Do any of you have this?

I swapped an JDM H22A into my Prelude SR **im in canada**. I always get the feeling that my car doesnt drive like a stock SRV. Ive driven other peoples car and then i drive my car, it feels that my car *shakes* more.

Do you think it has anything to do with my motor mounts? might be worn or something?

The feeling i get is that the pedal vibrate quite a bit more than a stock SRV.

Could be the motor mounts, the honda manual says

"After the engine is in place torque the engine mount bolts in the
proper sequence.

CAUTION: Failure to tighten the bolts in the proper sequence can cause excessive noise and vibration, and reduced bushing life; check that the bushings are not twisted or offset."

So there you go

yeah, you've probably forgot to install the rear engine mount...lol...check on it or you've didn't tighten it.
