  • Soft return grab handle mod

    My kids & mother have the annoying habit of using the grab handle above the door & letting go so that it bangs noisily - over & over. Kids are kids & Mum has dementia so no point telling them to stop.

    I bought some handle dampers off AliExpress (can't see them on ebay). They were ~AUD14 for 4. This seller does them 6 for $14 - I have no idea why as you only need 4 & once you do the mod you'll never get them apart again without demolishing the pivot pin. Buy 2 lots (12 & you'll have enough for 3 cars.

    The instructions are in the listing. The only thing I did different was remove the screw cover as it makes access easier. The screws are Torx (same size as the common one on pushbikes T4?) not triple-square.

    It will take you 30 minutes tops & works perfectly.

    Recommended for those that like to fiddle.

    Also, the R8 coil packs - just do it!

        They've gotta add at LEAST 10kw each, almost as much as valve stem covers!

        I don't have the problem of people using them yet but good to keep in mind should they start snapping away back there
