Project GD STI: Making the Front of the Car Stiffer with Ultra Racing

,

Once this is done the bumper cover comes right off.
 

Next, the front wheels are removed. 

 

The rest of the push pins holding the fender liners are removed.
 

The fender liner now drops out of the way completely. 
 

Next, the water shield on the passenger side of the car is removed. Our car did not have this on the driver's side.
 

Now the bolts holding the top of the fender down are removed.

  1. yeah sorry about that but as we transitioned to this new site it became clear that transferring the user accounts from the old site was a large and difficult undertaking. Since we didn’t bring the user accounts over, the comments couldn’t come with them either.

  2. I know this is a slightly older wright up, but I wanted to point out that these braces were installed with the car on jackstands, this could have been the culprit for aligning the door as the chassis flexes a bit to where the jack stands are. Same reason why its typically common to weld in a roll cage when the car is sitting on leveled ground.

    1. This is not the case in this car, maybe old cars. It’s just never easy to line up doors so you always have to be careful or you end up chipping the paint, etc.

  3. It looks like Ultra Racing has discontinued these braces. In your research, were there any other braces like these that stood out as maybe equal to or at least 2nd place compared to these? I was literally about to order some for my 04 and saw the “Discontinued” sign 🙁
