Feel´s engine torque damper does not fit.

[h1coupe]

I had to find out the expensive way that the Feel´s ETD does not fit our cars. because our steering wheel is in the left side, a part of it is in the way of the bracket that attatches to the engine mount.


so 600dollars into something that I can´t use

should have asked i knew this already. neither does spoon or j's racing.

$600 for an engine damper?
Surely more like $300 ish?

If you search Google, you'll see Oz Honda forums - a member there (ALN) bought one for Au$370 - which is US$308.
Can't see the item on Feel's site - so don't know what the ¥ price is, but if it is circa $600, then someone somewhere is having a laugh by the sounds of it.

Of course, if h1 imported from a US dealer, then he may have paid 2 sets of import duties and shipping, which will have raised the price. But even so, $600 sounds way out.

So any Engine Torque Damper will fit the TSX???
A lot of people on the RSX forum use Ingalls Torque Damper and ESMM, anyone knows if we can use?

Also, does our engine (especially modded) needs Motor (Engine) mount? A lot of those are are breaking the OEM mount w/ Race Header and other mod.

I don't think the engine damper is $600 man, if it is, you better go back to the person who sold you it. Normal engine dampers are around 200-250?? Maybe, so I don't think the FEELS will be that outrageously priced.

total price I paid for the damper was 395aud dollars = 21000 ISL krona, then I have to pay 13500 ISL krona in customs and vsk. so 34500krona which is around 560dollars. so 600was a little off.

It was just stupid of me to not even look down where the damper would reside on my car. I just had seen 2cars with the damper installed and I didn´t think about that they had the steering wheel on the other side.

damn, that is an expensive mistake.

[h1coupe]

every mistake you make when you live in the middle of nowhere is an expensive mistake

I think the regular one is more like 100-150

^ That's what I thought too....until I went to AJ-racing's website and saw the J's racing damper.

If you don't mind the enigne vibration transfer to your steering wheels at idle, just get any brand of engine damper, they are not big difference at all.

There was a thread about this a little while back.

Very expensive lesson indeed which could have been circumvented by a 10 second search.

Use the search function guys...there are lots of info on this site.

there is nothing in that thread that tells me that the Feels torque damper should not fit, all it tells me is what I was allready aware of that the normal etd that mount from the strut to the side of the engine will not fit. the Feel´s damper goes on the back of the engine by the rear engine mount right by the header. and no info that I have ran across told me that that version would not fit.

I have been searching for along time for a etd and was getting bored of waiting so I decided to test this one as it has another mounting point then the usual ones, guess that didn´t help any.
