s2000 vibrations
so i got my s2000 a couple months ago,
a 2002 yellow all stock 63k miles for 9k and i got 36k miles 36 month warranty on it
and i always noticed a loud vibration noise right behind the driver seat.
and my gas pedal and break vibrate a lot,
i thought it was normal but its kinda annoying and im not thinking its normal now.
and when the car is idling
the shift knob shakes very noticeably
i only have a invida n1 dual 4inch tip exhaust
and changed the engine oil 1300 miles ago
and changed the diff oil about 300 miles
so i got tranny fuild and im planning on changing it after christmas.
is there anything i should be worried about? like a bad motor or something?
my friend said it maybe the motor mounts but im stumped.
anyone experience this?

Wheel balancing maybe, motor/tranny mounts can cause excess vibrations especially in the shifter but most still have plenty of movement in the shifter from vibrating. It is connecting directly into the transmission.

Shift knob shake: normal for this car (direct rod linkage to trans). Don't try to manually hold it steady; just leave it.
Brake vibration: probably pad deposits on rotors. You can get the rotors replaced or resurfaced.
Behind seat: Probably trim, maybe soft top -- try to find isolate it (maybe with a friend's help). Could be a loose fastener needs tightening, or just something rubbing, in which case you can stick a felt pad on it.
Gas pedal: Not sure what you mean?

and if i press it softly it goes away, but when its just chilling there it just vibrates like crazy.
could it be a bad engine?

None of that has anything to do with a bad engine lol. Possibly mounts..
it but the only way to find out is a compression test or something
