heres thier web site:
http://www.hpi.co.jp
go to racing parts, then scrool down to maxeng dampner
jio, now that i think of it, soul assasin (Alf) and Sokudo from the other forum are the official HPI distributors to north america. PM sokudo on the other forum for pricing, or jason from JT imports should be able to get you one also
i'd post a pic of my engine bay with the brace, but vosko turned off the pics on his server again

Yes. Smoother shifting. Less power loss thru old motor mounts (or so said) I had a lot of vibration at idle with mine. I removed it. I'll be getting the shock style one soon to replace the rx7store one I have.

if it was a shock it'd be pointless because you'd get the same problems only dampened a little bit. I do remember someone saying it looks like a shock but thats just styling.... like SPO said i think it was Lost Time.

Just a little damper at idle is all I want. Looks like I'm shock shopping... Make my own dammit. Only needs like a 1/4 inch of absorbsion...
