I know some excellent examples of this are available commercially, that's where I got the idea off these forums. I was looking for another welding project after my track tire trailer since I bought a MIG welder last fall. I saw pictures of the Mazdaspeed shock tower brace and I thought, heh that can't be too hard to do with the original OEM brace. So I went to Home Depot and bought a $6.00 piece of 1/8" flat bar and a can of Rustoleum and this is what I ended up with. I only drove it around the block so I don't really have a feel for its effect which is probably only going to be evident when I go back to the track in the spring. But I think it's going to work out. For anybody with access to a welder it was a relatively easy project. Please no snide comments on my welds, I think it matches the OEM bar without looking stupid.

 

Excellent job...If you can do it...why not...it feels better when you do it yourself!!

 

Looks great!

 

Nice, looks almost OE.... good job

 

Excellent idea, nice sig too.

Pepsigruber!! Haha hillarious skits there...


Anyways that brace looks nice, anyway you can do mine

 

very nice. hhhhmmm, welding done in tampa!

Yeah, welding cheap $50/hr. Grinding so it looks like I know what I'm doing, $200/hr.

 

And for swoope, $400/hr?

Nice work. Keep waiting for someone to put out a 4-point with a brace but I may have someone do this for me.
