Strutt 200sx S13 and Piccies

First tings first. I have met Gary from Durbs, during the weekend. What a freindly young man and full of 200sx energy. Nice meeting you Gary.
Secondly, he brought with him my strutts front and back along with him.
I fitted the front strutt in minutes. Perfect fit Gary. I took the sx for an immediate test drive.
Now: There are no words for this. But let me try. In the first 50 meters, my arms were full of goose bumps. I shouted out loud to myself "you have a new car, a new suspension for that matter". Could not beleive what I was experiencing. I lost 50% of rattles. Even the bloody rooftop was still. It was like me driving on an air bag. Solid, solid, solid stuff. The sx going around corners like no other car. It just sit there in the corner with all the confidence in the world. Now for me, this was the best mod ever on my sx. No imagination, just pure joy. Great stuff, great strutts Gary. Thanks man. Some pics:

Nice chrome bars, front and back

Now I want a pair 😛

Freddie was kind enough to let me test-drive his "new" car. It was a lot to take in... small steering wheel, amazing power from the water/meth, amazing response from the engine, and amazing handling! Wow, what a car Freddie has built himself!! I am immensely impressed 🙂

en nou...

nou soek ek ook 'n pair!!!

gary - how much were they???

chemcool - wait until you get rid of that squishy rubber steering column bush, and you change all your suspension bushes to polyurethane!!!!

i cannot stress enough the difference that the above mods made, and in conjunction with the strut braces, it would be a new go-kart!!!

gary - how much were they???

I remember Gary said me was the last one helped out with the strutts 😛

But seriously I think you get them from rezlo slightly more expensive that Gary has done. I think Gary said it is time constraning and no profit, but goodness, I am so bloody happy chappy.

I am immensely impressed

Thank you very much.

😂 Cant beat you. YOu just funny and that is it. 😮 😮

Not a problem glad you are enjoying it. Wait till you fit the rear brace 90% of the squeaks will be gone 😀 .

Done that - yes, lots and lots of sqeeks gone. You know I dont feel my low profile tyres(40) so hard anymore. More smooth...

Ja the car is less bumpy just more stiff.

so gary, when can i get my pair???

how much are they?

and i am deliberately ignoring chemicalromances comments!

I will only make them again if there are enough people who want. This making 1 set every month or so is KAK. They are R1000ea. So if you want get a few guys together and Ill see what I can do.

I contacted a guy now in Australia the strut braces are retailing for ±R500 for the fronts and a little less for th rears...

He will get back to me on a price of 10 pairs shipped South Africa... So we might get away for ±R700 a pair, and they look something like this

competition is a great thing isn't it!

and they look something like this

MYNE is MOOIER. It is locally hand made. 😂 😂 8) 8) 😛 😛

Nah i'm not competing agains Gary, he mentioned somewhere that he isn't making a profit from it... so am I... I just want some struts BUT if I can get them cheaper why not. 😀

I just want some struts BUT if I can get them cheaper why not.

I would do the same 😂 .

If you guys need some Ill see if I can make a plan, BUT let me know if you are keen cause those front bars are hard to find.

PS: this is the last time I am making, so if anyone else one tell me now.

Let put a list together as big as possible... Then we check what you can arrange...

and then we know what your product quality is like we don't have do judge from images we can go and see it on actual cars 😀

We put a list together, if we reach a good amount they put in a deposit... so you don't have huge initial costs...

Thats what Im talking about. I will make for you and veecee if you guys want 😉 . I just dont want anyone asking in 2 weeks for me to make them some 😈 .

I enjoy making them but not every weekend. Wish I could think of something else I need to make 😕 , any ideas??
