Prototype chassis bracing for DC5

[JDM_DC5R]

lol the wheel and brake setup hasnt been done on a DC5, anywhere yet... anywhere.

The middle of the car can be sorted by bracing the underneath with cross brace and chassis rail braces, like the carbing ones. They will tie the front to the rear.

Someone in Japan has made a similar one to the above, its in my hyper rev mag some where.

And by the time you've done all this you have added 25-30kgs to the car and it still can't compete in Australian rally or circuit racing. Why not just build a cage and be done with it?

Team Kunimitsu is the name of the company I believe you are thinking of http://www.9231.com/products/index.html. Looks nice.

this is really getting silly. It is really about the look isnt it ? Gosh.
More camp designed bracing and bars arent necessarily better for your car and make it handle bettter - if anything worse. Also think about what happens in a accident....either the impact force is transferred much greater into the occupants or the brace itself snaps off due to dodgy welding and kills anyone inside with a nice ricochet.

DC5 owners...the new EK1 type R sedan owner of 2008 lol

this thread is much more informative and probably much more influencial on your cars handling and rigidity

Steelies painted bronze with drum brakes all round

LOLOLOL so funny

I call upon the ban hammer if they turn out to be CE28s. It's a big call to say no one else has done it unless you've checked every car in the world.

Haha nah I just have the same Hyper Rev .

That Team Kunimitsu company seems to specialise in bracing. I could ask one of my JDM speaking friends to give me a rough translation of the article about the DC5 that they fit all these braces to.
