well my torque damper came in from DEZOD.COM today and i got done installing it about 30 min ago and its amazing! i expected the reviews ive read to be over exagerations but it REALLY IS that good! havent had a chance to launch yet, just took it down the road behind my office and gased it hard through a few gears. only a LITTLE vibration in first from a start. the shifts are SO smooth and down shifts are amazing!!!! no more jerking or sputter or drag or whatever you want to call it. im very impressed with it and DEFFINATLY recomend this for ANYONE! if you race or you dont its a GREAT item to have on your car. the shifts are so smooth itll blow your mind! thanks so much DEZOD!!!!!! and shipping was SUPER fast! dont forget to send me a couple black stickers sometime paul!!!! yall go to DEZOD.COM and check out the damper and other awesome stuff made for our cars!!!!!!

Did they get it fixed to where it will fit with a neuspeed strut tower bar?

 
Rep Power: 281

They fit with the neuspeed strut bar bc my buddy has one but he has the tein ss coilovers and the top mounts have longer studs compared to OEM mounts so he is able to mount it with the strut bar. If you still have stock mounts they probably won't fit with the strut bar bc their isn't enough thread on the bolt to mount it. I guess the only other way is to mount it to another point bc I have this same problem too. And do you have an EX bc the ABS box thingy is in the way too.

What did you do to your abs box?
move it? or is your damper just hitting it or something?

 
Rep Power: 0

yea it touches the side a lil. nothing to worry over though. i looked at the ABS box durring the installs and noticed the bracket and junk its mounted to could be bend a lil and maybe give me another 1/4 inch clearance. thats for another day though i just wanted that bish on the car. i bent it back durrin the install about 1/8 of an inch or so and that helped. the damper touches the corner and side slightly. i had strut bar but im scared to have all that stacked with very few threads to screw the nut back on so ima wait till i get my TIEN full coilovers since they have a lil longer stud and i wont have to worry.

yea its well worth it ESPECIALLY if you race. i havent launched with it yet but just driving hard it feels GREAT! im racing a friend of mine in his neon tonight and ill post up how the launch feels and so on. i need to drive with it a few days to get use to it and get the feel for it being on the car and all to get the "full" effect.

rep me!!!! lol ive ben on here long enough and no rep.... grrr. u rep me i rep you!

Another postive review. I'll rep for that.

ill take that ABS box off your hand if you wanna,,,,

 
Rep Power: 0

lol im not gonna REMOVE the ABS!!!! too many issues to deal with to take that bish off. anyway i ran it lastnight! first off let me say that i have a BADDLY slipping clutch that holds SOMETIMES when its REALLY cold. stop and go traffic with the stiffy isnt much fun but once you have open road its a blast! downshifts are crisp and instead of bogging a lil then grabbing and pulling when i speed shift it grabs and pulls! and the launch! oh dear jesus the lauch! its MUCH better with the stiffy! yall go to DEZOD.COM and get one from them! its worth it! my next purchase is gonna be the full race turbo kit from them and i cant wait! bout to build my D17 to hell and back! i want 300HP and ill be pleased as pie!

Glad you like!!!! Order the black decals on our site and I should have some next week.

 
Rep Power: 0

thanks! i love it! the more i drive with it the more i enjoy having it on the car. taking off at stop lights is a lil shaky and idle is a little shaky too but thats a SMALLLLL price to pay for what it does! im still amazed at how smooth the shifts are now! thans again!!!! ill get on late next week and order some decals! WOOOO!

i would get it but since i live in the city..how bad is the stop and go traffic? and the idle is not stable wit the stiffy? also if i have a neuspeed strut bar wit tein basic then i could install this right?

 
Rep Power: 0

its not SO bad that youll go crazy or anything its just when you start off in first its a little vibration then your rolling. and idle is just a SLIGHT vibration you can feel in the sterring wheel and a barely at all in the seats. its NOTHING bad! haha. no if anything idle is MORE stable! that motor is sittin TIGHT now!!! since its stiffining your motor up the vibration is just a side effect of that and its not bad at all. its WAY WAY less vibration then if you had poly motor mount bushings! and yes if you have nuespeed with tien shocks that combo WILL work.

would there be any point for an auto driver to buy one?

It will help eliminate some of that squat when you punch the throttle.

 
Rep Power: 0

the main point is it prevents the engine from moving so it will get into gears faster and easier, also saving wear on your motor mounts.

sweet deal. im ordering mine friday night i think.

i ordered mine monday and installed it today, reverse kinda sucks ***** now, WAY WAY lots of vibration, and i got alot while idling too, maybe i need to adjust it, i wasn't extremely impressed, shifts are alot smoother, but the vibration thing kinda dissapointed me. not worth it IMO, hopefully i can adjust it and it'll live up to the reviews

can someone please re-iterate for me the situation with using a strut bar. I have a front upper AC autotechnic strut bar, I'm also running TEIN basic coilovers, so I re-used the upper mount. Is everyone saying that I have to ditch the strut bar to use this mod?

 
Rep Power: 368

Nope - I've got a Neuspeed bar on there with no problems. I just had to elevate the other mounts on the bar with washers to match the increase in height from the mount plate. I believe the DIY mentions this, try to dig that up.
