Suggestions on performance motor mounts?

I have a 2008.5 Manual 5 speed, 2.3L. I have an Ebay Polyurethane rear (second one) and have replaced both fronts.

Not really happy with the bucking and shift feel.

I have a Megan Racing short shift lever and bushings as well.

I'm considering solids, despite the downfalls. Due to how I drive the car. But $600 doesn't sound very appealing. Suggestions?

Update on Infinity Perfect 12.1

Tested it, sounds lovely. Although the enclosure it came in was a bit leaky due to some questionable decisions from the previous owner. Including an LED ring & grille... aaand a couple stripped mounting holes.

So, I sealed them. I don't care about this carpet, I can replace that. I do care about it sounding proper and only the 4 outside holes will be visible.

I also sealed around the larger screws used for the terminal. The handles I made sure were sealed properly and the same for the DC power plug on yhe terminal. I don't need that so I made sure it was sealed off.

Now to wait for it to cure and I'll test it again!

Scored an Infinity Kappa Perfect 12.1 12"

Been wanting one of these since I was a kid 20+ years ago. Dad's friend had two Perfect 10s that he never used and I wanted them so very bad. Never convinced him. Well this 12" popped up with a sealed enclosure for $75!

Tests great on the multi-meter and looks great too. Can't wait to hear it.

Not as large as I thought they were to be honest.

This car brings me so much joy.

Replaced a fender, due to some crinkles caused by me on the wheel arch. The sticker really makes me not want to paint it now 😂 This car is lousy with character.

Repainted the flames finally.

I'm not a body guy, prep was so so. Had to clear the hell out of it to make it look good. I'm a tattoo artist not a painter 😂🤘

Haha, I know this is a piece of work. Literally just extra stuff I slapped together to have some bass in the shop.

So, just got given this matching Clarion for free. Hope everything works.

I have my Eclipse 4 channel hooked up right now. But, I can't not put the matching amps together. How crazy that it just so happened to be the exact model series. Missing a screw and a couple scrapes. But free!

Well, I did a triple in my daily.

Found this old resin coated table top, used it.

Eclipse PA5422 4 channel bridged to each side front components.

Polk DB 5x7 and MB quart old school titanium dome 1.25"

Clarion (forget model) 2 channel is wired except not the rear speakers yet.

Kicker KX600.1 mono that does have the faceplate but all of this is mock up. Going to reinstall interior and adjust placement.

SVS PB12-NSD (original) with a 12.1+ driver upgrade

Eclipse CD7000 head unit

RF bluetooth adpater (RCA/12v)

DFS Bass knob (RCA/12v)

Everything switched and fused.

Interior lights on switch as well.

Soon to have a back seat again for the first time in like 2 years.

New experience with a being I'm unfamiliar with.. Saging my house to rid myself of it.

After a few days of intense anxiety and pit type feeling in my stomach. My girlfriend and I had a very intense experience.. We had been lacking sleep heavily for days. She stayed at my house with the intention of physically seeing me to sleep and then going home.. Well..

Just before I fell asleep, I had this intense muscle spasm that made my whole body tense up and fill me with anxiety.. It felt as though someone had physically gripped my spine.. I wasn't even close to sleep anymore.. Scared both of us a lot..

Then out of nowhere, I just got better... My energy was back, I wasnt tired anymore (over 4 days I got 10 hours of sleep). No rhyme or reason. Felt clear headed again, felt like myself. She even saw the change and we were just both like what the fuck just happened..

Well, we decided we were just both going to go to her house.. She then went out to her car first and waited for me to get my stuff I had forgotten... She said that when sitting out in the car she got a really upsetting feeling and got sick like I was.. We both agreed that something was likely trying to attach itself to us. Potentially because of our shared anxiety of the whole situation. As soon as we left, we were normal and fine..

A little back story on the house..

We demolished a very bad hoarder house.. Unsaveable.. AC unit falling through the roof.. one walk way. No plumbing, bags of diapers, she died in the home and her many cats (about 30 dead animals ashes as well) had started to eat her.. A random wellness check called from a neighbor got the fire department in there to discover her. The energy in that place was.. to say the least very heavy. Very gross, very dark, very.. wrong..

Fast forward, there is now a new house atop the lot..

I have consistently seen a shadowy type figure standing in the door way of what use to be her room. Her and her mother had lived here since the 70s. They both died here. Along with countless animals. We found her Mother's ashes and I took her up to the mountains to properly spread her ashes.

Back at the house, I have to constantly shut that door.. I have known "he" was there. I tried saging about 2 years ago and decided not to because of it's reaction.. I thought that she just didn't want to leave at the time so I decided to not do it again.

After this experience, I will not stand for that. Mother fucker has got to go.

I am actively building intentions as I type this. I have sage out and ready, quartz and rose quartz placed all around the house. My feather I use for the sage, crystals purifying it right now.. Windows open, and energy ready.

I will let you know my findings and the success of this (which there will be success).

This is the most intense presence I personally have felt..

I feel I am more in tune with all of this after years of psychedelic abuse and consciousness expansion. Along with pure experiences such as breaking through on Dimethyltriptemine. I probably spelt that wrong again haha. Anyways, I exist inside my consciousness after all that, not my physical body as my main focus. This stuff affects me a lot.. The person I live with hasn't hardly noticed. I have had a hard time not being depressed the entire time this house has been here and before. So much so that I was driving close to 3k miles a month, just to be out of the house and have good energy...

Anyways, sorry for the long read. Wondering if anyone has had similar experiences.. How it went? Sending all the love to anyone having to deal with this.. Take your space back! ❤️
