Title: Strut Bar Group Buy list and pics
Post by: Snowmann on April 07, 2006, 05:37:47 PM
OK so heres the deal, I am going to offer this design to you guys... I started a new thread so that we arent throwing around ideas, but this thread is going to be for this bar in paticular...


Pricing will vary depending on the ppl but it will be in the 100-130 range.

The bar will be RAW, more people want it this way as they like to color match.

The bars mounting plates will be slightly different than pictured, they will only be a half circle and only utilize the 2 bolts, and the verticle drill-yourself hole.
Hardware will be included for the 2 additional holes.

So only post if you are down. I will lock in pricing sometime over the weekend. with a break down on 5, and probably a break down on 10, if we go higher I can probably discount even more, but since there is still not a strong following I dont see it happening... but won't rule it out.

list as of 4-10

1. e9nine
2. enilder
3. febi guibo
4. thumper3ld
5.

2 more definates please!

I wish that it was a double bar one.
Title: Strut Bar Group Buy list and pics
Post by: enildeR on April 10, 2006, 02:13:00 AM
the bar is of a fairly large diameter. it should hold up to anything you can do on the track.

The double bar is not needed, at that point it is merely a looks thing... This bar and the bar on my 325 share the same design and both had a very noticable difference when installed. The 318is bar was used all last season on our race car as well...

Post by: Snowmann on April 10, 2006, 03:10:19 PM

Title: Strut Bar Group Buy list and pics
Post by: thumper3ld on April 10, 2006, 06:44:07 PM

FYI in order to use the Sparco on an m42, you need to space it higher with washers to clear the intake manifold. That's what I did to make it work in the past.

Sorry guys, I waited around for 2-3 weeks and we stayed at less then 5 people...

The shop got busy and I got busy with the engine build on the race car...


I will hang it out there that if we get 5 again we can do this - but I cant justify doing any work for less than 5 peices

Febi Guibo said he would purchase 2 to make the 5 min. easier to obtain

Ill re-subscribe
