First off, let me state up front that I have no connection or relationship with this company.....

While searching for engine dampers, I ran across this site for Ingalls Engineering. They have a pretty good looking engine damper called the Stiffy that they're marketing.

The problem is that it's not available for the 350Z yet. They do have a link there indicating that their R&D is looking for test vehicles, the 350Z in particular. That's probably why they haven't released one for us yet.

I'd be signing up myself but I don't live in Colorado so I figured one of you might be interested and willing to give it a try. From what I've read, you get a free one out of the deal - not bad when you consider that their list prices are around $350 (yeah, that's rather steep).

What's in it for me? Nothing at this point. I figure the sooner a Z owner steps up and tests it, the quicker it will be on the market for the rest of us. Now if you do go through with it and decide not to keep it, just remember who hooked you up.

These guys PM'd on another board. I'd let them use my car for testing but unfortunately my car is another state in storage for the winter. I have 2 friends on HAI (High Altitude Imports.com) that did the exact same thing on their cars (non-Z's) and they speak very highly of the company and the people and the parts. One of them is SCCA and put their products they R&D'd on his Integra to good use.

 

Ingalls is still looking for a test car. I've posted updated information with details in this post....
