    In memory of my Heritage (2000 SE or 2000 Icon) depending on where you live, I had the roof replaced with a Robbins light tan.

    Sadly the last 3 attachements do not work for me

    Curious on the difference the PPF brace made. I have been contemplating installing mine for quite some time now.

    I never tried the car on the track nor pushed hard. The previous owner had it fitted like so many track orientated upgrades.

    I had a Beatrush PPF on Warbird, na8, and now have the Roadstersport PPF on Misfire, nb2, and I could definitely tell it made the drivetrain more stable(shifter moved less) and reduced wheel hop which is exactly what they are supposed to do but will increase "gear whine" from the rear end.

    From Goodwin Racing's site:
    "The RoadsterSport PPF brace is designed to reduce slop in the transmission by bracing the PPF against the rear subframe. This brace also improves traction by reducing wheel hop, a must for boosted applications. These braces are made in the USA from ultra light honeycomb aluminum for maximum strength and powder coated to last a lifetime.

    Brian's Application Notes: Great mod for race cars, but for street cars, notice that you will pick up more gear whine because this item works by taking away much of the isolation effects of the bushings on the factory power plant frame."



    Great looking NB sir! Always loved the color on the 00SE and almost picked up one but it got sold before I got to it. I guess this isn't the exact same color but very similar. Looking forward to seeing your progress!

    Will second how good and classy the colour combo works!

    Chad thanks a lot about the explanation; I know how this is supposed to work, I was more wondering on the difference in NVH (or lack thereof) it makes. I have one that I am not really sure I want to install.

    Very nice, very elegant. This Garnet Red is rare here and even though I'm not fond of red cars, this color really accentuates the NB styling very well. Thanks for the updates!
