| I'm aiming for £180.00 or less for the full kit. We've found a K&N filter that's to within a few mm the same size as the arc foam filter and its common to certain ford cars has a drop in filter in the standard air box. So its reasonably priced and easily available. Other performance filters would probably fit too. |

They have the same effect as the strut braces. Its just stiffening the shell lower down. Lets face it all are cars are over fifteen years old and need all the help they can get. Yes you would notice a difference but only with spirited driving ... |

Good news !
My 19 years old Cappuccino is going to see some serious trackday action, so any stiffening is a good thing, as you said |

If you want it with out powder coating that's not a problem. I know where i am with all the other parts. The top strut bars are £12.00 for powder coating and the bottom brace bars are £12.00 a pair coated. Ive had a guess on the tunnel brace at £20.00. Its a very high quality job and very durable. |

Front top strut bars going to be eighty odd pounds not sure about the back yet because its a different to the original but very funky and you can still get the spare wheel out and store the roof panels without fear of damaging them ...... |

The pair of lower braces go where the subframes bolt to the floor pan at the front and back of the car. Not sure what you mean about the 4' or 3's bit  ... |

Sorry i worded that wrong,
I just meant that i thought there would be 4 braces, as the halfway one has 4 horizontal links!
Any idea how much these would cost shipped to Australia? |

The fourth bar that's separate on the halfway picture is the back brace bar that they sell has part of there other kit. The picture you posted from yahoo has four bars in the kit but they have included the front subframe bar. I could go one better and do five bars. front and back subframe bars and three tunnel bars . Like this but with out the joint rails on the tunnel bar. few!  |

Thanks a lot, Steve.
By the way, I'm in France. I don't think it's an issue for postage, but I'd rather say it now.
There might also be one or two other french guys interested in your nice braces.
Another question: would it be possible to make an ARC type airbox but with a bigger pipe, or no pipe at all (if it's not too hard to adapt a bigger one) ?
I'm asking because my IHI RHF4 turbo (not fitted yet) intake is bigger, and it would be nice not to restrict it.

France is not a problem What size pipe do you want and is the air inlet in the same postion as standard turbo ? Its not a problem to go larger at no extra cost. |

The turbo's inlet pipe has an outer diameter of 45mm, and I'd need a straight air inlet, no bends required
Are you planning to do all the airboxes at once ? When is the production supposed to start, if you already know ? |

The pipe on the airbox is 45mm already. It needs a crank in the pipe when it comes out of the back of the airbox or you can't get the bend on the other end that goes into the turbo . Ive bought enough material to do eight airboxes. If you like shiny things you'll love these ... |
