Ahh you're lucky no cruise control, or else you'd have the WORST time putting on that strut bar... I had to return mine, because I would of ended up remoding the entire brackets... thats why I'm making a custom one... hehe...

 

wow i actually liek the basic look of that one. where di dyou get that from i wouldnt mine getting one.

 

That strut bar (on the P5 above) will fit any 3rd gen right?

Just Me,

Where did you get it? Online?

 

It looks nice and all, but I just have one question for ya...WHAT THE HELL EXPLODED UNDER YOUR HOOD? It looks like you left the Pot Roast on the engine block just a TAD TOO LONG! HAHAHAHAHAHA...The bar looks good though, seeing as how it is the cleanest thing under there.
You must live in some deep woods or something eh? Sorry I am not familar with Estonia?

 

As i told it is custom made

And the roads here ... hmm ...

Winter

Summer

Our autumn is very raini and spring is also wet because all the snow is melting ...

And my hobbie is racing in every mans rally ( people with their normal cars are racing against each other on gravel, mud , tarmac, snow ... just like real rally only weaker cars ) with my car.

And thats why my cars under hood looks like ... dont know the word :P ... but say you this that i just washed it

 

That looks good and sturdy. What is it made out of?

 

It is made from 3mm metal sheet .... inside is empty.

 

How heavy is it?

 

I am not sure but it should be lighter than aftermarket part.

 

any chance you're thinking about making more/ selling them?


been looking for the racing beat springs and a strut bar - i think corksport is sold out and that's the closest place to me (canada)!?!

 

I think there is no use for making them because sending them to US or Canada is very expensive .... considering the price of the bar itself .. I think it would be double.

Cause I live in Estonia which is at the other side of the globe.

 

didn't see where you lived! sorry! it looks nice though! i'm jealous!

hmm, TheMAN, you mean the MP3 bar? is it the same as the P5 bar? i checked out your FAQ (thanks for writing it up!) and it's listed separately (MP3 bar and P5 bar) ... i have AC too! will that be a problem?

so any official mazda dealer would have it right?! any guess @ the price of it?

thanks!

 

sorry ! shoulda kept reading!

 

Have you had a Corksport bar fail, or know someone else who has? I'm wondering because I've had one on my '00 ES for some time now. I haven't had any problems with it, and it definitely tightened up the front end and improved steering response in my car. As a matter of fact, I think it bent my right front rim last winter when I ran over a pot hole covered by snow. Be careful passing judgement on products you don't have any direct knowledge of, you may be giving other people incorrect advise.
