can someone tell does this thing work for the s2000??

The joke with these is that your engine is suppose to have some torque for this mod to be of any help and we all know the S has no torque.

Some people have bought them and claim they 'feel' a difference, but then others have said they 'feel' a difference with a STB and that has basically been proven to be of no value for stiffening the chassis.

My thought on TD's is that if you like it, go for it. As for your warrenty, I would guess it wouldn't hurt it because you could always remove it when you took the car to Honda.

i had one on my 07 si and it made a big difference on my launch and my shifting. no matter how much TQ your motor has it is going 2 rock in its mounts. the idea behind the ETD is that instead of the TQ rotating the motor it will rotate your tires so you put all the power to the ground. it helps a lot with wheel hop in a front wheel drive car idk about what it would do in a RWD. i'm not planning on getting one it makes the engine noise inside the car so freaking loud its not even funny. and it makes the whole car vibrate like crazy cuz the engine is dirrectly linked 2 the car. just look up the advantages of having stiffer engine mounts and thats basically what you get just cheeper, with less work, and not to the maximum effect you could get with replacing your mounts.
