Over the last few weeks I have been talking with Geoff from Full-Race about their front traction bars for the Toyota MR2 and my new bars just arrived today.
You can see a photo of mine below, or many of Full Race's photos here:

The write up on their Site on how this part works is much better than what I could ever explain.
Considering a lot of Hyde's front-end components had 200,000 miles on them, they were do for a check up. Add to that the kind of power we put down last year (over 400 rwhp) and what we are anticipating this year (well over 500 rwhp), along with the kinds of racing we are doing (hillclimbs and road races in '06!), we were looking for something that was up to the task of keeping this car planted and controllable.
My only concern with adding this part was it's weight, but I was very pleased that the shipping box only indicated 18 lbs and I suspect it a bit less than that. When I did Hyde's "big diet" 2 years ago I lost almost 150 lbs in front of the driver so I am happy to put a little back, especially with how low this weight will be on the car.
A big thanks to Geoff and the great people at Full Race for developing this innovative product.
I anxiously await using this part to it's fullest
... counting down to the first race of '06 ...
