whos got one?

just installed it. took about a hour bc of figuring out how to mount it. i feel more vibrations inside the car which isnt a problem and its not that noticable. still have to test drive it and put longer and stronger bolts in. the ones that came in the package are short and i dont like it.

best part. its not made for our model, but still bolts right up. no cutting, drilling, or custom fab required. has plenty of room all around it






next will be the 60a or 80a polly fill motor mounts. then a custom traction bar since one isnt available for us

What was the part number for the NRG damper? They used the same picture for all of them online.

I never found much use for them - puts strain on the train....

Solid motor mounts if you're wanting that kinda hookup.

NRG sells them on their website for $89.99, so there should not be a supply issue.

I think I got it for either an EG or EK Civic for around $60 a piece.

I didnt use the mounting bracket that NRG supplies, I used the stock mounting bracket. I dont have the pictures on this computer though. Right now Im running with only the front one. I lost the bolt that holds the bracket on for the rear when doing the mounts.

Just check it every now and them and make sure its still in one piece. I had to retighten everything 3 times, until I finally put thread tape on everything.
