Default ES motor mount inserts in CRX... WOW

Finally got them in and everything put back (less one motor mount bolt that stripped the hole on the crossmember). Car feels amazing now, and fixed like 3-4 probs I've had for a year or more. The car doesn't make a screeching noise when moving from a stop (never understood that one, only happened every so often), the car feels more solid like a newer Honda and doesn't jump back/forth between shifts or when starting from a stop.

The whole suspension feels better, although for a second I thought I was rubbing tires in a turn but it was just the engine shakin the car a bit more than I was used to.

Nearly everything went well, rear mount was a bitch and I really hate it when I screw up something like that last bolt. It was the frontmost bolt that attaches the rear mount to the crossmember. I'm not gonna worry about it right now, if something does go wrong, the poly front mount can hold the engine just fine til I get it fixed.

I have about a full mile on the street I live on and being about 12:30 at night I ran it through the gears to about the middle of 4th, it was really nice how smooth the shifts are now.

Great mod that I should have done sooner, can't beat 20 bucks and shipping time of 4 days, thanks to inlinefour.com, I know some people here don't like em but I got great service and would go to them again anytime.

Cool..... I've got them, but I'm waiting for spring to do my swap...... Did you just place them in the OEM mount, or did you glue them in with silicone like they did on homemadeturbo.com? I was just figuring on inserting mine.

no glue, just insert, they're VERY stiff just like that
