Well, can't say I've seen it before! Lol.

 

Lol! I wanted something between a standard tuck and more extensive trim (like 2TH PWR's Z shown below) and this is what I got. Stock aero for life!



On the ground:

 

Damn 4x4 status...I wish my car could make it up those kind of ramps

 

^^^ Must be nice to have a low-hanging body kit to make your car LOOK low

 

Your face is low-hanging!

 

 

Looks good, I like it!

I have something low hanging... and it's not my face.

Thanks Eric, see you tomorrow

 

Earlier today I visited my good friends at their shop in Oxnard to get a crash bar fabricated for my Z:

Random shop pics:





Yes, that is an epic Torchmate CNC plasmacutter on with a 10'x5' workable area.

Mmm.. weld ****:



Waiting patiently..



Progress:



Finished! Also added tabs for my Setrab oil cooler that will be installed after I relocate my PS cooler and reorganize the lines



After my new bar was bolted up and I was fitting my bumper back on, we figured out that the corner reflectors were preventing proper install. For a second panic set in, but I unscrewed the reflectors and the bumper fit perfectly with the welded endcaps showing through spaces left behind.. Love the end result.



Will be painting the bar dark grey soon to prevent rusting.

 

Looking good petey.

 

Sweet Job! It's looking good.

 

Nice. So is that bar just stronger than the oem crash bar?

 

Pretty insane cage work on those offroaders. You were't kidding about that shop. Pshhh, racecar don't need crash bar, just unnecessary weight. lol

 

Didn't even notice your brakes at the last meet, looking good

 

Thanks guys

Yeah it is; I never replaced my crash bar after my unfortunate accident and I wanted something to mount my wide oil cooler off of effectively.

Yeah they race professionally in a couple different classes/organizations and are completely insane behind the wheel. And honestly it's not as much of a crash bar as it is a solid mount for my Setrab oil cooler..

Thanks Wais, way to not pay attention to me


Rattle-canned the bar today with engine enamel, will wetsand smooth when I have a chance to go to the hardware store

 

Just get it powder coated, should be around 40-50 bucks.

 

^^^ No need for a simple bar, if I modify and add onto it down the road I may sandblast/powdercoat though

 

Noticed that bar is very similar to this one:

alot of local Z drift guys have that same one from enjuku

 

Definitely similar, but mine mounts on all four points on each side, has tabs for my oil cooler, is a constant radius instead of two bends, and of course was free
