NEU-F TORQUE ARM INSERT

Car feels more composed

Cheap little thing, didn’t expect too much but it did not disappoint! It cleans up drivetrain slop way more than I thought it even could, shifting feels much crisper and throttle response is definitely improved. Before when downshifting and rev matching you could feel the drivetrain oscillating and flopping about a bit which I just chalked up to being the way the car is, but now it’s gone. The driving feels more confident and composed, and it pairs well with my Bonalume short shifter. Now the cons: DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. I was not immediately aware of the torque specs so I just tightened it down until it wasn’t going anywhere. Well that was a big mistake! Massive shaking and vibrations at low RPMs made it very unpleasant to set off from a stop. Above 2000 it was lovely but below that was terrible. Now, having loosened back to the recommended spec of around 95 Nm (I think?), it is much more pleasant. Still some rough NVH under 2000rpm but not nearly as pronounced, and if you adjust your clutch work accordingly you can drive around it mostly at set off. As before once you’re moving you shouldn’t really drop below 2000rpm anyways or you’re driving the car wrong, so it’s nothing but smooth and crisp at speed. Overall a pretty easy cheap mod that does have a noticeable improvement on driving experience.
