New parts.

Look what came in the post today..... Still waiting for the strut brace and heat shield to come.

Thanks Timo! I'm excited to get the other stuff so I can fit the torque damper. Let's see if it makes a difference in handling and if it reduces the vibration under hard driving.

I'm looking forward to meeting some of you someday on a meeting or something.....

Gruesse,

Here we go. It was a real pain to fit the upper hose due to the lack of space but finally after almost 3 hours, everything was done.

Still waiting for my J's strut brace.....

Samco silicone hoses. It's for the bling factor!

Finally got everything I needed and finished fitting the parts last week. The J's heat sheild does not fit properly and so I used it as a template and modified the OEM sheild.
It looks great and works great. Less vibrations and a smoother shift. Under hard driving the whole strut brace package feels stable and smooth, around bends and even on straights.

Here are some pics....

The J's strut brace looks exactlay like the Cusco strut brace, except the color: the Cusco is blue, the J's is yellow.

Hi Marcus,

It definately looks very similar....

I bought the damper when I was in the States last Christmas, it was cheaper than ordering it in Europe. Yeh, it was a bit pricey but that's what I had to pay for a clean strut brace combination. I guess sometimes expensive things come in small sizes!

If it's worth it?.....well, that depends if you really want it! I must say though, I can definately feel a positive feedback.

Gruesse,
Francis.
