The car looks awesome. That is a serious sway bar mount.

Where did that swaybar come from? What are the spec's on it (diameter and wall thickness) I am looking into redoing my swaybar setup and this looks like a nice solution that would work well for me...as long as it's stiff enough.

That is the new T3 one. The car is looking really good Mike.
If no one from the future comes back to stop you from doing it then how bad of a decision can it really be?

1.125 dia
I believe they told me its 165 lb effective rate. If not stiff enuf I will make a speedway one off this pattern. The mount will be sufficient to mount whatever bar is needed

I probably have the first production one mounted. Eastbaysolo has one as well but I know his isn't installed yet. I'm putting same on fatsun and norm has one sitting at work right now I got for him so we will find out how they work..

We did the calculations when we thought about making a run of them that way. The T3 bar is half as stiff as the stock 510 sway bar. The one in our racecar is 1.5" bar and still not quit as stiff as the 1 1/8" in the stock location.

They produce some strange products, but most of it looks super flashy

My racecar has a hollow speedway that's mounted behind the valve cover and has bolt on arms. Most racecars use that type tubular bar

I'm not disagreeing with that, we have one on our racecar. Just stating that T3 didn't calculate anything. Their previous sway bar was 1 1/8" thick in the stock location. They moved it forward over doubling the arm length while using a technically weaker bar since it's hollow with the same OD (if it's the same material). Just pointing that out. It's half as stiff as a STOCK 510 sway bar.

You could be correct and I may have to replace it.. but I think you should have spent the time to make one that works with your crossmember as there isn't really a option out there to buy.
Troy has one coming but haven't seen it on a car or know if it clears well either. The front mount style is what I think it needs

We have prototyped a few. The biggest hurdle is finding a manufacturer that will make a small run for an affordable price. The problem is me and Sam both dialy our 510's so unlike T3 or anyone else, so we can't settle for a second rate design. Up front cuts lock to lock and requires a massive bar size, stock location hits the TC rod on low cars (I almost smashed my car into the wall at my track because of the Orange line bar hitting my TC rod, the 510 Gods were looking out for me that day). That along with this is just a "fun" hobby for us not a job we spend 40 hours a week on. We will have one sooner or later.

yes i see this front style limits turn in but there is no way around that- with these cars. somehow need a swaybar that works and norm just picked his up so he will likely be the first one to test it on the road -- as neither car i have here is driveable anytime soon -

intakes is on - fuellab regulator mounted , just spent yesterday crimping the brown and miller lines-- boy those are pricey! but they look awesome-- (slightly biased lol )
flex fuel sensor mounted under intake for E85 which will be able to tell ecu alcohol content to vary tune for timing and boost based off of that ..

Cunifer then bulk head fittings and ordered black Teflon line with black fittings and gold crimp rings..

Added some better resolution images but it wouldn't allow deleting old ones?
What is this bulkhead connection bracket? I’ve been looking for one of these for months.
