Hope not a repost - haven't seen this item before. It is an inner side brace to increase the rigidity of the Euro to improve handling. Just taking the raw yen value it is about $224 AUD.
tell me the chassis cant be THAT weak for them to need bracing there!!
The chassis is not weak - it is all about incremental improvement. You can get the bracing for lots of cars, s2000 etc. Hard to say how much difference it makes until someone tries it.
edit - here is some J's racing sales pitch as to why it is useful (from here)
"J's Racing inner fender brace provides chassis reinforcement between the joint of the car's front engine section and mid cockpit section. Typically, the greatest strength of the car's chassis will be low, concentrated in the frame. As we move up the chassis, we find there is less reinforcement, especially at the fender area, where the forward section and mid section of the car are joined by a few spot welds. Consequently, under hard braking and cornering there is a great amount of flex and twist at the fender area. The J's Racing fender brace reduces this flexing and the sloppy steering response associated with it. Chassis rigidity is increased noticeably and turn in response is significantly crisper and faster."
i also think it's useless unless u track the car alot.
i have had j's racing catalog since nov. not much body parts for the euro accord.... they only have 3 part listing. Engine torque damper, side inner brace, front tower bar. they did have the rear tower bar in the 06 cat, but no longer in production.
yeah they did have it listed in the 06 cat, but when i went to order one they said its not in production anymore....
so i guess i would have to find one second hand in japan....
