its because you have put a hard mount on thus sending all the vibrations from the engine to the body, its normal.
hope that helps

That's normal mate. Stiffer mount means the vibrations get transferred to the car more.

That's normal. It's stiffer than the normal bush so will transfer more of the engine vibration through the car. As the engine warms up it will vibrate less, although it will still shake as your pulling off at low revs.

also what youll find running harder mounts (i have group n mounts all round) is that sounds get amplified.
ie my box has been rebuilt and i can hear it whining quite abit due to the sound being amplified
