[ Torque Damper ?? ]

[MadSideways]

Recenlty on foreign 240 sites, I have been seeing this part, (located under the front strut bar):

You can see examples here:



and here:



Does anyone in the US do this? I haven't even found anything in the forums about it. I assume it helps to prevent shaking in the chassis from excessive torque of the engine??

projectsilvia.com has those...

I suspect that works somewhat like the solid nismo motor mounts in that it allows torque to be better transferred to the wheels, but, of course, it looks a lot cooler than solid mounts that are under the motor out of sight

Yeah i saw that on the garage pad2y website. They said that they are to stop the engine from excessive movement.

As "rice" as it sounds, they do look cool, well thats until they get "played out"

[slow s13]

man screw the torque damper the babelfish page has replacement 5 lug hubs, anyone get these?? That would be such a simple alternative to the normall way.

wat kind of prices are those on the babelfish site? can't barely understand them

[BuudWeizErr]

richard tang (JDM RICE) has that torque damper. Probably going to be one of my first "suspension" mods.

And wayne @ phase2 sells or is going to sell the 5 lug hubs very soon. I had just barely heard they existed when he was talking about them.

to me it looks like someone just added a piece of plastic to then eingine. I'm sure its much more useful than thus but that was my first impression

[robyc]

i can see one day that some one is going to pull real hard at the line and bust off the damper. :rolleyes
