Whats going on Zilvians. I'm going to be coming up with some new brace designs that i would love for you guys to get involved with. If you have any ideas or anything that you would like to see built let me know. You might not have the fabrication skills but have ideas out the ying yang. Ill be posting some of my new ideas up to see what you guys think.

If you want, you can make a quick "paint" design to post to get a visual idea.


Thank You and hope to see some cool things posted.

so you want us to come up with something that you can sell for profit?
that doesnt really make sense?
unless the person who designed it would get a free one or something.

no actually, im doing this to build whatever you want, man people just cant appreciate someone that actually is out there to help you....mannnn, and yes that is the upside of a service, profit.

I need an s14 to get some measurements off of to get some of you s14 guys some products.

Thanks guys keep them coming

And not just for s13's, whatever you want! can be a fender brace for your minivan for all i care.

This looks like it could potentially become one of the more ridiculous threads I've seen

Custom tension rod braces for ppl w/ S13.5s running an S14/S15 core support, and hood hinges for a easy conversion?

It all helps a little bit, I mean I would ditch all of it if I could get my chassis stitched up and re-enforced lika quilt.

Me too. Being poor, I guess I'll just wait till I can do it the proper way.

Love how Zilvia gives advice. :bigok: :keke:

Damn 5150 asked for our help and you guys are being childish.....

Hey 5150 what about a harness bar, fot those that dont want a roll cage but need one to hook their 6-point belts to. I dont have Ms paint but check out MI harness bar for the EVO.

I'm just interested in a quality fender brace.

That bar is pretty pimp. It'd be even better if it went up to the front subframe instead of back to the trans brace though. More flex there.

Something like this(this is a factory x-brace for a BMW E36, comes on verts and the E36 M3 Lightweight).

I want cheap, well-made strut bars for my E36.

I can send you measurements.

Also, if you can make a loop for the front of it that allows me to hook it to a trebuchet and fling it ~30 miles, that'd be great. I'm really beginning to hate that car.

I say S13 fender braces, and a harness bar that uses the bolt holes on the c pillar of the coupe where the seat belt point bolts to.

custom radiator core supports so u can angle ur radiator and have the intercooler behind it like this....

except the radiator will be angled with the front facing down and the intercooler will be parallel with the radiator behind the fans

A proper "bolt in" vmount would be very expensive to produce and the 240 crowd would not pay for it IMO.

not as expensive as other stuff people bolt on their car... that v-mount that he has in that picture probably cost no more than $150 excluding the radiator and intercooler

the only thing that would suck would be cutting or drilling your old core support out. I had to do it on my girlfriends car after she stuffed it under a semi. But it wouldn't cost much in metal....and you would also have a choice between round and square tubing. You wouldn't have to buy a new rad, just a small intercooler most likely.
