it doesn't' really affect daily commute.....it is meant for high rev's; where the motor vibrates the most.

1987-92 RX-7 Turbo II Engine Torque Brace

" The Racing Beat-designed Engine Torque Brace, available for all 1979-92 RX-7s, substantially reduces or eliminates the shuddering experienced by many RX-7 owners when engaging the clutch in either first or reverse rear. To view a photo of this brace installed, select this link.

This simple brace mounts to the rear of the engine, and the retaining arm attaches to the outboard sheet metal in the engine compartment. (You must drill a small hole in the sheet metal to mount the retaining arm.) This brace reduces engine movement allowed by the soft-rubber OEM engine mounts by reducing engine movement during clutch engagement. This brace has particular benefits when upgrading to a more “performance” oriented clutch and/or pressure plate, which may make this “shuddering” even more pronounced! "


Where'd you get the high revving part from?


It's under " Engine External"

only pic i have so far..when its on the car all you can see is the rod running horizontally from behind the intercooler to the back driver side of the engine bay.

theres one part where you have to fish a nut(with a rod they welded on so you can reach the hole you drilled) up through the wheel well. it took forever for me to thread the rod into that nut..it was a pain in the ***. the directions arent the greatest either.

it is awesome though.. start up is smoother, shifting is smoother, the shifter doesnt shake as much in neutral, engaging the clutch is smoother....its way worth it.
