Pit Road Engine damper

Merlinsabre · October 31, 2011, 10:37pm

Hi all

For sale is a Pit Road engine damper which I originally bought from Andre. (Andre bought this new, hardly used it).

As I have my original suspension, it won’t tighten down on all three studs (first two tighten perfectly and the third tightens 80% of the way) to which I have been assured is fine, so it means changing the suspension for it to fit as I would want it to and so I have decided not to fit it.

For sale at the same price I purchased from Andre at £200. It has been polished but it could do with a little more to make it look perfect. I have been told to buy new it would cost circa £400 plus shipping costs etc.

Ben also has the Mark 1 front engine mount that is needed for this item but if you want that then you need to agree a price for that with Ben seperately.

Please put a call into Ben and pay him directly against my name for the engine damper and then to Ben if you want the front mount.

Any questions just PM please

Yeah I speak to him like once a week BUt is this for a gen 2 or gen 1?

And does it actually work?

Hi Mate

It will fit all makes of GTO but you need a Mark 1 engine mount.

And yes it does work otherwise I wouldn’t have bought it :lol: but Ben know’s how particular I am about my GTO build.

Well I think he starts to know how particular I am too I will ask him when I speak with him next time about this. It is just that I have a feeling that after I changed my flywheel, the engines reacts quicker and causes to much movement on to the Tcase and prop shaft. My gear box was leaking from the main seal and now everything is fixed and I got a brand new Tcase on the car, so I don’t want to mess it up. That is why I thought this might be a quicker solution instead of changing the engine mounts

I think that would be a wise move to talk to Ben. I changed all my engine mounts when I had the rebuild so all is good there.

Ben and you will make the right decision if you need it or not.

Just let me know what you decide either way

Did you put the poly engine mounts or just the stock ones? And is it a big job to do?

Merlinsabre · January 30, 2012, 5:45pm

Brand new Mitsibushi ones as solids just to hard - The stock one’s for me were fine as I have no intention of doing hard launches etc

It will work well for you dude- need a mk1 mount like Marcus said though.

Have a look at it when you come down next.

Cheers,

Ben.

PS thanks for my hat!!

Sorry to hijack your thread, but I have a new set of poly mounts with the MK1 engine mount and their at Ben’s too. This is the exact set up I had on mine.

Hey Andre

No drama’s and sounds a good all round option if needed. Hope all well with you

any chance of a picture of this .interested to see what it looks like ???

Permanent_Grin · January 31, 2012, 10:09pm

Boo

Excuse the poor quality

André

boo · January 31, 2012, 11:01pm

thanks andre …any idea what that damper is rated too

Permanent_Grin · January 31, 2012, 11:19pm

Sorry, not got a clue.

All I can tell you is that coupled with pu engine mounts, bell housing brace, 300M output shaft, 2 piece PST carbon prop it withstood 710 ft lbs of torque, launching at 6000 RPM with an unsprung carbon carbon clutch 15 times over 2 days. Then drove me 240 miles home!

I would say it also helps to cushion quick / aggressive gear changing and de-clutching.
