Engine torque damper installed!

wow, I feel like i am driving a complete different car.
Car feel stiffer, shifting is improved, less in-cabin vibration then expected... I like it!
In summary, the best mod I have after my RSX sway bar!

So almost 250$ for this little damper... but it worth it! (at least for now!!!
).Took me around 45min to install. There is a DIY on the site.

I was able to do 5 turn of the nut to reach the required torque. So it's perfect! There is more pics on the DIY thread.

Guess it really got sent by the pony express
I'd lean and say ask Marc and/or Jamie if they want to attempt the blackout route. That or try to resell it
But you won't win the lottery tonight.. but maybe if you keep playing the same numbers, you'll eventually win.
Just don't forget to include me when you do

Look at some price I found on the CCQ (price are for 4!):
Tokico Blue (HPSerie)
Civic/CRX 88-91 : 360$ tx in.
Civic 92-00 & Integra 94-01 : 360$ tx in.
Civic 01-05 : 500$ tx in.
Tokico White(Illumina)
Civic/CRX 88-91 : 500$ tx in.
Civic 92-00 : 520$ tx in.
KYB GR-2
Civic 89-91 : 300$ tx in.
Civic 92-95 : 320$ tx in.
Civic 96-00 : 320$ tx in.
Civic 01-05 : 500$ tx in.
KYB AGX
Civic 88-91 : 440$ tx in.
Civic 92-95 : 460$ tx in.
Civic 96-00 : 450$ tx in.
Civic 01-05 : 700$ tx in.
Koni Yellow
Civic 01-05 : 750$ tx in.
What do you think of those prices? I am wondering if I should spare some money and buy some, instead of installing my pro-kit on my OEMs.
I guess it's Koni>AGX>Blue>GR2

It is your car, your money Hans. The prices are respectful/decent so it is your decision whether to drop the money into them. The only thing I might add would be to ensure that the shocks are suited for the drop. I believe they are all capable of it, but I am just too tired right now to verify 
As for next sunday/Carfever, though I'd love to go out, I cannot take the hit in pay/expense at this moment.
Opening a store is expensive - especially when we are just spinning our wheels ..

How do you like them so far? Do they come with all the hardware needed to install them? Or do I need some part of the top part of the stock suspension (I don't remember how it's called).
It's for my prokit, so any aftermarket shock should fit!
I am not quite decided... like Karim said, it's my car and money. But I believe in "First time right"... don't wanna install the prokit on stock shock and regret it...

Probably moreso need to do the meet in the Sources area - or relatively close.. or cruise over afterwards (possibly to play pool at Shooters or some arcades at Pinochio's)

Thanks for the "gift" and the kind thoughts. Though isn't it bad to wish good on something that still isn't off it's feet? Hopefully kidding
On the name though
So.. what's new with everyone else? I'm laughing at how clean my car is right now. Maybe it'll get washed Friday.. maybe

Was a thought of mine initially - just to advertise the new store.. but well, I very much doubt it.
So.. how's the weather people?

At least you should leave the beautiful Eternal blue Pearl for your store official color:
