I've a got a kd. It's better than an omp imo but is very hard to find. All the others apart from kd and omp seem pretty flimsy. ________________________________________ See the sheer power and might of the lesser known burrowing owl. |

I've also got a KD. Definitely makes a difference compared to the Etech on the road car.________________________________________ Rallye Race Car |

Yeah, I had an Etech and noticed no difference. I have the omp and it was decent but I do prefer my KD. ________________________________________ See the sheer power and might of the lesser known burrowing owl. |

I was going to at one point when I 1st made it but my rallye come off the road I lost intrest in the car because the engine is f**ked and I couldn't afford to do anything to it but I refused to sell it. I've owned it for 8 years and it's been off the road for 4 years now but it's come out soon I've been slowly working on it these last few weeks ________________________________________ http://www.306gti6.com/forum/showthread.php?id=163869 |

Fair enough. Tbh, if you did start making them you'd make enough cash to fix the rallye. I keep meaning to make these. I've made about 8 and everyone loved them but just can't be arsed. Still, just bought a welder for at home so may start knocking them out.       ________________________________________ See the sheer power and might of the lesser known burrowing owl. |

Once I've got a pipe bender at home I shall probably start knocking them out. Will be a while though, I got loads of other stuff to weld in cars 1st.  ________________________________________ See the sheer power and might of the lesser known burrowing owl. |

It looks potentially more rigid than an OMP, and I agree no need to tension - the adjuster just makes a brace less rigid and heavier. ________________________________________ Cherry Rallye SOLD |
