Problem after ingalls "stiffy" install
so i put on an ingalls torque damper on my 03 EX yesterday, and today my ABS and BRAKE lights go on. anyone have any experience with this? the install was tough enough and now i get this, im about to just give up on it and sell it. here are some pics. any help would be appriciated.




Re: Problem after ingalls "stiffy" install
when u install the torque dampers... did you relocate the resevoir for the brake fluid or did you just move the lines around it.... you may be pinching a line for the brake fluid... check your brake fluid level, and then get back to me if thats not it

****EDIT: Dude! You installed your Stiffy backwards!!!. Flip that bitch around and you'll have a lot more room!****
^^^ Good idea. It also looks like your clutch reservoir is pressed up against your brake fluid reservoir. I just zip-tied my clutch rezzie to the brake master cylinder to get it completely out of the way (you can just see the green zip tie in the photo). I also loosened my ABS module brackets when installing my Stiffy. Once it was in place, I tightened the bolts back down on the module. It gave me a smidge more clearance. Its possible any number of these things are causing your problems.

Can you show me of which bolts you loosened on the ABS unit? Im having problems installing mines. The ABS units needs to be move about 1/2" on mines.

Re: Problem after ingalls "stiffy" install
ok, problem solved, somehow the fuse in the black box thing came out which made the abs light come on. so i pushed that back in and everything works again
. and i dont think in stalling it backwards would have any effect on the performance of the product.

True, it just seemed have more room mounted that way.
I just realized that mine is one the wrong side of the chassis bracket. Jesus. I can't win for losing! Here's the pic from their website, which matches yours. Doh!!

Re: Problem after ingalls "stiffy" install
You need to move it a half inch? Mine did not move that much, just enough to have a little wiggle room to get the dampener in place. If you need to move it that far you would probably have to put new holes in the ABS mounting plate. And then potentially run into problems because there isn't enough play in the lines to accommodate that much of a position shift. Sorry man, but post a pic of the spot and we'll see what can be done to make it fit.
