Strut Bar
 

Im in engineering class right now and i have to come up with a design project. I am thinking of making a strut tower brace and maybe a battery box or something for my car i was wondering if the strut tower braces have any special design or is it simply a connector to stiffen the frame. I dont know amyeb you fellas can give me a good idea for something else.

Just go copy the Carbing 3 pt strut bar that connects to the firewall and make some for super cheap and sell me one. It's not really rocket science but so it don't flex otherwise it's nothing but dead weight.

Re:Strut Bar
 

do not copy the carbing brace, as if you do it wrong you'll put a whole in your firewall. make one sort of like the mugen one (a real mugen one) w/ no flexing/heim jointed points on it. that connects the strut towers together.

not to thread jack or anything but,

whats your opinions on the factory honda strut braces. ( the ones that come on gsr's, type r's and si's)


think its ok, or should i go aftermarket??

Re:Strut Bar
 

they're very weak pieces, better than nothing i guess, but i would definitely say get a good aftermarket one.

make somthing fucntional as apposed to non-functional...does that help?

Re:Strut Bar
 

i mean we got a drill press and a cnc maching and everything and a pipe benderand what not i jsut cant think of a good legitameate project i figured a strut bar would be good for a temp project.
