Nice Bryan :) I wish my dampener would be that cheap. I would guess your pulley was more than 450 since you had something custom attatched to it yes?

Actually the damper was $399 thru Summit, and even came with the extra A/C pulley i have no use for. I do have a drive that bolts onto the front of the damper to drive the belt driven fuel pump, so it costs a bit extra, but it isnt a part of the damper itself.....

hmm i might be going to summit for the dampner

They dont stock it so you dont get it in the normal 2-3 days, but it only took about a week i think. ATI is pure quality. I have a bunch of their products on my bucket....

^^ i think he mentioned earlier that he's using basic stuff, not scratch resistant.

is that the scratch resistant stuff?

how are the optics?

lookin good man!


Its just basic 3/16" polycarbonate....I dodnt want to take the chance of messing up the expensive scratch-resistant stuff, so i started out with this.... I will eventually make new ones in some scratch-resistant stuff now that i have a better template.

As far as the optics, i havent had any real sunlight on it so i couldnt really tell you about glare, etc, but i think they shoudl be ok, assuming i dont scratch the shit outta it ;)

yeah i hear ya. that scratch resistant stuff is spendy.

if you did happen to get some scratches there is this stuff called lexan magic that works awesome. it was originally designed for aircraft canopies.
