Yes this is the one i have found but is it good?

First i wanted one from jd tuning but actually they are not available :-(

[AdamB]

I've heard some stories of the Tegiwa doesn't fit properly and needs some modifying to fit. The cusco one is a straight fit however.

Personally I never noticed any difference with or without one.

Engine mount uprated poly bush jobs a gooden! Torque dampers are good for show that's it imo

[mikey4410]

If u have engine polybushes it makes the engine so rigid i doubt a dampner would have any dampning to do whatsoever.for it to do its job surely the engine would have to move.lol

I got engine polybush since about 4 yeahrs and 10000 km. i cant sea any wastage but imo the engine is shaking more then when they was new.

Not much but it is shaking.

Could it be polybush is getting softer after a few years?

I think it is since i have mounted the 6 speed gearbox.

Thats why i am thinking about a torque damper

tbh i think theyr only meant for powerful turbo engines.

when the turbo spools the engine moves pretty sharply and also the engine also moves when changin gear so...........

i myself have a ZEP one, yet to properly get use from it but im sure itl make a difference somewhere

I know its for powerfull cars mine isnt i know .....but for me it feels like it is most shaking while changing from the first to the second gear ...maybe because the first is very short now it is only till 38 kph
