Cool.

It's quite a bit of work to put out those gems. I can see why some people get bad reps trying to sell product and then cannot meet delivery promises or get into issues with customer satisfaction. Even those in the business have to deal with loss of customers over a $10 price difference, bad reps over a week delay in delivery or noone to answer phones all day, it's endless.

Rikki, Thanks. Who stocks it? I did a search but came up empty handed.

That's a rattletrap from what I see posted here lately.

I dunno what a rattletrap is, but the one I bough tfrom lost time works great. It's like having stiffer motor mounts. It's way more responsive and easier in traffic... the speed just dies w/o braking

I love the affect of an ETB as well, night and day difference in driveability, I assume all of them work equally well to stop the motor from floping around. My comment on the rattling stems from the many posts on this forum about vibration and noise from the rigid ETBs.

Crispy's design which is now sold at the Rx7 Store seems to be the way to go with these motor torque braces...

That's b/s then. I did an 8hr round trip this weekend after installing it. Noise/vibration are barely perceptible.

Just thought I would let everyone know that I got my brace from Kyle and it's a very nice piece of work.
He was able to get the urethane bushing made in yellow and it and the rest of the parts look great.
Very easy to install and so far it has lived up to the hype. Third gear does seem to engage smoother.

The only change in vibration seems to be at idle and I feel it through the steering wheel. But I am still playing with the preloading so I may be able to lessen that.

All in all I would not hesitate to recommend Kyle and his brace. (sounds like a South Park episode)
