    SPLparts have built up a track zed for a customer & did a write up on the process/result, looks amazing! Do something like this pete for your 'you drive' race cars!

    track zed here

    check out the size of the wheels & tyres, 18x10's up front with 285's, 11's in the back running 315's:eek:

    SPL claims they offer more rigidity than a strut brace. And I believe them.

    SPL have been selling that triangle bar for quite a while now. Sport Compact Car fitted one to their Z32 project car a number of years ago, and they said it improved rigidity by a huge amount. Then again, they also foam-filled the sills and rails too...

    You'd think after all that work they could find wheels that fit properly, looks silly.

    Rough body work. Don't know what happened with the guards/front bar and those pulled rear arches were never finished off. Still, for a track car I guess they don't need to worry about such things.

    Yeah Ports and JP that I can think of, and I have a custom UAS one that incorporates catch can (pics in my rebuild thread).

    I don't like the way they have installed the sard one it looks messy... More commonly they are installed in the battery tray location as it is the highest point in the engine bay.
