Does anyone here in houston have a strut tower brace because I really think a machinist at work could fabricate one. If I could get dimensions or pictures of one that identifies all of the parts. I can then draw it on cad 2000 and have it built. CEG in houston need to get it together there seems to be no interest in meetings of any kind here.

Hey G-Man:

I am not a mechanic, but have a strut that was damaged in an accident. I am not sure if that is what you want. Let me know.

My son has a Focus and they meet at Miami Subs on Friday nights after 9. He says he hasn't seen Contours there, but I would be willing.

Well my mom is a little lost but here is my take...

We meet on Saturday nights at Miami Subs at around 10pm.

I do have a strut tower brace but I also have a Ford Focus....not a Contour!!!!!

I have been trying to teach my mom some car stuff while I learn about mine so if she is off in right field somewhere please don't kill her.

BTW, mom.......please don't send me to my room!!!!

I have a strut tower brace (the old SHO Shop version) on my contour. I'll try to stop by Miami subs Saturday night if someone provides me the address.

Same here I need the address or directions would be nice. I'd like to go for a while this week I feel we really need to get things going for our houston group.

The brace you have isn't the one I heard about that broke someone's strut is it? Just a question if it is maybe we can tweak it to work.

Well I don't know the physical address but its between Wilcrest and Bltwy 8 in the Old Navy/Target parking lot!!!!!

On a clear night (hopefully tomorrow will be clear) there are close to a CRAPLOAD of cars there..........just follow the guys with the modded imports you see race past you.

BTW, you might get sucked in a race so be careful!!!!!!

I will be there about 10pm!!!

There is usually a green SVT there that has some kick ass mods and you can hear him coming down the road!!!!

It's on Westheimer, just outside the Beltway. If you have the time to cruise around then do this: Go 59 south and exit Chimney Rock (first exit past 610). Make a right and go two lights to Westheimer and make a left. One block down, you'll see a James Coney Island on the left with dozens of bikes there. If you're into them, pull in, park, and check 'em out. As the night progresses, they really add up. 100 bikes is not unusal (i'm there sometimes with mine). Otherwise, continue down Westheimer, and watch for the imports, Mustangs, Camaros, Supras, etc. cruising around. After you past the beltway, a few blocks down, on the left hand side, you'll see Miami Subs next to Target. If you can, park as close to Miami Subs as you can. The cops have orders sometimes to make the cars parked at Target move. Enjoy.
