Was looking around underneath the car today (do this ever so often.. like once a month) and todays topic was in the interest of motor mounts/tranny mounts (l0l). I did not seen any obvious sign of one completely breaking (orange nonsense everywhere) but the following pics do concern me:
Passenger:


Driver:


Mind you the pictures is taken with the engine raised slightly off the ground.

Now due to me being lazy I did not completely take them off like everyone suggest, and I didnt want to take them off broken and have to wait a week for a new set. So does this look like a sign of bad motor mounts? When lowered you can not see the opening at all. I have seen pics before of motor mounts being destroyed on the s2000 with the mount being crushed. If they are on the way of going bad and I would just being replacing them for preventative maintenance then I wont replace. If its yes they are bad then I will replace or upgrade. Trying to save up and get a DD outside of my motorcycle and s2k. Need to save every dollar I can.
Thanks!

Oh and a few details I should have mentioned:
-AP1 MY01 114,000 miles
-Doesnt vibrate too bad, but when my feet are on the floor at idle seems like I can feel the engine move (kind of like a misfire, but no misfire). Probably is normal because its not all that noticable

 

As a full time technician, Ill be happy to let you know you're fine. The driver side does look like its slightly damaged but thats normal for mileage and years on the bushing. You can replace it for peace of mind but i wouldnt fret.
