loc-tite. I lost my front strut bar bolts and two of my steering rack bolts. That was not fun.

I lost 1 steering rack bolt and the other one was halfway out. My car would shudder so hard and I couldnt figure out what it was.
