Thumbs up Engine Torque Damper

I'm getting the urge to do some more work on the S and i'm considering splashing out on a spoon or J's engine torque damper.

Does anyone on here have one fitted, are they any good or just another bit of expensive under bonnet bling?

It all adds up. just helps keep the engine a bit more stable, thus thransferring half a horsepower to the drivetrain rather than wasted as vibration.

Looks

Not sure if you have to get a modified heat shield, would guess so. Think J's supply this.

Worthwhile getting one ...... IIRC Spoon were also doing one which may be a bit cheaper.
