Thread: Triangulated FSTB

I was pretty certain that nothing was commercially availble, and was planning to just tackle this one myself, though it's a long way from getting started. If anyone has something they have created, please post pictures here. I'm interested to see the diffrerent methods people have taken to accomplishing this. I've been through the suspension thread a time or two, I guess I was just looking for a few more examples.

As for the cusco unit, while that may be true that's not why this topic was created, I'm trying to explore the possibilities of a triangulated brace for the B13 chassis

Only one I ever saw was Dave's Project SCC car. I was going to put one in my B13, but the VE plenum is too close to the firewall to get anything easily around. I'm currently making do with a simple single bolted up to my GC CC plates, but I MAY some day end up doing something. If so I'll post up for sure.

Funny you mention the VE, I too will be running a VE and I guess that's the reasoning behind the thread. I've been trying to get something together, but it's almost impossible to get the towers to meet at a central location on the firewall with that manifold.

I wonder if it would be any downside to having the shock towers connect to separate locations on the firewall...

Stillen had one back in the early 90's. Anyone have an old pic of it?

Wow, that fit on a lowport!? Or is that a custom IM?

No idea, I saved that pic many years ago

My B14 is a Cusco ST'ed

The October 2007 issue of Grassroots Motorsports has an article on Annie Sam's NX2000. Page 58 show a picture of her Tecnosquare triangulated front strut tower brace. This is the best one I've ever seen.

Let's google it.

I lifted this off of her site, though I don't think it will fit a lowport...though it is pretty. I think with some flat stock and some creative placement, it could work on the lowport engines
