Nice work, arkangel!  I would appreciate if you could provide some more details because I would like to try making some for my 98 Tracker.  What did you use to bend the tubes?  I just got an oxy/acetylene welding kit and I'm going to try to teach myself how to weld.  Do you think I can make those bends with a torch?

Sorry to hear that some jackass decided to part with your Hellas.

Not pretty bends...   not with keeping them accurate.. if you can.. I would be highly impressed..

Get an el-cheap pipe bender from Harbor Freight..   takes a while but makes pretty OK bends..

I know that 31" BFGs MTs would fit but I think I'm going to loose more power... So maybe sticking on 235s or going up to 30s would be a smart choice. Man my 1.6 8V is slow now, so I don't want to be "slower"  ;D

I like bumpers made of tubing 'cause they're NOT heavy. That design looks lighter than mine  :o

The bender used is similar to that one used to bend exhaust pipes. But uses more PSIs because the wall of these tubes is a lil bit thicker. 

I'll take a few more shot and post 'em for you all,  ;D
