Feelīs engine torque damper

Does anyone know of a place in the us that sells Feels equipment.
I would really love to get my hands on one of those engine torque dampers?

I Get it?! "hands" "Feel's" good one!

Any who, I'd try Mr.heeltoe first, since he's a vendor, gotta support the supporters.

Then try AJ racing or boomplustoys.net, those are some other JDM suppliers.

Good luck

Getting Feel's product takes a SUPER long time, so good luck.

And honestly, any engine damper is the same, does the same thing, such as the J's and SPoon. However, I highly doubt our car can fit the engine damper, as this has been discussed before.

The one they are talking about goes to the rear engine mount which should work for the TSX.

It's hard to tell without examining the design (taking it apart) and testing it out first. However, the adjustment would be more difficult down in the rear for the Feel's.

in simple terms, it holds the engine from not moving back&forth as much...

if you notice when you rev your engine, the engine moves... the damper will hold it to let it move less.

this sometimes contributes to more vibrations throughout the car while at idle.

so your saying with the torque damper it will decrease vibration during idle?

haha if it will, ill probably buy one of these. its not much vibration but i feel that a "luxury" car should not have vibration. thats why it bugs me, my 88 civic vibrates like mad but it does not bug me because its not meant to be luxurious and it is quite old. and my tsx is less than 1 year old

I believe Spoon makes one for the CL7. But I think AJR tried to fit it on a CL9, but it interferred with the AC lines or something in the engine bay. So the Spoon Engine Torque Damper for the CL7 will not work on the CL9.

Not sure about the Feel's engine torque damper. I would love to get some update on the fitment and pricing. It seems to be a nice piece.

Like JTso said, it should be OK for TSX as the Feels damper mounts near the rear engine mount - so nothing much back there to block it

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but is anyone currently running one of these ETDs?

With the debacle that arose from the Ingalls' piece, I'm looking for an ETD that actually fits without side effects .
