Is the vibration all the time or only at a lower speed?

I found out what my vibration issue was. My e-brake has been screwed up and the brake shoes are pressed on the inside of my rear passenger rotor.

The only things I can think of is that the clutch may not be aligned, or flywheel warped. Or something as simple as the transmission mount being busted.

it vibrates whether i'm going straight or turning like in the vid but don't remember if i ever tried staying at the same speed or stepping on the clutch while it's vibrating. i'll try it out tomorrow.

No it doesnt do that on idle but could possibly be the mounts since I had never changed it before.

Same thing was happening to me on my GSX, sounds like a carrier bearing or something that has to do with the driveshaft.

So your isolator is ripped up and you have never changed mounts? No wonder it has the DTs. Replace those parts and you should be good to go Your car sounds awesome BTW.
