I may see if Speed-source is willing to make us some traction control bars. Carl Crawford owns Speed-source and his fabrication skills are absolutely top notch. I am sure this will be a one time thing because of the low number of folks making any power. In other words, if you don't get it now, you likely won't be able to. I suspect the price will be in the $350 range. Post up if you are interested. If there are enough people, I will contact him and I suspect he will make them for us. I am looking for at least 8 people.

I spoke with Carl and he can make these for our cars. He will give me a final price when he finds out how many people are interested. This feeler will be open for a couple weeks and then I will tell him how many we have. I will then get a price and see if everyone is in. A deposit will be required at that time.

jay, i am VERY much interested, but money is EXTREMELY tight right now.
count me in as "interested". depending on how long they take to produce, that may give me enough time to come up with some scratch. -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)

If you want to PM me a price, I can estimate the package size and weight and get a "rough" estimate for you. -------------------- QUOTE(lagos @ Jul 10, 2006 - 1:55 PM) [snapback]454118[/snapback] i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this. |

bump to see if there is more interest. We need a few more to make this worth Carl's time.

come on people you have spent so much money on your cars, to make them more powerful, don't cheap out on something that will let you use that power. I believe that the main issue here is that this product has no reviews since it has not been made for 6gc yet, we do not know how much will it help, will it be worth the money, and will it put too much stress on susp. to mess things up and/or make maintenance tiresome.
The only way to answer these questions is have the guy build one for testing and if it would prove worthy $350 then i don't see a reason why people would 3s people spend that $$ on a gt4 bumper or jdm tails, instead on something as functional as a good traction bar. Jay, can he build you one for beta-testing ? -------------------- QUOTE(tufy @ Jul 19, 2006 - 7:40 AM) [snapback]458074[/snapback] i dont drive fast, i just fly low |
