Ghetto version

Looks fine to me but many people like pink on this forum...! I've sourced a 400-series engine damper to make one but if you do get chance to make some brackets up I'd buy a set.



I'd be interested to know what you/Jim think of it also, how it helps with torque steer....cheaper than a proper LSD (and gearbox to match, for me)

Hard to tell really still pulls me all over the effing road.

[claymore]

well mine doesn't torque steer at all now, can you pm me the length of that damper and I'll see what I can do. (the damper length question is to both Jim and James)

Car's not parked at my house so it will be a couple of days for that info sorry

I'm told by the forum's 400-series expert (thank u, Steve Sideways) that the distance below is approximately 205 mm (between bolt centres)



This was with the damper installed so compressed length.

//edit

sorry for thread hijack, Jim, but thanks for the idea...!

you do yourself a disservice, sir, not everyone puts up with the punishment TWO 400 series & a 'mini kraken', as you put it, can dish out

This is the one I used, it might have dimensions in advert ( I have not looked)

Look at this on eBay:

That looks to be 300 mm or so, I'm about 100 mm short....story of my life..!

I'm all over this idea lads, I'm in the process of getting a program made up in work to make them on the water jet.
I have sourced a damper off a hood on a cnc machine but I'm not sure if it's too stiff..
I've got a vast selection of rubber bushings so will have a play when I fit it to try to remove the ps pump vibration you spoke of Colin.
Be great to rid my car of the torque steer.

I would be keen if an ME7 version could be made.

Be patient.

[MoleT-5R]

Be patient.

there's plenty of time, his car was still in bits, which would be ready first the me7 damper or the SSB ?

I think I can answer that - SSB

[Biff]

I'm happy to help if I can with relation to getting the brackets made but materials may be an issue.
