i want, could some one please tell me what make (sparco, omp)
they have possibley with a picture, thank you

 

have one on mine think its a sparco jobbie




its in there somewhere

 

i have an omp one on mine got it off ebay no pics sorry

 

mines from amber performace powder coated black same as yours i think gus

 

Dont no what mine is just that its very strong and light and well finished

 

andysrs

thats what style i like, i ant one like that ideally

 

I have a custom made one from AVA, made from stainless steel

 

some1 told me to not get one as my car has full poly bush kit and on koni adjustables. they said the ride would be horrible. is this true? as i want a strut brace as i feel its a good bit of engine bay eye candy as well as doin its job well

 

Mine is completly polly and also has Konis and the ride isnt any different

 

strut brace it is then.

 

shouldn't make any difference what your running i would have though, mines all newish standord stuff, only real difference i've noticed is i cant light up the wheels in first any more which is great for those hard launches off the lights.

 

Andysrs:
That's a Wiechers strut brace available in aluminum and red steel.
I think the steel one was around 60e only. Here's a picture of my previous car's engine bay:

 

Thanks Jesse T definatly the same

 

i will be going for one like this

 

hi, Andy here on the missus computer

cant be bothered to login, i know im a lazy so ansd so

JesseT

do you know where they are available from?

T28's looks too

 

OMP as seen here. Available for around £60 from most motor-spares places: motorworld, halfrauds, etc.

Not keen on the 'full' strut-top covering types so went for the 'open' type.



Not sure if I'm gonna fit it to the S1 tho as the strut tops are very good and don't know if I want to drill them to fit it.

 

could always weld it, slightly more permanent tho

 

Think I'd like to keep under there as standard as poss: metal-wise
That's why I went for a 4x4 Cossie cooler with custom made rad underneath so I don't have to cut the slam panel or the front panel to fit them.
But also think it would look good once it was painted up to match other bits & bobs in my engine bay.

 

OMP on my car

 

That engine bay always brings a tear to my eye, Everytime i look at it.

 

got one exactly the same on mine ..chrome plated as well....came of ebay...about £50ish

 

about e-mailing them with an order:
service@wiechers-sport.de
Since the prices are on their website,
http://www.wiechers-sport.de/ (click on "domstreben" )
, I'd think the will supply you directly.

I bought mine with a group buy we organized within our club. We also ordered directly from Wiechers.

top man

 

The one i have also acts as an engine brace which bolts onto the side of the head to reduce engine movement, its on a rubber bush at the strut bruce to reduce vibration

The brace is made from stainless steel to stop it from bending as its getting pulled on all the time, a worthwhile mod that really does make a difference

 

i e mailled them and they referred e to a UK company,
but the UL company seems only to deal with BMW and there offices
are not open

 

ive got a sparco front one and an odd kid rear brace to fit.
cant wait to drive it when the rears on
