What do you mean by "judge ito went to town and strengthened the ppf" ? Did you guys actually fixed and heat treated or what?

cracks were welded and some thick steel plates were welded in to re-enforce the PPF

Cracks were welded, Some flat steel was heated and molded into the ppf. More welding between the original metal plates. More heated and molded metal plates. more welding Did I say welding?? After all was done Vosko put a monstrous super killer gangster burnout. Jesus that burnout made my rough day seem like it was all worth it.. Vosko gets some super props for that burnout. Just needs to practice the grandma shifting...

Get a MazdaSpeed and do the Judge Ito Reinforcements to it. THEN put it on your car. That is what I will be doing except I will be getting the Dragon Reinforcement...
