what the f is this? ETB ?

I saw this listed on E-bay and it says engine mount damper? looks like a torgue brace, maybe. anybody know what they are talking about. look at where it says "These new WR Engine Dampeners are a hot new item from our friends at Weapon R. These dampers hold down your motor and prevent it from rocking during launch and competition use. Which in turn reduce horsepower loss.

A popular replacement / alternative for polyurethane bushings / motor mounts, these dampeners not only accentuate your vehicles engine bay, but give they clamp down your engine for superior performance at low cost."

just checking to see if anyone knows what is up with this.

Yeah, just looks like a torque brace. I know some of the torque braces have dampers.

That's kinda high for a Weapon-R part. Their stuff is usually a little hokey, and I wouldn't expect to pay top drawer prices for their parts.

I don't think I would buy anything made by Weapon R.

This is the link right? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...&category=50454

If so, the name came up as "Black Leather Handbrake Boot/Handle Saturn L Series", and showed a FAAAT picture of a normal looking e-brake w/ boot. Dale did you click that link and see a tourque brace looking piece? I have no idea why mine came up as a leather boot e-brake handle.

It truly amazes me that people scour Ebay to buy the cheapest parts possible to put on their FD....

I have saved tons of money on all kinda **** on ebay. all high quality stuff, even the hard pipes and filters for my intake. beats paying 400 hundred bucks for a name, and that is exactly what it is. I have Defi D gauges I got for half price on ebay, I have stereo equipment all half price, Soundstream and MB quart. Got my Nardi steering wheel on ebay. Got my ADR chyper rims 18x8.5 front and 18x9.5 in the rear for like 500 bucks brand new w/o tires. anyway you get the point. If you look for confirmed high quality brand name stuff, you save hundreds, period. you go looking for weapon r, bomz, fake mazdaspeed **** then you are looking for low quality stuff. that is about 85% of the **** on there. the rest of the stuff is better than good. I am not going to sit here and say I am cool cause I spent double for the same ****. I will take the discount. your ricer for the **** you strap on your car, not for where you bought it. right guys?

agreed I would never buy this ****. I was wondering what they were claiming it was. the rotary extreme brace I heard was the best. just wanted you all to see how bad the ripping off quality products has gone. disgraceful. next you will see a Mazdafakespeed uim or something. watch out. only quality brand names are worth getting. period.

wtf are you talking about? you're hating on rip off parts, but say the rotary extreme brace is the best? their etb is a copy of feed's, and all their body kits are fakes.

Wrong. Chuck's ETB is most definitely NOT a Feed copy.....and yes, he sells replica bodykits. His products are just as high quality or better than the originals and he markets them as replicas as well. He also sells the genuine body parts, but surprise, surprise, no one ponies up the cash for those.

Chuck supports the rotary community, which is far more than you can say for the many large companies that produce poor quality copies of other products.
