doesnt the vti come with a strut brace? or is it just jordans?

 

[crxhugh]

yeah they do, but they look crap and are as stiff as a 90year old without the magic V pills!! >:-(

 

[Alec]

Jordans come with a rear upper strut brace as standard?!

 

[crxhugh]

no, front, same as the VTi's

 

[stug45]

not a rear one. wouldnt have boot space!
my current one i couldnt bend when i took it off. plus i was expecting not to be able to get it on again as the turrets got closer together but it was fine

i think i should have just got a vti and stripped it and put new front seats in and got boost vtec Y0!

 

[crxhugh]

lol, they are really flexi, i bent one by throwing a spanner at it in rage (it was lent in the corner of the room) so i then tried to use it as a lever bar and it just folded like origarmi without even putting effort into it lol

yea i do know their designed for compressive strength, but my new ones better lol

 

[stug45]

its comfy and good handling with it and wobbly without lol

Looking good mate, does this mean i need to clean mine and shine it up for japfest as well

 

[crxhugh]

yea!!! i'm gunna pollish it b4 i go on track, then again the next day for the show sad

 

[Jugga]

mine needs a clean bad, i need to get the orbital on the bonnet and roof lacquer fade sucks. teh worse thing i have is heat shield on my back box has lost a few spot welds and resonates at 3k. which means i either change up or keep the revs climbing to get past it .

i was thinking about strut braces and even new antiroll bars for mine but id ratehr lower it. wish i had money

 

[Edd]

Will you pass noise regs with that exhaust? just noticed your parked in a disabled bay as well the wardens will have you you know!

 

[Alec]

TBH as long as your exhaust isn't a cheap Ashley one they should all pass noise regulations.

 

[crxhugh]

its a 95DB exhaust its nothing like as loud as it looks (i dont like the look of it but it was cheap 2nd hand so i had it and its Blitz ) we've got testing equiptment so im gunna test it here at uni first just to check

the dissabled bay is outside my house, its my neighbours n he dnt have a car so said i could use it
