Well lets see, about 6 months ago I re-did my strut tower bar. This time I did it out of solid stainless square bar, and had it all welded up. Then I got lazy and it sat there for the 6 months and did nothing. Today I got off my lazy butt and put it on.

I want to do the next one all in stailess and just clearcoat it. I only painted this one because I had to use non-stailess for the plates on top and bottom.

((Also, the underside of teh body has been reinforced with 3/8 metal plate to take the load of the strut bar.))

 

we used those same bolts to put together intellifit systems...lol

 

looks good, but what's up with all the baby blue?

 

looks good bro

 

Hey, the bolts are strong and use an allen wrench which I love.

As for the blue (and its not baby blue, thats the camera.) It is all getting changed to black. I only used the blue in the first place because it was on sale at autozone. ROFL As soon as teh temp gets to where I can paint, I am gonna start changing it all to just plain old black. I think it will look better.

 

get the wrinkle paint for it, makes it look pretty sweet.

 

No one asked....does it work? Feel a differeance?

 

good question, lol.

 

no, i was mainly asking about all the blue wiring covers and silicon tubes

 

^^^ Oh, they were on sale too when I went to get new vac lines. LOL I figured they would work just as well and stand out if I had to trouble shoot the vac system in the future. I have been looking for some white slicone tubing, but haven't been able to finds any. Oh well.

And yes I can feel the difference. I could feel it with the old one, but the new one is stronger and works MUCH better. Only thing is it weighs about 15 pounds. Might be a bit heavier than 15 pounds, I forgot to weigh it. But yeah, it works great. I am gonna put it through it paces this weekend. I was thinking of doing a few runs in an old parking lot with it and without it to see what difference it makes. That way I will have numbers on it.

Any better ideas on how to test it? I do know from a peice of scrap that I made up (set up and welded just like the bar) that it take well over 5 tons of force to bend it. I used the bender we have for testing our welds and bent it. It made a horrid noise when the welds started breaking, but held together. ROFL
