this photo is a testament to how strong a prelude is and its just 1 of many launches into mid air it had

the only thing i ever broke was one of my ribs :lol: the suspension pickup points are extremely strong and that ebay link part is a bit of bling thats not even on show. my honest opinion is its not needed on a prelude.

That's a cracking photo Phil!

Thank you for the feedback :) I'm hoping the finished part will be much stronger than the ebay one.

yes alex hopefully it will be but i was refering to the 3 point under wing brace that you can't see.

photo yeah it is good but there was 1 occasion where i hit a jcb wheel and tyre that launched me about 4 foot and i thought the car would be foofed but no just the ribs. no photo of that though but it did happen honest :roll:
