Well I am sorry if I am mistaken, but I am going off the fact that I have never seen an ETD on a real race S2000. I only see them on show cars and rice boy's on the streets. I have even asked draggers, drifters, and road racers if they felt it was needed and they almost always give me the same replies:
It does not stop the movement, but rather slightly dampen the vibration of the motor. Maybe good for some cars, but not needed on the S.
Just adds more weight that does not make more power or stiffen the chassis.
Nobody I have talked to could see a advantage to one of these that a set of stiffer motor mounts could not cure.
In most cases you need to replace or drill a large hole through the heat sheild that is place there for a reason. Now you are allowing more heat to penetrate to the battery and relays!
If there are any REAL benefits to an ETD then please educate me and maybe I too will pick one up.
Thanks again! (I'm not trying to bash or argue, only pointing out what I have learned)

Is it necessary for the S2000 with its already smooth shifting? Probably not, but it does help a little.
