Interesting chassis upgrade, I wonder if they're better than spot welding the chassis. Because my welding skills are shitty to say the least.

QUOTE(huakenny @ Sep 17 2012, 09:06 PM) spot welding and stiff rings not the same....coz this collar is insert to the subframe bolts....to fill the gap between the sibframe and the bolt True true. They aren't the same but I guess they both aim for the same effect which is to stiffen up the ride and try to reduce flex/skip/movement as much as possible by increasing rigidity. spot welding is to the chassis, yet the subframe and subframe bolt still got gap in between Just wondering how much better it is than say moving towards titanium carbon strut bars for the front and rears with firewall bracing and other upgrades when it comes to pure trackwork and the comparison of effect with other upgrades. |

QUOTE(huakenny @ Sep 18 2012, 08:22 AM) if the engine is not replaced with another type...normally dun need spot welding chassis, as it will failed the puspakom test. unless its off road use, then it is ok. Nah, just want the rigidity. Probably better off with stiffening foam though. Plus I haven't welded for a very long time and taking apart the Evo to reach the chassis seems to be a bit excessive. for normal street use, normally what we see is upper strut bar installed, which is mount at absorber top mounting areas..be it front or rear. and most oem jdm sports car comes with it originally. The Evo comes to front struts, but I just have a thing for exotic materials like Titanium and carbon |
