I have to disagree, I can go through a turn and cross into vtec without throwing the balance of the car off after installing the ETD
Extremely sorry,but,...
With the amount of torque generated by a four banger,you'll never notice a difference.
That was true,with torque monsters V-8,way back when we were using,chains,and steel wires.
But,I want one(preferably in RED),cause it looks sweet.

if you got it off ebay, make sure first off that you actually got the S2000 specific bracket with it, otherwise you wasted your money
One could argue that even if he got the right stuff he still wasted his money....

personal ability to feel the difference I guess, really doesn't matter

I noticed a huge difference inbetween shifting. Sure seems like I got the torgue to the ground a little faster.

when the dampener is connected to the strut and you point it at the engine, its pretty obvious where it connects. There is a hole on the side of the engine that should line up with the dampener provided its made for our car.

Unfortunatly, I have no picture though

you know it would have been easy had the damper i got came with the brackets on the proper side. i bought a used one from a member in the FS forum and he just took it off and put the brackets back together on opposite sides. once i switched them around it was obvious it lined up with a hole in the engine block (which he didnt provide a screw for me either) that you speak of.

i got the bolt from orchard and put it on, fits great! took it out for a little spin and i havent been able to tell much of a difference yet but i will when i am able to take a more spirited drive.

Hey guys, I've got the damper from Ebay, but upon opening the blue tube, it is empty. What kind of oil should I put into? Thanx.
