Default My auto-x results (aka wrx killer) Did I break an engine mount???

I did my first auto x last weekend and it was fun as hell and it turns out I'm not half bad at it either. I have a AEM intake tanabe racing medalion exhaust and 17 inch wheels wrapped in ZRi fuzions.

I'm matthew 92' prelude (notice I beat all the wrx's except the STi's)

No, motor mounts are solid metal.

Drivers side DOES HAVE FLUID IN IT. C'mon people.... If you bust it, a lot of dark liquid will explode/flow out of it. What kind of autocross classing is that? Seems like a really wide variety of people in it.. and only by first name?

I can't believe the amount of responses that are completely WRONG. The drivers side is a hydraulic mount... This is the results when it explodes (stolen pics from vwong)

To everyone who has no idea what they're talking about. It's just the oil from inside that shears everywhere when you tear the amount. Just replace the mount, the oil isn't coming from anywhere but the mount.
