This is a new part I installed. Stillway Engine Dampner. Smoothens out shift a lot. PURE JDM came packaged with Japanese newspaper.

They are nice looking…but in my opinion INCREDIBLY overpriced for what it is. I mean come on…$90,000 for a measly 290 hp and 224 ft/lbs of torque?? Get real. You could have so many much nicer, faster cars and still have money left over to mod them. The new C6 Z06 comes to mind, a new M3, Viper SRT-10 (same price but 3x the power), heck even the ls2 gto would hand that thing its butt… It’s always neat to have a rare car but I think this car is rare for a slow reason 😉 ---

> [@Rx3](#): > > Woah, I’m more interested in the Engine Dampner. How much did that run you, and where did you get it? it costs $239 shipped for gunmetal/gold/red one. $199 shipped for blue one. However, it only fits the evo. Give [www.gruppe-s.com](http://www.gruppe-s.com) a call and ask for Cal. Or send an email to stillway. It’s a Japanese company and see if they have one for DSM. I think weapon-r sells one for the DSM but do u trust it? Many evo owners who used the weapon-r broke. ---

There was a yellow NSX downtown yesterday parked next the the G-Unit Tour Busses at the Hyatt. There were also a bunch of groupies, but thats a whole nother story. On a side note, I passed a couple of the G-Unit guys this morning on my walk to work. They were chillin outside the busses. Didnt see 50 though. ---
