They're technically for the rsx... so if you search for those, you'll find 'em.

[SiBoy]

Motor mount inserts are definitely worth buying, here is a link where you can buyem for 19 + s/h.

[IchBinEinSiR]

I'm assuming that we use the motor mount inserts for the RSX?

Picked up my car this morning after having the ES Motor Mounts installed. My impression: When I first turned the key to on, I was startled by the vibration in the steering wheel. However, after driving the car for 20-30 miles, the motor mounts were well worth it. The car just bites much harder than it did with the stock mounts. Overall, I'm really impressed with the $17 mod. Track times will really tell me how much they have helped come this spring. If you don't mind the vibration while idling, this is a must.

I also had the Hondata IM gasket installed at the same time.

If you are accelerating hard, and then just let off the gas, does the car kinda rock like it did before or does it feel like it costs with the inserts in.

also, when your in lets say 2nd @ 30mph and you hit the gas, does it feel like you said "bite" harder? like the power is more there then before?

I ordered mine already waiting for them to come in.

[1fastminivan]

just a question.........what are the cons on these motor mounts??? anything that will damage anything?

[03EP3Si]

I installed my ES inserts alittle while ago. The car feels great with them on.. i dont care for the vibrations at idle. they seemed to have calmed down anyway. the car feels much more resposive. great mod for the price. well worth it.:D

No rocking. Gear shifts and turns are way more precise and have less lurching involved. Id say best damn mod ever for our car. Who cares about the fucking idle anyway ... its not that rough -- I told my friend who has a 97 civ to check it out ... and he was like "what rough idle?"

[1fastminivan]

is there a "how to" on this? any instructions?.....my uncle has done motor swaps (not Bseries swaps) on hondas so should he be able to take care of this?? is there anything different than the older hondas?? Sorry for the dumb questions but Im very interested now and Im going to order asap!:)

[super_si_45]

on a 1-10 scale how hard would u say install is, and est. time on install? also, i have the greddy kit, would this effect in any way (as far as downpipe, turbo, etc. back there)

[!@#$%]

these would be a necessity if you are boosted. I have them, but don't plan on installing them. Eventually (soon) I will get them to nemesisitr if he doesn't buy any first.

[super_si_45]

its true man, before i got boost, wheel hop was pretty bad, now, whoa, absolutely terrible, no off the line punches for me until i get them, period.

[brendanSI]

Put mine in over the weekend. Finished a 4:30AM in the garage. Well worth all the time and problems i ran in to. Take mine and a lot of others advice: Take The Down Pipe OFF. Ohh yeah and I would imagine it would be easier with an extra set of hands lol

[styllinep3]

i got about 2000 on my ES inserts. the vibrations are all most completely gone and, they were bad at first. i dont even know they are there anymore. they really do make the car bite nice. like power was there the whole time not making it to the wheels. corners harder too . i can on stock tires burn off first nice now if i want to . above 4000 thousand the stockies wont hold but, below that its bite nice. i need better tires. they are definateliy worth the money and effort.

g

oh yea and brendansi is right . take off the down pipe and start with the back mount.
