Hey gang, This product got good reviews from my friends on the GP boards and we have a big group buy set up. Coolest part is direct buying and shipping from the vendor. We are just waiting for a code from the vendor. Feel free to check it out. 15% off $116 list = $98.60 per unit http://gpmini.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=96&postdays=0&am p;postorder=asc&start=0 Jeff in Port Orchard

I have been asked by Ian Cull who nobly maintains the GP boards to let everyone know that GPMINI.net is read only for all but GP owners. All you will need to know will be posted there though and I am happy to liason questions or comments. Also, if you want one touch up windows or DSC off until you say otherwise then check out Ian's handy little gadget. |

the TSW damper is incredible! It made a big difference in Rayelle's initial response out of 1st gear.
It is a little more expensive than the other versions out there but I HIGHLY recommend it to any one who may be interested! I took the plung after only knowing about if for 2 to 3 days. I don't know why I did but I'm glad that I did! I can get pics if anyone wants! Motor Safely! |

Would this group buy also perhaps include a party much like the ones we have for Pulleys to install this dampner? I read the instructions and it does not look too difficult to do, but some of us don't have things like Torque Wrenches yet. :)

Bring it to an event! It will only take minutes for someone to install! (I'd do it for you if I were in the area)
Motor on! |

hey guys. I've been too busy to get on the boards lately but saw these posts in my email. That group buy on GPMini.net is long since done but maybe you can fire up a new one by cotacting Jeff Bibbee at Texas Speedwerks and posting it up in the Marketplace. I think 5 was the minimum threshhold. I have one on the GP that made a nice difference. Next I am going to install the Silicone Bushings I got in AMVIV from Mini Madness and see how they compare. The Damper may end up on Kelley's car after that. I have been told that the damper will break eventually on the racetrack. The damper is a simple 30min install and the change is instantly noticeable. I recommend it. jj

For those interested in the Engine damper, contact TSW direct. Often they'll knock 10% off the price, and then hand it to you to save shipping if they go to someplace you go. I got my TSW damper for under $100 at AMVIV that way. They also threw in a TSW T-Shirt for free. If they're going to MMW007 (which I believe they are) you could put together a group buy and then do a 'local pickup' in Oregon.

OK, I lied. I just picked a slightly used one up off of the NAM classifieds. Todd |

Hi Jeff! Your lovely wife (the wonderful woman that she is) volunteered you to organize a group buy for the auto up circuit. However, I haven't seen a posting for it and David (aka Mozleron) is getting a little anxious because I promised to get him one as a present. Any idea on when we can expect the post? Let me make you an offer you can't refuse... remember what I did at Krispy Kreme?... let's just say if a post doesn't make it to the forums soon, I might have to park next to you at Winged Victory II. And I won't be so gentle this time. Capiche?! (That's my best mobster impression... did it work?) Juli |

I picked up the one shoeboy had to offer. Happened to check NAM at just the right moment. I was the first to view and snatched it up. Just got done installing it this afternoon (details in the off-topic... I have issues). Todd |
