Engine vibrations... are... good!

Having a full racing clutch installed on your car, will get you into some charicat circumstances where you will need to either spin wheel, stall the car, or make a fool out of yourself by entering the harmonic stall-go-stall-go hickup mode.
Whenever you find yourself in hickup node, if your engine mounts are shot, you'll notice the engine ratling arround and that's bad.
So it's time to change'em.
Now why do engine-mounta go bad and then why call the article 'engine vibration is good'?
Engine mounts, on a road car, are made from rubber. There is steel screws surrounded by rubber, that screw the engine to the car chassis, but then, as any good rubber, introduce a jellow like effect, that aborbs engine vibration and restrains it from reaching the chassis, and consequently, your chair... and your ass as a direct consequence.
It's mostly about comfort... and you know how i think: Sophas are comfortable, cars are playstation like toys for men, so zero comfort, all fun and efficiency.

Consequently, after finding out that one of the engine mounts was bad, I brought this:
Now all i have to do is install'em and run the car. 
A LOT more vibration will be felt (good) but also sharper throtle response 
ww:re happy now :)
