YESSSS .. exactly what I would say.
it begs for chrome lettering!!!!

could even be LoLvo (dutch for FunVo)

the thing looks seriously nice, much cleaner than the regular welded fat-ass tube (as i got in my vario)

Thats what i wanted, it to look clean and smooth, as smooth detailing tends to compliment an angular car well i think, such as rounded spoked alloys, as opposed to flat spokes!!!

has it made any difference at all to handling?

Post by **340GLT** » 14 Jul 2005 09:09 am

Well thats debatable i suppose Hugh, because how can you test it?

Its also one of those illusion things that when you do it you get it into your head that it must improve it but who really knows? As far as i'm concerned i think it does, as when it was off the car being painted i drove a bit of road i know well, and when i threw it into one of the corners it felt very sloppy!! So????

If you can install the brace without using a bit of force it won't do much...
It has to be under a bit of tension to really work or else it wil just move on the pivots when the body twists...
