yes motor mounts go bad on the rx8 alot. you can tell by looking at the mounts under the car. when you look at them they have a step that comes off the mount. this 'step' should be about 1/4 to 1/2" away from the aluminum mount attached to the engine. on bad mounts they may touching or very close & those are bad. chances are they are bad. replace both if one is bad.
