Custom rear brace
« on: February 27, 2017, 05:52:15 PM »
Just had my Custom rear brace delivered on Sunday thanks to Lee. I cant wait to fit it and try it out, (I will post my impression of it after fitting Tuesday or Wednesday) if I get time.
it,s Powder coated and looks the dogs dangleys, but more important I have heard rave reviews of it.
Bought from Mario (Barry) great guy great looking brace. Watch this space.

Mines better than yours Lee........... it,s Black ;D ;D ;) ;)
fitted today and yes you was right Lee, tremendous difference, more stable feels more planted on the road, looks loads better too, another MR2 part done away with.
I can only imagine what difference it will make when the lower center brace is fitted, already ordered and I cant wait.
Looking for more twisting roads all over again.
Credit to you Mario (Barry) a great job well done.

Looks like Mario is designing one to fit in the V6 cars too once mine is back.

As the V6 guys will know, the inlet manifold is quite high in the middle of the bay, so won't allow the brace bar to go straight across as the one shown in the picture above.
You can't raise the brace bar, as it will hit the fake engine, so Barry is having a re-think.

But be rest assured, there will be one coming for the V6 too, because it's on his list of things to do for me  ;D

Sorry Lee been very busy but Yes it,s fitted and WOW what a difference it makes more stable feels more rigid on tight fast corners
 (off road of course ;D) well worth buying and fitting it,s Awesome. Well done Mario (Barry) for design and fabrication it,s Excellent.
I am hoping the next project is a front brace ;) ;) but it will be a problem I think on mine as I have the MR2 spacesaver lid fitted (with modifications) also the location of the bonnet lock will cause problems, or possibly not to Barry  8)
See you at show Barry beer time ;D
