Finally strut bars for the klze millenia manifold!!!!!!

Sean Mandell · Post by **Sean Mandell** » September 18th, 2004, 9:28 am

A close friend of mine has figured something out that will finaly work for us with the millenia manifold. Test fitment w/pictures is going to happen very soon and we will eventually have a group buy after we get all the kinks out.

who here would be interested?

The price will be near the $100 mark but it will be
a quality made bar not a ractive clone.

You can make it fit yourself, you get a bolt long enough, put it thru the existing strut bar, with a nut on either end, tighten it, and then you do the same thing to the strut bar on the end of the extended bolt, put a nut on each end, tighten it, and it works, there was pictures on car domain, ill try to find em..

does the bar travel on top of the manifold? or it goes behind ?...does it going to work with pheno spacers because as of right now my IM touches my hood with the spacers

The bar will go behind the IM. That is the only place we can put it.

My car will be the guinea pig and I have thermal spacers too.

It's mine thats like that...i want royalties from your sales since your gonna use my design

Also, look at the bolts of where it's attached to the strut tower, we used one of them as a spacer on the one side only to helt with height.

I eventually wanna get thermal spacers, but i have no idea now much more height that will add

Got thermal spacers here too. I'm in as long as the quality's good. Nothing cheap looking.

Looks like all you did was use a longer bolt and put the coss bar outside the mounting plate. $100 bux is sorta expensive when it looks to be a mod that most people can try themselves. Problem with that is.. all your stress will go on the bolt not the mounting plate.

That was not a picture of the bar that Nvrsrndr is making that was a pic of a bar that some one modded much like Chasing_size was suggesting.
Does anyone pay attention to who posts what.

Nd4sdse- thats a nice hand does it help performance aswell
