Default Engine Torque Damper

I am getting ready to purchase a Spoon Sports Engine Torque Damper for my car and i was just curious if anyone had any information on them. Good? Bad? Easy to install? Hard to Install?

from what i've read, all the etds are the same whether you got a spoon, nrg, or j's. they just put their brand on it and a different color.

it may require cutting a hole through the plate and some have issues with the hose resting on the etd. do a search on the s2000 talk thread or check the group buy forum. there have been a few discussions on it.

You'll have to cut a hole through the heatshield,and,knock off the fusebox bracket.
Although the Spoon ETD,comes with a pre-cut heatshield.

I think you need torque to get a benefit from an ETD. If you like it though, get it.
