I am starting to firm up my chassis to better handle the
abuse my v8 and 930 will dish out. I have an unistalled roll cage that I may not use because it is a street car, so if I don't use it I will go with Engman. I also have had for 15 years an unopened "GT stiffening kit" There seems to be a lot of thought that it is not worth the trouble. Is this true? I can get one of Chris' kits with removable braces, but is there any reason to mix and match the two or should I go with only CFR stuff? The only rust I have found on the car is a small hole on top of the long in the hell hole. I'll start digging in there this weekend to see how bad it is, but the rest of the longs are in great shape (california cars = good) patrick |

QUOTE Eric, I had thought the "if you put the inner fenderwell part on you are just welding to a cover" bit was gospel, but it SURE looks like that is not true.(!) In a sense it is but, it does strengthen that area and it does tie it back to where the tranny brace begins. This is the outer portion of the long as it extends past the shock tower and heads to the back. The shock tower does tie in at the bottom (the three corners come together). These joints are often overlooked yet are some of the strongest points. The one thing that hasn't been mentioned here, or shown, are the cracks that have been known to develop in that area with heavy racing. There are pictures here on the site, I'm just too lazy and don't know where to begin the search. It's going on my car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |
