some stuff i have done on my friends car the last couple of days..

Made our own power brace






Boxed in the lower arms and cut off the steering stop's ..






Plated some holes that I dont need anymore





Made a better FMIC mount ...






Also laid some body filler down on the tubs..



first thing i did was sleeve the frame




then i made the bumper to frame mounts



then welded in the last tube for the mount.





The finished bash bar




test fit the fmic piping and bumper

about 19.5lbs
if we were to do it again we can probably take off another pound
since there was still area to the friction surface
but we're happy with the result since this is going on a daily driver
anything more than that would require the removal of the ring gear
and more careful planning

the only one I've heard that happening with
(posted in zilvia a while back)
was of an aluminum one that was being used beyond
it's designed power/torque capabilities

lightening OEM flywheels is a very common thing
I'll have it resurfaced and balanced aswell

edit:
years ago I was planning on having this place do it for me:

I'm working on a vacuum block right now. When I get it done I'll post it up. My next project is an aluminum coil pack over for my RB. I will post pics as I get it started.

a) various companies already make them, we don't flood the market with parts already available.

First, I thank those that have already replied to my original post on where to get the velocity stacks.

Secondly, I probably should have been a little more thorough.

I am looking for a vendor, in the continental united states, that spins/fabricates velocity stacks of varying ID and OD. I've searched on google and found the vendors in Australia as posted, but with shipping I think it would be fairly expensive.

Motivation:
I'm looking to fabricate an intake manifold that will adapt to GTI-R throttle bodies. I am aware that the OEM plenum can be utilized by simply cutting the runners and flipping the plenum, but for aesthetics as well as fitment, I'd rather fabricate one as I have all the resources to do so.

I should have use back plates for these braces but I'm sure it will be just fine as is.








Obviously the work is not as clean or precise as most of what I've seen in here but I do try to take my time and learn more as I go along and I'm proud to do all of my own work. Maybe one day I will own a TIG :]

A little tip for people who use 1/16th and .040 and smaller tungsten. It may not fit in a drill... Like mine.. So I use these. Pin vices. Hold from .00mm to 4.5mm
