Everyone,
I will be fabricating a front strut bar for my Celica GT coupe, and am looking to see if there is any interest in them here. If so, I will make a JIG, and pump some out. Here are couple of pictures of a production run we made for the Nissan S-13 240sx. These are specifically designed for 240's with a top mount turbo setup, tall intake manifolds, or an RB engine swap. They are made with 1" steel tubing with a .095 wall thickness, and are powder coated with a wrinkle black finish. The celica bar will be made with the same type of materials, but it will have a design similar to the TRD strut bar. Let me know if there is any interest. Q

Alright, sorry i havent posted in a while. I am balancing these strut bars along with about 5 other projects. I am ironing out some details on the final design for the 3pt bars. I dont want to come out with a revision every couple weeks, so its imperitive that I finalize a design that will not only be tough, but look good. I think I have settled on $130 plus shipping, but I want them to look like the cost $200. I can only ask that you guys be patient, as it could be a few weeks before I get the first run done.

So did you ever decide whether or not you were gonna make these to fit the swapped cars as well as the regular USDM motors? Recall that I have experience with this and offered to help. And to answer some people's questions - from the looks of the design it will def fit both 5S-FE ST-204's and also 7A-FE AT200's - just not 3S cars
