Just a peak into the prototype which was mocked up for test fitting.
There will be some minor changes such as fixings, a few mm positionings to correct, finish in colour, polish and paint. More information is in the Celica-club.co.uk. Main key pints abut this design: Universal for GT4 and non GT4 with it's modified horizantal bar being 5mm lower so NA's can shut their hoods. Horizontal bar being centralised between the top mounts for strogest point of support Entire structure being 10% thicker compared to other current brands in the market Made from AL6063 ,AL5052 Colour will be gun metal and silver. Correction from this: Release date: Coming soon. This post has been edited by yellowchinaman: Feb 3, 2010 - 3:55 PM |

just a comment that adjustable strut to strut would be better, but it is not as much of an impact as the adjustable strut to firewall...

At the moment the only strut to strut available for the 6G is the C One 2 point with the adjstable mid bar to extend and shorten the middle rod. However it was not made to fit the GT4 because it was basically too weak like a branch twig. The problem we found with this was: a) Under extreme cornering the load is way too much for the middle rod and quite often when set to hard the threads very quickly wear and is not sustainable. b) By extending and shortening the strut to strut can actually warp the frame and change the camber of the wheels in the long run. c) Very easy to install incorrectly causing A+B problems so rather then making a complicated accessory work, simply use a solid fixed corrected length. You can have the wheels aligned before strut fitment and not change camber after fitting or you can have alignment made after fitting. Both works without any worries. |
