Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year everyone.
As mentioned before these are full scale into production.
Fluidampr is trying to complete the TTRS/RS3 Damper (which was started before this) and they hope to have units out the door before the end of January 2018.
As of December 22nd the INLINE-5/AAN etc blanks were cut.
The timing belt sprocket portion needs to be cut and then the profile for the adapter rings need to be machined.
This will be a 2 piece design for those who have AAN , 3B , ADU , ABY etc you will be getting the same part number for the damper and will just have to select which engine it is going on.
I am hoping it won’t be much longer as FRP needs one for mine.
For ARP,
Those are expected mid February so fingers crossed there.
For those who have asked via PM , I am going to post here. I am not taking anymore deposits at this time as it wouldn’t be fair to those who paid months ago.
If anyone isn’t interested anymore , send me an email or PM directly and ill find a slot for your damper.

I posted this on facebook but will post here as well.
" I am well aware of how long it has been and yes I whole heartedly appreciate the patience of those who paid a deposit well over 9 months ago , the reality is simple.
Fluidampr has had multiple set backs with other projects and unfortunately **** is rolling down hill.
There BMW Diesel Damper was an absolute gong show that put everyone in panic mode.
That being said this is where we are at:
- Prototypes have been
- ARP studs have been made (yes Jeff , I know you want a bunch)
- Prototype rings have been made
3B , 7A and all the other 3-v-belt set ups will use the same ring. If it over drives or underdrives your accessories then we can address that later but for now all the v-belt guys are getting the same ring.
AAN is the easiest
ABY & ADU have been the hardest to do.
Once the table gets cleared , then the hubs will move forward to production. I will be handling the manufacturing of the bolt on rings to ease the load off Fluidampr.
Am I excited? Hell Yes
Am I concerned with the lead time? Yes but what is the other option? Rebuilding an OEM stock one? No thanks.

Also to those that keep sending me PM's asking if they can buy , the same answer as before ....no.
Please just post in here and state what you want. I am not taking anymore deposits / payment from anyone. Whatever difference Fluidampr needed to make the project happen , I covered so as not to inconvenience anyone else.
