wheel hop?

ok here's my question,does anyone know why my front wheels hop when i spin my wheels a bit from a stop!
my old 92 mx-3 would just spin the wheels with very minimal hop to almost no hop when driving in a spirited fashion.
Im hypothesizing it's my motor mounts but im unsure about my conclusion.
Is this the cause of my hopping,or is there another cause?

Yeah check your mounts, The rear mount under the fule filter is a common one to go.

Wheel hop is pretty normal. SRD/cork sport has a new-ish bushing kit to fix it. Check em out.

Do a search. my car has filled motor mounts, and will spin forever if I let it, and doesn't hop at all.
