Very nice.

Does the X brace just mount to the front latch panel? What is the cost for just the porting?
Thanks

Hey Vas isnt there a little drama with these cars whatever you do?! i had a single shock tower brace before and it helped, but this changed huge!!!!! highly recomend this upgrade:eek:

Thats true. :)

But what has it changed?
How does it feel to the single brace?
More direct in the steering?

Want some feedback before I buy.
Thanks.

The X-brace is secured to the front of the chassis via tabs on each side which are bolted in at stock mounting points.

Hey Juice, so the X brace is a complete bolt on? Will installation affect alignment?

No welding is needed, it is completely bolt in. The strut tower plates mount at stock points, so will not affect alignment. If you are running extremely agressive camber settings, the plate mounting holes may need to be slotted slightly.

Hey, Juicer that video is epic, was that in the maroon 934 rep car?, if so I cant believe it came around with the meats that are on it... talk about ohhh **** time..

Peteski & I ahead in the Skittle, Frankie/Dokktah in the Spinning Bullet, Miguel/Vicky sitting astonished in the sexxxxxayest(est) Brown gem you'll ever see having a headlight match with the Bullet.

amazing times, Bill 'n Ted's Excellent Adventures

xbmwguy 02-10-2012 04:47 AM

hey paulie, just telling office manager about you AND yiur fake teeth at cmp! cant wait to see you in spring (even though its 80 here in so fla)

willtel 02-10-2012 05:46 AM

Looking good!

I know you said you are planning to "take it easy" on your stock bottom end. Any idea on what power levels you will see before you decide that is enough?

xbmwguy 02-10-2012 07:16 AM

i will be in upper 500s when build is done next week but hoping that with only running 11.5# of boost til i do bottom to be in the low 5s. next yaer 3.5 pistons and barrels and beefed up bottom end will be it for me

Nah, that was filmed by me while riding shotgun with Frankie BEFORE installation of the x-brace;) (but AFTER one helluva nite:D).

Hello Gang, Frank the heads are beautiful, good luck with the final assembly. I think you may be firing your car up around the same time mine is finished.

xbmwguy 02-10-2012 04:53 PM

gsmith660 02-10-2012 05:44 PM

Was that your car that took the spin in the video? That was cool the X brace is on my list of things to do.
