Great pics! Makes me want to be wrenching again!
I built a garage 2 years ago, so it's not too bad! I wasn't psyched about having to do it for the third time in a year though!
Now I'm working on wasting a set of tires!
Moved it to the upper garage so we can load up tomorrow and head out to the Pontiac-Oakland Club National show in Illinois! Anyone else attending?
I really want to get a set of three point, weld on UMI SFC's on my WS6, I can feel the chasis flex well before the suspension and tires are near saying "uncle" on the on/off ramps. I want to get the car stiffened enough before the front control arms, and the new-ish springs go on.
I started with 2 points and then swapped to 3 points after we decided to engage in straight line racing with our car. I honestly could not notice a difference between the 2 and 3 points from the driver's seat. There is no question though that the 3 points do tie everything together under the car.
i do agree 3pt >2pt> nothing
Just was correcting the thought that they do nothing...
Yes, more mounting points = more rigidity. As fat as 2-points being enough for street driving, that might be true but more rigidity will only help the drivng matters on the car. Even if the 3-point is only 5-10% more than the two points, its great insurance, escpecislly for the cabin, take a look at the begining of the "Frankenbird" thread, and you will know why I want the additional rigidity.
I spent a good amount of my past career working in bodyshops and have seen what "a little more rigidity" can do. If there was a 4 or 5-point SFC, and it was a good design, and at a reasonable price point, I would buy it.
I wouldn't even consider anything less than 3 point if it were me.

I just had my 3 point SFC's installed a couple weeks ago. I can't compare 2 vs 3 but there's a noticeable difference in performance and ride. They really tightened up the car - well worth it imo. Brakes upgraded as well to slotted rotors , Hawk perf. pads and braided steel lines. Another very worthy upgrade - even more noticeable of a difference from stock. Gotta go Auto-X ing now !!
I like the three point but at more than double the price it is tough to justify when only a street car.
Test fitted my race star wheels with my CTSV brakes. They fit great. Now I just need some tires.

So.....I got around to doing this. I really do like it. It's been painted using that plastidip stuff. Just wanted to see how it would look to make up my mind on getting them Powder-coated like this.

Damn Jon! What happened? Where you just driving along and the tensioner pulley exploded?
Yikes! That is all tore up. Was that a stock tensioner or an aftermarket piece?
