its actually very simple. I will not go into anythingon how to install the upper mount insert seeing that i've only installed the upper mount itself but..
To install the lower motor mount assuming it is on the passenger side of the car you would jack up the engine on the passenger side of the car, make sure you get the engine not the oil pan. Then you would remove the passenger front tire and remove some of the splash guard so you can get at the bolts. After removing the splash guards there should be two bolts holdiing the mount in. With the engine still jacked up remove the nuts holding the stock mount on. I found that using a power tool was easier
. Then you would just replace that mount with the new mount, some wiggling and pushing may be required to get it in. After that you just torque the nuts back into there places. If they dont line up dont be afraid to lower the engine a tad bit trying to get them to line up better, I had to.
It was fairly simple. If you ordered from ttr I'd bet that there are very good instructions with pictures in there
gotta love ttr !

Soo ya i got some one to help me put the motor mounts in....they work great!! but i was wondering if there is any way to cut down on the noise in side the car???

It is the transmission of the vibrations from the engine to the frame. This will go down some once they break in, in a few hundred miles; however there will always be some more than before.

they do sell a lower mount that was recently released that does cut down on the vibrations. i havn't personally had the pleasure of trying it YET, but over the winter im hoping to finally purchase one.
instead of the steel shaft with the circular bushings you currently have, the newer designed one is made of aluminum and has a different shape to the bushings (the freakin term is eluding me at the momment... ugh) but this different shape helps with the vibrations.
....ya but i just baught one and i don't really wanna get another one(but thanks for the info) soo...is there like anything else besides motor mounts that could cut down on the noise like trany mounts(automatic) or something?

"Youth in Asia"...I don't see anything wrong with that.
the only time i even remotely notice my vibrations is at idle at a light or something with the AC on. thats it. other than that, its not bad at all! i have the TTR upper and TTR new lower.
you could raise the idle rpms to around 800 that should get rid of some of the vibes at idle
but i believe you would need hptuners
I wish i had it,
I have the ttr upper, lower, and tranny mounts the vibes are a little more noticeable
thanks!
