heinzboehmer's 2002 Topaz 6MT Coupe

Nice WORK!

This sounds more and more like a MUST do, IMO you should be damn proud of what you have pulled off.

I am so curious how must of an impact this will have on my convertible.

Appreciate it!

It should still make a difference. Hard to quantify how much, but it'll for sure help with strut tower deflection in a similar way as it does on the coupe.

That's amazing! Great work

Thanks!

Had another friend drive it a few days ago and he was similarly blown away. Hell yeah.

Did a B-A-B test with a friend today and confirmed that I'm not crazy!

Started with the braces on, drove around the block, removed them, drove around the block, put them back on, drove. He was skeptical that they would make much of a difference, but once the car got up to speed (~30 mph), he immediately noticed a difference. He was kinda blown away by how different the car felt to drive with and without the braces. Felt pretty proud when I saw that reaction

Anyway, firewall plug CAD is almost there. Should be able to start cutting/printing soon.

That's amazing! Great work

I was thinking something like this combo would work, but I need to take a better look to see if 22mm OD is too big.

Titanium for the weight saving for my vert...

heinzboehmer apologies for the journal hi-jack

I was thinking something similar but with a rubber or plastic washer, but never mind that. Titanium FTW.
