Description: Cusco underbody front chassis brace. Will fit I4 and V6. Mounts to suspension arms.

More info here - http://www.cusco.co.jp/english/e_lower.html

Conditon: New!

Price: 6900yen - about AUD$75 (not inc shipping/charges etc).

Tis a dutch auction - the more that are bought, the less it'll be due to the combined shipping. About $220ish landed for one, a reasonable amount less for more.

errr.. so is it just to stiffen up the chassis??
if there is enough people interested I might be convinced to buy one..

Rupewrecht 18-01-2007 12:29 PM

Read link!

project.r.racing 18-01-2007 06:40 PM

landed price please?

Rupewrecht 18-01-2007 08:24 PM

Landed price would be about $220, as stated above. Cheaper if there's a few others who purchase one.

Rupewrecht 22-01-2007 12:55 PM

Ok, i've got one interested party. If anyone wants to buy one, it'll bring the price of yours down to under AUD$200 landed.

Rupewrecht 29-01-2007 11:57 AM

Also available for BJI (might fit BJII, who knows with mazda)

Sorry this is a stupid question, but im having trouble to figure it out where it gos ?, maybe my eyes are playing up ? but is it at the bottom of the car or in the engine bay ? like i said sounds stupid but really asking a serious question :)

Rupewrecht 31-01-2007 08:07 PM

Under the engine, between the front suspension A arms, roughly.

I am interested but need to see a picture to see if it will clear my 3" exhaust

Rupewrecht 01-02-2007 01:50 PM

No chance of an actual pic until i get one here in a few months, but i'm fairly sure it's the same design as one of the right (not that that helps you with clearance)

BigMal 01-02-2007 04:42 PM

Yeah let me know when you get one and how they bolt up. I had problems with
clearance with the crossmember been looking at making a custom one similar to this

but not as fancy to give me some extra space. I guess the rear cusco section fits in same as this rear tie down.

Any news on these beauties, I'd love a set for my car :D:D

Ronin (Adam) 06-05-2007 05:34 AM

Me too Andy, I actually got in touch with the UK supplier of Cusco but they don't have any for our cars :(

Rupewrecht 06-05-2007 01:18 PM

As i thought, it's just the straight bace, not the H brace. Damn light too - 550g. And no, i cbf getting under my car to check clearance today :p

Ronin (Adam) 07-05-2007 02:31 AM

Looks Awesome! Where did you get it from Rupe?

I know they were lying, I bet they just couldn't be arsed to sort it out.

Rupewrecht 07-05-2007 09:20 AM

From the usual place - the auctions in Japan.

I can get plenty more if you're interested.

andym323 07-05-2007 11:08 AM

Hey, hey, nice one :D:D

Looks very similar to the underbrace Brad has on his Type R, said it caught speed ramps sometimes, but who cares :D:D When it looks that good :D:D

I take it it mounts on the front control arm mounting????

How much are they chap??? ;)

Rupewrecht 07-05-2007 11:21 AM

Depends how many i order at the same time.

Get me an order for 5 or more, and they could be as cheap as around AUD$150

outbakoz 07-05-2007 12:05 PM

Okay count me in for one then rupe
