Hello guys, wonderin if anyone here knows where to get a good strut bar for the i30. There are 2 at ebay; one of them from shark racing and the other from germany (i guess).So, wonderin if there are any more sites or locations where I could find a good one for a bargain?

A quick one for our Aussie members:

'Force flow electric supercharger'. Do you guys recommend this item item? Im lookin into a simple mods only..

thanks

Dunno about the strut bar, but I suggest you read THIS article. The chances that it will give a noticeable improvement is very unlikely. You need some serious electrical capacity to give a significant boost and if you have significant boost, you also need to replace or reprogram the ECU. You would be better off spending money on a real supercharger or turbocharger.

There's been some discussion about the whys and wherefores of fitting a strut bar.

tzwientjuh has fitted one and you can read about his experiences here and here. Also, have a look on kspec :)

I had a look into rear strut bars, but the few companies I looked up didn't make or stock i30 ones. I just have to search my emails to find the companies!  :twisted:

The Turbo Zet thing was hilarious :lol:

I'm not really into making major changes to my car. Just need sumtn to make the driving a 'little' more fun.  :wink:


By the way, the thread bout the strut bar was very helpful! Thanks a lot.

Only got it back yesterday. The car looks as good as new. They did an excellent job. :)

Great news Oggie.. If you don't mind me asking did you have to pay the insurance excess or was it all covered by the other party...
