Worry not, on Saturday I'll be doing a time attack at NJMP. I'll post my findings after the event. I wish GTSPEC made more parts for the RX8; they really make superb quality products. |

GTSPEC 6 pt Upper bar installation issue
4 Attachment(s)
Ok, maybe I'm doing this wrong in the absence of any intructions, but I can't fit the pieces which bridge between the firewall and fender. Does anyone have detail pics of this area as installed? The problem is that the side of the trangle running back from the shock tower to the firewall area is too long for the supplied brackets to fit by a substantial amount ~1.5". I'm assuming they serve only to push out against the fender area since there doesn't seem anything to bolt it to. The triangle brace as supplied also seem to be different than the pics on the GTSPEC website, though the factory bag is indeed labelled "RX-8". Can anyone tell me if I have the right pieces and if so, how are the fender brackets fitted?

Instructions are online on gtspec.com

Those brackets do bolt in yu have to gone under the wheel well liner to bolt it directly to the wall of the engine bay

Also, don't fully tighten any of the bolts until everything is loosely connected. GL man, this bracing is really really worth the install. |
+1.

This is x100 easier with 2 people. One to hold the bracket in the fender and one to loosely bolt the top of the side down.

how did your lower front setup go? I have a frozen bolt that is stopping me from installing it.

Still don't know what he's talking about. By the way, I had a 600 mile weekend to run down to the Indy RX8 Club Mazdafest and was very pleased how the car ran even on the Interstate. Yes, the front is stiffer, but the ride is not seriously compromised.

I thought i remember reading something during the development of these parts that there was going to be a brake master cylinder brace on the 6-point. Did that not make it in to production or am i just making things up?
