TEIN Hood Damper

JDM1nt2B - Thanks for the pics. It is very helpful

redtegra - Please send pics when done. Also, where did you get the ball joint? Please let me know. Thanks

redtegra,
Where did you bend the arm at? Hopefully nowhere where it goes inside the shock. Cause that might cause the seal to wear out and leakage of the shock fluid.

haha no i bent it at the bottom so no danger. and as to where i got the ball joints, i work at a garage and we just randomly had some that fit perfect. we order them from some local company.




hood closes perfect

that da is turbo?? i see the ic…but i also see some dc headers??

It’s just an intercooler, no turbo. Headers and Intake give it away.

wtf?

thats car is turboed now, pretty good set up too

which model hood damper is it? is it for the DA or just another car model but works on the DA?

haha yeah that was when i was mocking up my turbo setup. its the da model but it’s garbage. you’re better off goin to a parts store and buying some ball joints with some strong hood dampers and doing a custom setup. in the end thats what i did. the shocks don’t last and the brackets position the shocks horribly.

what hood dampers did you end up getting from the parts store??? I have been to all the car parts stores in my area, and they have them listed by part numbers for specific cars, and not lengths. I know roughly the length i need, but none of the stores would help me. Any info on the specific dampers you got would be greatly appreciated.
