does anybody have a verdict on this strut bar? I am also wondering if it is going to pose a problem when I put a torque brace on? thanks

nobody has ever had this strut brace? interesting? I guess I can figure out for myself that it will definately pose a problem with a engine torque brace. just wanted to see if anybody had any other opinions.

 

looks pretty cool. a lot like the old skool strut bars racing beat made for the 1st and 2nd gen.

my only concern would be properly mounting it to the firewall. my friend had one of the RB ones ages ago and it tore out of the firewall.

 

interesting

 

I have one of these things....Fits like ****...If you want it you can have it (free) just pay the shipping, I'll even send you the box of washers you need to make it fit.

 

I don't see that helping you at all; it doesn't triangulate in any way. Those points on the firewall, while convenient from a location point of view, are not necessarily structurally sound (they're probably just sheet metal, and you're going to have to get to the back of them to weld plates/place a nut/etc to do it right). You never know if that part of the firewall is going to flex in response to stresses from the strut tops; you may end up even cracking the windshield.

EDIT: looking at his other designs, he really needs to take a statics class

 

Well said Nic....By the way your motor mounts work great

 

Who's Nic, who are you, and how did you get my motor mounts? I only made one set, and a few hours ago, they were under my engine... Maybe I should ask, how did you get to AL from Ontario in 2 hrs?

 

Beware of cp racing..... do a search to see their reputation for yourself

 

the ad itself said it all...


"Beware of Cheap Strut bars on ebay!"

 

The only triangulated strut bar I would consider would be the RE Amemiya version. It is expensive but there are few who could complain about their craftsmanship IMHO.

 

Sorry got you mixed up with Broken09...his name is Nic and he made up bunch of motor mounts a few months ago.

 

thanks gentlemen. thats what I wanted to hear. I am also looking for motor mounts. what are these mounts made by Broken09 all about?
