engine torque damper for ST models Options

[bizzerk]

I looked around on the site and found nobody with an engine torque damper in their Celica's. Then I ran across something on club corolla and decided to give it a shot. Here is the link to the DIY http://www.corollacarclub.com/forum/showth...t=engine+damper.

here is the damper installed on my celica.


Had to make some adjustments of my own so I didn't follow the guide.


I was pleased with the results afterwards.

Prevents rocking of the motor basically stabilizes movement

The mounts are attached to my strut bar brace and the other end is attached to the engine mount.

I've only seen one for the ST202/ST205 made by "Pit Road"

The item is designed to absorb extra torque placed on the engine during all sporty driving. It will reduce extra movement of the engine resulting in quicker engine response. In addition the item will help reduce the stress on the exhaust system joints and smoother shifting between gears.

now the only problem is price

These are a definite alternative to poly mounts as I had poly mounts on the OEM New mounts and noticed the rear one had been damaged after a year.

Anyone have this on their beams or 3sgte swap?

Btw rusty their is no rule that says I can't bump old threads. I just read forum rules and #3 states I can reference old threads. It's better than making a new thread. I see members creating new threads to answers that already exist on 6gc.
