Help - installing torque damper on a RHD

I need some help to install a stillen torque damper.
Because i drive the JDM version ( RHD ) , i think they are alot more wires at the same location. I read through the stillen manual to install and seriously it is much harder than it sounds..

i finished the grounding wires and it was much easier than this job..

I took put side the steering fluid reservoir and the coolant tank and i saw the 3 bolts ( right above the bracket word, there are 3 bolts forming a triangle, pic onlys shows 1 and abit) and the grounding point for the TCC ( 2 bolts hoiling this down )

I am unable to get the the 3 bolts to install the bracket and when i trial fit the damper it looks like it will touch and rub against the gold metal hose and the rubber hosing under the bracket word.



anyone can help me? otherwise it looks like i need to go to a professional to get it done.. hopefully they can move the wires ..

you need extensions for your socket wrench.

that is not a problem.. the problem are the wires.. it doesn't look like there are that many in the LHD and the stillen manual.

Which means i got to re-locate at least 1 bulk of wire( the grounding bunch from the TCC) as they are secured with a plastic /tie-wrap *** insert into the body and there is really no way the bracket will fit there without the wire tubing touching it.

Plus i have doubts it will clear the gold metal tube which sits between the damper. ( this i cant confirm 100% till i can fit the bracket )

ok. got it installed at a mechanic for $20 bucks.

There is definately more vibration in the pedals .. 1-2 gear shift is smoother.. torque wise.. cant really feel that it arrives faster..
