Alright, it's been over 2 months since the last post. Has anyone done anything new with this?

thecheat is an unknown quantity at this point

in the last two months I have:

Designed and built my own street lighting kit for my dirtbike.
Bought new tires for the civic.
Crashed and repaired my streetbike
Rebuilt my Jeep wrangler engine.
Installed a lift on my jeep.
and administered several whoopings to fools in the canyons

sadly I have done nothing about an engine damper

yeah. It was really stupid. very hard uphill righthand switchback and I had just checked the road for debris going down. One of the cars going up must have been overheating cause there was a huge coolant stripe right across my line. I was only going about 25 but it still sucked. Its amazing how fast you are on the ground, I had no time to think about it and I was sliding across the pavement. All my cool expensive gear worked though so I'm fine, glad I got the good stuff though.

thanks for asking

I used to have one of those on one of my motorcycles, it helps steering, but it may cause undue stress on your motor, if the motor and tranny raock a little during hard acceleration that's ok, when you let off the pop right back, but if you put that dampner on there you might break something.
