Just like to say i just picked up my strut brace tonight.....

Very good quality for the price....

Very very happy and suggest anyone who does not have one and wants one... then this is your man....

hi,

i dont mean to speak out of turn here, but i have one of these braces - well it looks physically exactly the same - and while i just cannot fault the manufacturing, i have to say that i'm not that impressed with the design ...

once it is installed, you cannot adjust it to make it slightly tighter, you basically make it the right size to fit the shocks on either side, and place it over the bolts, or squeeze it over the bolts, replace the nuts, tighten them up, and that it ... no more adjustment ...

just not a great desigm imho

just my 2c

what are you talking about??? use the alan key bolts to tighten the brace. :P

ahh, this one must be different then ... couldnt see ANY method of tighening the one i have ... will pull it all apart and replace the existing bolts with allen heads ...

sorry if i put anyone off, i was in the wrong ...

cheers

Hiroshima Screamer : My supplier has heaps left. But I wait till I have enough people to make the group buy, then I go and get a batch. If you want, the next batch I get I will get r32 front for you?

You don't need to buy allen key bolts. Just where the actual brace meets the bracket you will need to tighten those bolts and that will tighten the brace. Easy :D

1 R33 left without group buy. For anything else it will be put on the list to be order from the supplier. Takes 1 hr to get the parts.

Just a question, in the picture with the 33, does the brace get into the way when trying to change the spark plugs?

The big silver pipe that goes into the intake manifold, can it still be turned upwards to access spark plugs or is the brace in the way.

Thanks.

gtrGhosTDoGG11: I haven't taken the cover off yet to see if it gets in the way. But I reckon I would have to take it off to get to them. Small price to pay though for better handling.

MarkE: Juls bought an r32 off me for R31 was going to make a small mod to fit it. Dont know the results though. Maybe you can ask.

    • Nah, you failed to pay your washer cover subscription and BMW have revoked your access.
    • Haha thanks Lith,  So it's currently working quite well and the torque reduction is setup and working phenomenal. It also got a custom torque convertor from All Fast in WA. Stall speed somewhere around 5500rpm unlocked but still with the lockup. The car went back onto the dyno after a 3yr hiatus (even with the dbw, and other mods completed in this time) managed to make ~515kw at all 4 hubs. Sean setup the Torque reduction which now sounds awesome and working well. We setup adjustable torque controlled launch control aswell.  Man what a feature. Especially when drag racing on street tyres I Managed to get out to the drags late last year and tick a huge bucket list item off of running mine and the cars first 9. Car went a 9.98 @142 Still had the young fellas car seat in the back aswell.  This was on 255/40/17 Nankang AR-1.  Currently the Turbolamik is still completing it's own torque calcs and managing shift times from there. Unfortunately emtrons can export is still a little restrictive to export the ecu calculated torque just yet but I have recently been suggested a work around that I just haven't had a chance to trial yet.     
    • Yeah its bad eh. Ey! Watch your mouth. Yep, spot on. The rear's are always gone too though from brake checking. I had them perilously close to a tree that we had taken down. I think the tree peeps may have taken it. Either for a trophy, or accidentally.  
    • f**kin' yikes! That insulation is the shittest stuff I have ever seen. You need to do an insurance job on that f**ker, pronto. WRT to the washer cover, I would have said that there'd have to be some at a wrecker, then remembered that it's a BMW, and reasoned that every single wrecked one would have been tailgating and so the front end would be trashed.
