I relize I have posted 2 other threads on this but this one is gauging the real intrest on these. I met with a guy from the forums in person and showed him how it looked and he said he would reply on this, so hopefully I have trust in you all now, I'd like to get a couple people to give some money down I know neocry is intrested, I will get them into production as soon as possible only the front one's for now then the rear and what not down the road. and here are some pictures so you can look at it again.

 

I've seen these in person, these are very legit!

We met up tonight and I saw it installed on his car, super sturdy and looks great. The pics dont even do it justice. My stillen FSTB is for sale once he makes my new FSTB. Its not only more heavy duty than the Stillen FSTB but I think it looks better in person as well. I'll have mine grinded smooth and color match.

 

Hopefully my iTrader feedback can vouch for my credibility on here, so this hopefully can instill some trust and have you all feel comfortable about putting down deposits for materials so he can produce more of these...

 

Looks great!!! Look at that clearance, it's not rubbing/touching against any of the engine components.

FYI - you still didn't tell me the your paypal address.

 

my only problem with these is this, how many welds and what type of steel/metal are you using? and how much as i have to trust op's opinion and expierience on this. will you paint and or color match for extra $$$$???

 

I'm down to buy one. I can put down a deposit if needed.

 

Im selling them for 175 (plus shipping of course)

Yeah I guess I could color match for extra.

And there are 4 welds total, just mild steel, its very stong

 

Mild steel is going to rust quickly, right?

 

It has to be painted or it will rust yes. I have the recources to make solid alunium ones, but the price would be way to much to make them..

 

If these fit over an 00vi I'm definitly in for one let me know

 

We eyeballed it in comparison to my set-up with my Stillen FSTB and 00VI, it looks like it has more clearance if anything. We still need to install it on my car to be sure though.

 

Bump!

Could you please provide an update with your progress?

Thanks

 

Im sorry I've been very busy with school, and what not.. We test fitted it and it did not fit on his maxima due to his is lowered and it had pushed the strut towers closer together over time, so I am working on a adjustable bar which will solve this issue, I have the expandable part made, and Im also working on designing the rear strut bars, after this weekend I should have some stuff done, With the adjustable you will be able to keep it adjustable, or if you want get it set where it goes and then ship it back and I'll weld it solid for you, its hard to make custom stuff from long distances, but It can be done. Im sorry for taking so long

 

Is it strong enough to tow with?

 

 

Adjustable-ness?? hmmmmm..... doesn't that defeat the whole point of you making these 'one piece' bars in the first place? In for pics and updates.

 

sarcasm.....for the slow ones ok?

 

I know......

 

Well You cant make a solid one fit every car the same, its imposible, So Im going to make them adjustable, the main point is if you want to send it back I can weld it solid and its is a custom made solid bar for your car but it should be plenty stong if you dont want to do that you shouldent have to, sometimes you just have to imporvise when you hit a bump in the road.

 

Just to let you all know I've been busy with these here are some updates.

I have bought 40ft of steel to start making them

And I almost have the rear strut bar designed, still have a few things to do but here are some pictures.

 

and now the finished build, still needs a good sandblasting and paint but its adjustable and I will see how it fits on 96blackmaxSe car here soon to tweak it a smidge,

 

Test fitting this week!

 

Well we test fitted it and it fits great, here is a picture,



I'll wait for Andrew to give you the run down of his opinion on it. remember it still needs the final touches its not complete quite yet

 

really diggin the rear brace might just need to hop on this too

 

Better pics please, also pics of the center.

 

nice

 

It is so stiff, I can definitely feel my back end stay tight. I've been hitting corners really hard lately and It just plants my back end, awesome.

 

And yet they're out there. See Neuspeed.

Fitment can be a bit tricky, but they DO go on.

 

thats not a bad price for a solid one piece strut bar. this one looks 100x more solid (and actually get the purpose intended out of a strut bar) that the cheap ebay ones (which i have and seriously was no difference than not having one) and any 3 piece strut bars out there...

was the car in the air when you tried installing it? i read in a magazine article years back that when you install strut bars you always have the car in the air when installing. this is due to, like you said, having the strut towers coming in closer to each other. i've been pondering about making one piece strut bars, this one looks solid.
+1...

 

Updatesto follow. Ive returned the rear brace. He's fitting the rear for my car. Also we will test after adjustments.

 

Is it ready yet? Is it ready yet? Is it ready yet? Is it ready yet? Is it ready yet? Is it ready yet? Is it ready yet?

Just kidding. Let me know when your done Ben.

 

Any updates on either the FSTB or RSTB?

 

Yup, interested also, the other max needs a set front and rear.

 

this looks good
