Just seen the New strut brace on the new challenge car looks more rigid than our JCW one, also bonnet scoop deflector to reduce turo heat.

CC07ERS · Sep 17th, 2007, 09:53 PM

the brace looks the same as the one i had

DerekH · Sep 18th, 2007, 10:12 AM

Cc07ers its not the same as i have the one you had it's not curved and has complete circle with stonger fixing point to strut top.

Confused

Why has this challenge car not got the JCW airbox ?.

PmP · Sep 18th, 2007, 04:04 PM

Surely the challenge car has 210bhp not the 192bhp of road car, so im guessing the engines tuned differently. If its a demo, maybe it's only for looks and hasnt got the challenge engine in it.

PMP you may be correct re mock up but everything else in the show looked very real to me, also re the difference in power that could have been done internally i suppose

Japper · Jul 16th, 2008, 09:05 AM

Can anybody supply a part no. for this strut brace?.

Cheers

Hi Guys,
The jcw strut brace for the factory works car is 51.71.0.442.352 and i can supply it for £150 inc,
This will also fit cars with the JCW 192BHP upgrade kit fitted

So is the brace in the above picture the same as the one specified for the Factory JCW (as this is a challenge race car right?). and if so is that different to the standard JCW strut brace??

The Overrun · Jul 17th, 2008, 02:15 PM

no difference

the R56 strut brace is cosmetic

Benny No.1 · Jul 17th, 2008, 03:32 PM

What about the deflector?

neilians · Jul 18th, 2008, 10:52 AM

Does anyone know what the torque settings are for the JCW strut brace mounting nuts ?
I know that on Gen1 they are torqued to 35NM.
Cheers
