yeah i had the same problem .... what you have to do is take it off and spin the mount so the screw on the bar comes out more and that will make it clear the engine

:wow: I love the strut bar. I promised myself that i wouldnt spend any more money on my car except upkeep.
But after looking at the strut bar, man, temptation.
The grill looks good. The only diff. between the Azect and Mugen is the Mugen looks like it has a fat lip on the bottom. The Azect has a smaller lip on the bottom. Now all you need is a front under spoiler.:p

hehe that engine looked exactly like mine!!! hahahah.
hey 96TL, does your strut hit the top of the hood? just wondering cause i finally got everything right. i'm surprised there weren't rubber gasgkets included with the struts. but whatevers, i had some spare rubber pieces so i just did a quick cut out to lessen the vibratons.
hope you liked your struts cause i loved mine. i never thought the struts were going to make such a big difference, but damn was i wrong. the car feels so much stiffer and the handling is soooooo much better. it's well worth the 200 bucks. it makes as big of a difference as the springs!!! hope you guys follow suit.

the only engine mods I have are spark plugs and spark plug wires.I had a custom built intake but I didnt like it so I took it out.I also basically only hook up my cars exterior and interior(no engine) I will get the sway bars soon cause I have koni yellows and eibach springs but I really want TV's, at least 5.That is my plan for this summer.

How come you guys arent into hooking up the engine? If your car has the looks it better have the balls to back it up.

besides if somebody wants to race us soo bad then we can just flip the visors toward them so they can watch what we are watching
96tl is right if yo want a fast car but a supra or an rx7... some kid i know has a supra (single turbo with a greddy t82 :wow: .) that car runs 10's :wow: but then again he uses race fuel and regular gasoline

Do people always ask you how much they cost? At least one person says something to me everytime I drive it and everyone stares at me. :p People even ask me what channels I get. lol.

Im not talking about turning it into a race car...just a car with some decent balls...Imagine 96tl, youre car is hella fast, and its also got that sweet ass video setup. (Im jealous of that setup as you can see )

There are not very many parts for my dads jaguar either. Does that mean that its not a sports car? Plus you dont need a sport car for speed!! How about a 96TL with a pimped out exterior, sweet sound system, sweet video system and a 300HP engine. When Im done with my car I will turn more heads then a Supra could!!
