Engine shot/ upper strut mount M?F

Well, after an hour of installation...i finally got the strut bar to work. You have to cut/grind away this pos bracket off the passenger side for this to work Heres some updated engine shots. Ill post a diy later

well...uhhh....its hard to say. I didnt realy take it out on windy roads yet..im not realy one for racing around corners ( its very dangerous ) but when you turn hard on way or the other, you can deffently feel your suspension do the work, ..not the body if that makes sense. I guess your handling is as good as your suspension with this thing, because basicaly, this makes your suspension work the way it supposed to by eliminating any flex ( which it certainly does over the stock PoS which i now need to sell )

What kind of bar is that and where did you get it? That's a badass engine bay, btw, except for the spark plug wires. I'm sure they're really good wires, but the colors remind of Ronald McDonald

I'm liking this car a lot so far. Makes me want to get some new seats and lighten up the ride a bit myself.

haha thats not the first time ive heard that. therey "ok" wires but i cant justify spending 100 bones on nologys. I honestly doubt they "add" hp. Someone have any wire recommendations ? LMK

your engine bay looks clean as hell (literally) but whats up with all the colors? seems like you have no color scheme at all in there...reds and yellows, and golds, and blues and silvers etc...dont get me wrong, im jealous, im just saying...you should pick a scheme and run with it

You never said what brand the strut bar was. Also, have you gotten the seats? When are you putting the intake mani on? Is the stripping done? Lol, so much to keep up with.
