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 22^nd 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.

@Admin
can we fix the forum glitch? I only get notifications randomly. i.e. I get them all at the same time.

I am not taking anymore deposits but you can add your name to the growing list for AAN.

I posted an update 3 weeks ago above. They are still working on them.

[Wizard-of-OD]

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.
