@jeffreyfranz: Haven't heard any negative reviews yet

@psipwrd: As far as I know, no-one has tried this yet so I can't be sure. Looking at pictures though, it looks like the little bolted on side braces would interfere with the gearbox. The main part of the RMB, as well as the TAB don't look to be an issue. The price would be 295+95+88.30

Thanks for the info on Moroso pan clearance, BTW - that is important. (I wonder if I still have one boxed up or not.. 😅). May be interested in jumping in on another run, if not!

 

[psipwrd]

You can take me off of the list Sir, won't clear the K swap header

Toyonda, which K-swap header do you have? I have the 1320 Performance ramhorn, guessing this means it wouldn't be able to clear either...

These RMB's and TAB's are now sold out, but I'll be making a new batch of 10 of each. Let me know if you're interested and I'll put you on the list!

Either we had a communication breakdown or my "senior moments" have increased in time and space: I thought I was already on this list. What happened? If you do not already have me on this list, please add me to the next one. Thank you.

Well, you asked to be put on the list in the breastplate thread, so I put you on the list for a breastplate. I did not realize you were interested in these as well, apologies for that. But I will put you on the list for the next batch

Oh, that's what it was. I remember that now. Then, at some point you posted that the FMB would not work on 2003+ Spyders. I must have shifted the order over to RMB in my mind but not in reality. Thanks for understanding and for putting me on this list.

 

[Snelbaard]

But just to be sure, you would still be interested in a breastplate? Those will be ready any day now.

Well, I am unsure. Here is a quote from you in the FMB thread.
Please note these will not work on 2004 / 2005 cars with updated front subframe!

• Do you still think that this is true?
• In your experience, which brace makes the biggest difference (FMB vs. RMB)?

I wouldn't blame you if you get tired of answering questions like this over and over again. I apologize. I just haven't thought about this or followed the threads for a long time. Thank you very much. - JT

 

[Snelbaard]

No worries. To your points:

• yes, this is true
• in my experience, a breastplate makes the biggest difference, followed by a front strut brace (which I don't make). FMB and RMB are about equal.

The FMB and RMB's are currently sold out though, so I'll let you know when the breastplates are ready so you can decide what you'd like to do

Thank you. I couldn't ask for more.

I would urge you all to watch the upcoming Car Throttle Youtube series on their MR2 Spyder!

 

[Haloruler64]

Eyyyy it's now up. So hard to watch how they destroyed the body panels, but the bracing made an appearance!

 

[Snelbaard]

Yeahh agreed it was painful to see how they just tore everything apart. I don't doubt the car is going to turn out fun though

 

[soon_2b_evil]

these dont fit with a Kswap correct?

 

[Snelbaard]

I think it would interfere with the gearbox, but I've never seen actually try so I can't be 100% sure.

 

[soon_2b_evil]

how much is a complete set shipping to 77077 houston, tx USA

 

[Snelbaard]

That's 295 for the RMB + 95 for the TAB + 88.30 euros for shipping.

 

[henpenben]

~~you mention FMB but I cant seem to find much info about them. how much are they / what do they look like? are they for 00-03 cars?~~

just kidding, found the post approximately 1 second after commenting...

I'd like to be put on the list for a RMB, FMB, & TAB

 

[Snelbaard]

You got it!
