well its a built motor with no balance shafts most likely, maybe with billet motor and tranny mounts, its a built car that shoudn't be your main concern, if that bothers you, stick with a lightly modded evo, the way I see it, the faster you go, the more inconvinient it is(excuse my spelling errors lol), this is not always 100% true, but for the most part, twin and triple plate clutches, billet mounts, aftermarket internals and no balance shafts will make it a somewhat of an uncomfortable ride, UNTILL, it hits boost

balance shaft delete and solid motor mounts...I don't have a balance shaft delete but I do have the tq solution mounts and my car vibrates like a mother****er at idle...I just deal with it...I don't even notice it anymore...they definetly make the car solid...I like how it feels with them...now installing them is a different story...lol...

Most likely the result of full-metal motor mounts subjecting its resistance with the engine it is connected to. Definitely not stock.

Somehow I can still drive the car with a driveshaft delete... haha I'm dumb. Like all of you guessed, its the balance shaft delete I was referencing. The side mounts are all actually stock. The front mount is likely stock as well.

I ended up getting the car and the tuner I went to raised the idle to around 1100 RPM which made the car less violent while idling.
