Love this because that's literally what the Unibrace kit is. Not like they fabricated an elegant, threaded spacer, no. They tack welded a nut to a nutsert.

Oil change, trans fluid, and coolant flush today. Almost ready for the season!

Some progress on the bumper. Have to modify my brake ducts for clearance on the passenger side.

I haven't sourced the vinyl yet. Can't seem to find it, I dont think paint would work well

Installed the ecs trailing arm brace yesterday and did a full brake flush with fresh SRF.

The eurosport front firewall brace was su take but you could feel it slightly tighter. The ecs brace is pretty noticeable in tightening the feel up. I have 7 chassis braces now

we'll have to make another brace for you somehow.

I keep forgetting that I want the ECS rear brace. If you were able to feel the change after all the rest of your bracing, it must do quite a bit.

Soon. I messed the first version up and had to start over with a new sheet.

youndont happen to know the thread specs for this off the top of you head? I need to fab something that allows me to drop my UB because the unitronic TBE is to thickk. Thinking maybe a long nutset tacked like this to get some extension. I think it’s and M8 but I don’t have a way to check the thread pitch.
