YASHIO FACTORY: "THE EXTREME" Core Support Guard (for 240SX)
Okachan's latest creative suspension reinforcement. He's been concerned with the strong pressue of tension rod to the core support, which ultimately gives damages on the spot welding of core support in the long run. Once this welding spot were damaged, its recuperation needs a tremendous job, desmounting bumper, radiator, intercooler, etc. That's the nightmare, as Dai did it at Nikko Circuit by jumping and slamming down his 180SX. "THE EXTREME" Core Support Guard protects this weakpoint of stock machine, and the nice thing is that it increases the direct feeling in steering. Even Taniguchi of HKS appreciates its driving feeling!!
