Motor Mount ?

[///M Powered]

Well at my first autocross ever ( 8) and the best driving experience iv'e had so far),

After our 4 runs we get to go for fun runs. I told myself ok , last one then i have to get home.

After a slalom i take a turn and understeer almsot into a cone :S , and after i come out of the turn, i have a crazy vibration in my steering, actually, the entire car.

So i pull into a parking space and my car is idling like a vibrator on wheels. It isnt like a rough idle, my idle is fine, but my mirrors are shaking so quick that i can barely see out of them.

I take a look and what do i see.......






My questions are:
-Is this an easy fix it yourself?
-going to be pricey?
-any part #'s of the things i need to replace?


ANY input would be greatly apreciated

Max is 18 a side and it's an at home fix for mechanical inclined.

Little tip for the 318ers (without looking at the article).

Undo the bottom bolt for the shock absorber on the passenger side of the engine (goes from the engine to the subframe). It is a royal PITA to get the motor mount if that bastard is still attached.

Replacing Trans & Motor mounts is easy, and there is no reason not to get the poly IE motor ($30) and trans ($35) mounts.
