Well here are a couple of things i jsut got on the car recently.

Put on the full MS body kit about two months ago, and you can see the knight spoiler int he back.

I will get better pics of the car soon, I have the knight sprots front vents as well. The strut brace stiffened the heck out of the car, crazy difference.

 

wow, never seen that before, sexy looking brace, how much did it weigh?

edit, is that a cover? any pix of whats underneath?

 

^ Me too. I want more info on this piece, seen it before but have no idea how it helps.

 

wow thats new to me, very nice

 

that is a crazy ******* brace

 

Where do you go through to get these parts? I need to get some stuff from Knight Sports for my R3.

 

looks really nice but man i would hate having to take off all those nuts to access the engine outside of the two "holes"

 

that strut brace is epic fail imo

 

that is a huge *** strut bar / cover

 

Agreed... how do you add oil??? Take the whole thing off... meh, plus it probably holds in heat as well, it negates the bonus bracing with extra heat...

Looks kinda cool though, but my Mazdaspeed Strut bar is just as good and also has a MC brace....

 

wow crazy brace but I'm absolutely loving it!

usually dont see anything "new" that I have never seen at all

 

i agree to it holding heat but looks crazy good imo ... good job bro

 

more pics of the spoiler would be awesome!

i actually kinda like it!

 

Wow. That brace is a stunning work of art. Now we just need to get you on some better fitting wheels.

 

it is 100% composite. the center rotor shaped cover comes off so you can add / change oil. It bolts to the fire wall in 5 places, unlike some of the others that only bolt to the fire wall in 2 places. its fairly light for what it is, probably less than 5 lbs or so. as far as holding in heat.... not much differant than the hood with fiberglass fabric on the underside about an inch above it where the brace currently is, or the oem engine cover. The brace is used on the Knight Sports race car in Japan, so its a track proven part. what i know rite now; is that it stiffened the hell out of the front end of the car. with the MS coilovers, sway bars, and a couple of other susspension goodies im almost track ready! Really just waiting on my Wheels now.

Thanks for the complements

 

Interesting.. Never seen it before so props to you

 

HA HA yah, have a stagard set of work VS XX wheels on the way, they missed the boat so i wont get them until the beg of next month.

I have never been a fan of the wheels i have on my car, hit a pot hole on the freeway in the middle of the night took both passenger wheels out, and it was all lesschwab could get on a sat. to get me going again.

 

Stiff does not always = faster...

 

^^^ Yup, thats why im worried about getting really really stiff sways... im thinking RB sways will be perfect...

 

corksport id knight sports direct seller here in the US...check the website and they have a ton of knight sport goodies for you.

 

umm interesting how it pops up for the oil check and stuff

 

Yah, thats why i went with MS coilovers and sways vs others. it is actually perfect! The stiffness from the brace was just very noticable and its in the chassis not the susspension. its not like my MX3 at all. I have Koni's with ground controls and cusco camber plates, etc on it and it is like riding on rails. it will beet the **** out of ya literally.




And Corksport would be the place to go if your intrested in getting something from Knight Sports.

 

the knight sport strut brace looks awesome. congrats!

 

Wow that thing is huge
Look very functional but not practical.

Nonetheless, its looks sporty

 

Wow you don't see that everyday haha, nice
