Haven't really started on it, but should have something up by next week.. then you can all have a site to call home !
Great idea~!

RX8-8888, that's the kind of vibration I'm feeling now. when in D or even N, the vibrations comes in intermitently with the aircond compressor. The vibration is worst when i just start-up, as soon as you run the car longer (bout 15 mins), less vibration lor.

When in P, the usual vibrations are always there. I looked beneath once, the exhaust and Cat seems to be shaking

Thanks Bro. Really good advice. BTW, checked already. Price of engine mounts in Australia is expensive. AUD 220 each. About RM 550 each. That's Rm 1,100 for both. Not worth it. Somemore the dealerships here confused cause our JDM chasis numbers start with SE3P..... one even asked me "what's that?!!"

Cute lar... just cute...

What about the powerplant frame that holds the transmission?

Thanks.
