Engine shake

I just got my new EvoX after 8 years of Prelude.

I notice something that does not seem right.
I started the card and open the hood. The engine seems to be shaking quite a bit. Coolant overfow tank is shaking alot.
Is this normal on this car? Just doesn't seem right to me.

First time openning the hood after I got it 2 days ago.
I'm also gonna see if any other ones on the lot does that.
If not, maybe I should ask for new one if they can't fix it.

If it wasn't reflashed with those dealer flashes it could just be the factory tune and the rough idle alotta people were complaining about. With the engine struggling to stay running from the richness of the tune would make it physically move quite a bit in the engine bay I would think!?

hmmm... rough idle maybe the case.
How many of you here is having rough idle?

I want to be sure so I'll see if the service dealer have an idea.

Install an AMS front poly motor mount if you thing the shaking is bad with the stock one haha.

It is possible that the Rev2 flash could help with the idle vibration a bit, also intake mods with AC fans blowing on the filter can cause issues.

I haven't got the flash yet and I have a lot of shaking at idle. It only dies when the AC compressor kicks in.
