How much POWAH are we talkin about here?

 

[MidShipCivic]

He's just exaggerating stock CT26 @ 15psi. We havent dynoed it but its been through some wear and tear racing.

Do you get snow where you are?

 

[MidShipCivic]

Do you get snow where you are?

:nono: Not in Central Florida lol!

 

[Silent Smith]

why would snow make a difference?

We get snow where I am but it don't cause my parts to snap :icon_razz

actually snow can cause parts to snap depending upon what you end up sliding into...

Salt on the road and corrosion......

Salt on the road and corrosion......

There was no rust damage on the subframe though I think it was from flexing (I see marks of damage on the drive shaft and bottom of body) these weak factory bushings!

 

[IJ.]

No probs was just wondering!

Seen a couple of these posted here that did have corrosion and thought it may be a factor.

Looks like I'll build up a spare and brace it just in case.

 

[MidShipCivic]

I'd say have some solid subframe bushings and skip the rubber mumbo jumbo, and have a strong flex resistance.

Like so, solid mount something I could easily design and have made.

Note: S2000 aftermarket bushing

Fully equipped machine shop here at home so no probs for me !

 

[boost PSSH boost]

wow, looks just like my 88 parts car's subframe...lol.

 

[Allan_MA70]

[IJ.]

No probs Al!

(I was thinking about the "Spare" to rebuild/brace then drop it in one weekend)
