If bolt on may we partake? Id like one but can't loose the clearance that the ones off the shelf loose.

I'd be up for a custom made one aswell

 

[Sam]

Im aiming for it to be a bolt on bar

 

[Rob-Gti]

Woul you bolt it to the front side of the mountings or the rear?

 

[Sam]

The rear, then it will still sit up behind the engine brace

 

[Rob-Gti]

Ah I see. The reason I was asking is because i've ordered the Cusco Type 1 brace and as far as I can tell it can be mounted at either the front or the rear, so I wondered how you planned to mount your custom brace.

Type 1 and 2 braces welded together.

And I thought you looked after the tech well.

Every update is interesting, like it.

 

[Sam]

Will have some very interesting updates soon hopefully, will take a few weeks to pull it all together but fabrication will have started shortly.

I thought the underbraces also if not mainly reduced wishbone movement? I know the 2 point Nismo one for the B15 does this.

but where do the wishbones mount to?

[Sam]

The subframe, they do exactly what a strut brace will do, just at the bottom of the car.

 

[edk]

The bolt that goes through subframe and wishbone, also holds the brace I think.

 

[happyharrysco1]

yeah but while the inner wings will flex a little at the top of the struts under load, imo I don't see the subframe moving as its a strong piece that's fully seam welded

[Sam]

then dont make/buy one

 

[happyharrysco1]

heh I wont, just wondered your reasoning is all, given your obv knowledge i'm genuinely interested, not trying to shit on your efforts

[stufagti]

His doing it so be wont scrap it along the ground. Going for more clearance. My 4 point one is great but rarely bottoms out have clipped a few cateyes tho lol

 

[Rob-Gti]

These braces must do something. Look carefully at the first few seconds of this video.

 

[kilcosdc]

Im curious to see how low the whiteline one is.

 

[Sam]

lower than the cusco iirc

His doing it so be wont scrap it along the ground. Going for more clearance

I'm not asking why he's doing it the way he is, I was asking why he's fitting one at all

[Sam]

Gearshifter has had what I hope to be its final tweak

It sat to far forward to begin with meaning you were hitting your hand on the dash in 1st 3rd etc
