which is why I can't work out why people try to make their GTST's into R copies or try to make them faster.

My saying is that if you want a faster car , buy one from the manufacturer. Usually works out cheaper in the long run.

I assume you are talking about the brace between the shock mounts under the bonnet and not the sway bars under the car.

Strut braces work if they are attached to the suspension ( ie Macpherson strut style. )

The lines are double wishbone and the mount you are attaching to is not a stressed member of the car.Also unless it is straight and substantially thick , it will flex anyway.

I think you would find if you did an MC type day with the bar on and off , the difference would be marginal.

But hey , it looks cool and I have em on my car ( cos they came with it )

ken - hmmm everything you say sounds right.. but it still seemed to make a difference... maybe it is all in my head... but as you said - they look cool.. hehehe :(

paul - springs will be on the cards definitely.. was talking to no_respect tonight when i picked up the brace - his is about the right height (only about an inch lower than mine) and he said that he still retained a firm but comfy ride... he also said they're pretty damn easy to fit?

    • The reservoir is pretty far from the pump, as others have said some of the pipe is also a rather janky power steering cooler. Find the leak. It might be the rack, might be a hose/pipe, etc.
    • looking at attached screenshot , I don’t know why there is a significant hose run for it to be looped backed into the steering   mine bas air in it and loads of it as when i power the car off loads of air come to surface forcing fluid out. I think my issue is leak or maybe hole somewhere like yours. I am going to drain the fluid and smoke test it   when i turn steering side to side it soften up little before getting hard and believe issue is air leak somewhere as pump is fine
    • It may not be relevant to your situation, but when I had the issue of air getting into the system on my GTT, I found there was a tiny hole in the aluminium cooling pipe. Enough for air to be drawn in, just not enough to cause a significant leak. Looked like the previous owner had chosen a bad place to attach the earth clamp of his welder and tried to mask this with a piece of mesh sleeving 🙄
    • Greater amount of energy is required to turn larger wheels up to speed, there for laggier. However bigger wheels are capable of flowing greater amount of air through both housings, let the engine burn more fuel and makes more power that way.
