Gomez's ULTIMATE build thread Lots of pics

Just in case I don't ignore the wrong post, lol, They are not adjustable. I wish they were so I could use edfc set-up. But they are really in good condition. I have already talked to Tein a couple days ago. They are going to revalve them for me for use with 175# springs in the front and 125-150# in the rear, and I did confirm they are from a Demio. Then I am going to send them to an anonymous gent (unless he doesn't care to remain anonymous) on here to mod the rear shaft up for me. They are going to be really sweet when done. Hopefully send them out within a few weeks. Just as soon as I get my seats back. Then it will be ENGINE TIME BABY!!!!!

Started something new today with hopes of better handling the extra HP I'm throwing at it. Got to finish the top one then copy both for the other side. Then start bending a little bit of tubing. Should be pretty easy but super beneficial. Any guesses.

You're building chassis supports for the prevention of chassis bend and strength?

Yes, but HOLY CRAP not quite that big and beefy though. I have never seen these before. I am modeling mine after some I saw available for the 323. Very simple but I am sure a bit effective here

If I can interject here, if this is a track car, go with the eBay layout, if its a road car, go with braves suggestion or perhaps a stealthy looking eBay style one but made to look like braves combining the minimalist look of the eBay one in the form of a plate.

Since nothing is available to fit the Festiva I am gonna have to build it. Soooooooo, I will be building the lighter easier one, lol. I am just looking for a little extra up and down support i.e. not wanting to rip the front end off the car. But I also don't want to interfere with the overall picture the Festiva offers. I am trying to follow Charlie's footsteps but also trying to implement some of my own stuff too. The Idea was actually Jake's.

I kinda like fabbing stuff up from scratch. That's what makes car building fun. too bad I am a little lacking in the power tool dept. Anyone have a good band-saw they wanna sell??????????

Mine hasn't ripped apart....yet.looking good.

Your car is another that mine is being modeled after. The way you launch that thing time after time really is a testament to the integrity of the Festiva. I am just doing it for a little extra security and peace of mind. Plus they look cool.

Makes me curious to take a fender off and check for damage. I've been wanting to go to the Charlie front brace, but haven't had the time.

Brace it up before you start and you'll never have any issues.

Mine has been abused, and continues too daily.
