Yeah, a TC and a tc2 driver, and nope. Never heard. Does that really surprise you? My tc1 is fully built and this is the first I've heard of you. Am I alone?

Agreed, who the heck is tb performance?
Looking at a few pictures, these products look like the simplest designs ever that are just welded together and done.

You wouldn't catch me "leaving" my car with a bunch of strangers who claim they have the best product on the market and I never even heard of the company... C'mon.

Nah not really Deez, if everyone knew about us I'm thinking we'd have had an FRS in a while ago =)

We are new and still growing, can't argue with that. We are licensed bonded an insured if that means anything to you guys ;) My partner also tends to be a bit over zealous on descriptions... but most descriptions are from my experiance. Also, the owner is more than welcome to stay and watch our process =D

I’m a structures engineer (on F-15s at the moment) and I’m going over to TB Performance to give them a hand with their designs. My forte is automotive chassis/suspension design and I love to make cars handle. I’ve also got a very good feel for cars and structures. I’ve got a tC2 (my son’s) that I want a mid chassis brace for and none of the ones on the market meet my requirements…that is, none of them are good enough for me. I propositioned TB Performance and challenged them that I can make a stiffer, stronger and lighter mid chassis brace than they have and this is coming to head on December 22nd. Come witness this and get a chassis brace for your car… If you don’t like what you see, you can always back out.

I looks like these guys do a good job fabricating, just lack some engineering guidance. I'll provide this for them when I go visit them.

I’d like to design one for the FR-S, just because I might get one. I’ll be coming to the States for Christmas and New Year’s from half way around the world…I’m working/living overseas right now…so the window of opportunity is quite small. I hope to see one there...

Take a look at my signature's link to see some of the mods I've done to the tC2.

From a guy that doesn't even own an FR-S... What was point of even posting anything at all? You didn't contribute anything...positive or negative.

Some of you troll too much. If your not interested don't post negative things.

Maybe you should read the thread again. I asked who TB performance was, then they replied and sounded shocked that I hadn't heard of them as a TC owner. Doesn't matter Atleast I'm not the only one who hasn't heard of them. Don't be mad ;)
