It's a 2pt strut bar, probably never did anything in the first place. Plus it's a VW so the rest of the suspension is probably a complete cluster ****. Oh and tubular bars are stronger than solid

It'd be funnier if I left it as NJ Chat Tread: Redefining Engrish One word at a Time.

It's probably just as strong, most strut tower bars are made out of pretty thin tubing to begin with, usually something like an .90 wall.

The wall thickness really doesn't have to be that high since most of the forces on a strut tower brace are compression and there isn't really THAT much force going through them to begin with.

If you really want to build a good brace then it should be tied into the firewall.

Form is greater than Function.

Anyone who says it's not is clearly uninformed about Human nature.

As far as OBD2 tucks, some people are doing some pretty crazy things with newer cars as of late, relocating every system to somewhere else in the car where it isn't as visible unless it absolutely needs to be in the engine bay.

Dewitt, I see that you like Cool Miatas.



Make this happen soon, please?

Just need some Slammage, 15x8's or 16x8's, Hardtop, and Coolness.

This duder also has some sort of Itty-Bitty baby turbo strapped to the side of his motor as well. You need this too. I'm fairly certain a T25 from an SR would be all you need to make some respectable number.

[DaBombDiggidy]

fro... yeah ive seen a few obd2 cars with some sick tucks mostly k series swaps but still my srt is a cluster bomb in the engine bay. gona see what i can do this winter while its off the road tho and relocate what i can. Theres some retarted vaccum set ups in the car i swear at one point it loops back to itself on the same line.

PS im going plasti dip crazy on the car when i get a chance. Wheels and front bumper. im excited to see how it turns out cuz if i dont like it i can tear it off haha

example

[thefro526]

What are we supposed to see in the example?

[DaBombDiggidy]

o lol thats someone using plati dip insted of paint to do wheels. its like a coating that adheres to things with minimal prep and it comes off if you want to take it off too wont ruin the wheel/paint you put it on either.
