    Question Any way to reduce 2014 Mirage vibration/engine shake?

    I know 3 bangers are known for their vibration, but still, with so many DIYers/modder guru out here... is there a way to reduce it? EnergySuspension bushings maybe or that would actually transfer all the shakes into the cabin..?

    The only thing I can think of is replacing the original motor mounts with 2017 model motor mounts.

    The 2014's have the least amount of dampening in the motor mounts...right?

    Yes, that's my understanding. Changes were made for the 2015's with more dampening (mine is pretty smooth, barely noticeable on idle in gear). 2017's received additional improvements in the motor mounts.

    My 2015 feels fine as well...but I didn't know they updated them again for 2017.

    Do you know if that's a direct fit?

    And if anyone have some pictures, can they post some picture of the 2017 mount? I'd like to look at the design, maybe they just added more rubber, and if that's the case, using aftermarket ES bushing might be the way to go. I've ES bushing everywhere on my Integra and loved it hehe...

    It should be but looking at the part number between 2014's & 2015's it lists the same number so now I'm not sure what changes were made.

    I wonder if one or the other was simply abandoned and is no longer available - superseded and all that.

    Ok, I found the difference between 2014 and 2015.
    Majority of the mounts remained the same, the only thing changed in 2015 was one of the mounting rod.

    For those who have the 2015 Mirage, can they take a picture of their mounting rod? I've a feeling that they just beefed up the rubber in there, if that's the case, I can either swap it out with ES or just buy some polyurethane and fill it up.
