Thanks guys. I dont really care about how it looks either. Trust me. The car is flogged within an inch of its life every track day. We will be doing the fd season and wdc season next year. Look for it. Also it looks much better now. Also it will look clean once everything is painted..

are those extra braces in the engine bay just for holding togethor the front end or do they actually add substantial stiffness to the chasis?
edit: ok I didn't see the missing wheelwells. real cute of me. KEvin

Dear god, what wer eyou welding with? stick? looks like a setup that is meant to be flogged the hell out of, very nice. i was doing the same thing with the tubing in the front of the s14, only slightly different, i wonder if it makes a noticable difference. good stuff, ill see you in atlanta then

Those welds were done with a mig that had run out of gas. We will be rewelding it this weekend. There is also a tube going across the front infront of the radiator.
It has stiffened the chassis like crazy. There is also gussets behind the fenders welded on. The wing actually looks good on the car in person, and it should look ok when painted. Thats not an attempt at a fake blacktop. that is a ceramic coating, the same was done to the block, head, intake manifold, tubo, turbo manifold. Thanks for the props people.

i will regulate who is from the south and arkansas makes it, barley. i had to research that because i wasnt sure. you are admitted to sleeping with family, extreme amounts of alcohol, loving nascar, being a racist dumb biggot, having a mullet, hating gays, posessing a raised truck, and saying get ur dun along with many other stupid privilages. how many ape hours were put into the...bracing i suppose is what i would call it? also is this car still going be street driven? and are you weary of any possible side effects come accident or do you believe this has actually improved slightly?

uhh...it's a track car...i think it'll be fine...
that's SICK the way you gutted the fenders though...anyways i've never seen anything like that before...very cool i'm interested in doing some chassis strengthening like that (after my accident i've been paranoid) will that do anythign bad if you crash head on? or will it actually be stronger? |

Not sure exactly where the crunch areas are on the 240sx up front but if they are in front of the wheel well any front end collision would most likely be worse.
