I am pretty rough on the car during an auto-cross and wanted to find something a little more permanent.
Sounds like the motor mount is shot.
Not to difficult to replace.
I had to drop my engine an inch or two to remove one or two of my bolts.
I also disconnected a coolant hose or two just to make things easier.
If you need guidance you have the forum.

Yes there are upgraded motor mounts available but I have read that they create a harshness in normal everyday driving.
And they are more costly

Something to keep in mind: (These are just my thoughts).
Anything made with a rubber component= the rubber in the part is most likely made in China. Most rubber products made in china don't seem to last. So if you go for an upgraded motor mount and the rubber component of the mount is made in China you have possibly gained a harshness to you ride but no gain in the useful life of the part. At a premium price.

Question: does your issue only arise during hard cornering in autocross conditions???? Or: does it arise during everyday normal driving (cornering) conditions as well?????
