Mazdaspeed Strut bar
I have a K8 now but when i get to the states i am swapping either a ZE or a DE as soon as my car gets off the boat...my question is if i do the engine swap can i still use the mazdaspeed strut bar or will i have to get a different one....

Re: Mazdaspeed Strut bar
I think it depends on the manifold, but Most I have seen put them up on top of nuts.

Yeah guys i seen he puts it on bolts...hopefully i t will fit mine with the outlaw spacers i have but im sure it will
![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
and i get it shipped for free since i am in the military and where ever i go the car get to come along for the ride except war zones like Iraq, Afghanistan, and Kuwait.... but i go a quote fro a carrier because i wawws going to get my a rx-7 while i was over here or ship my mx-6 and its roughly $1900 but for some lame reason it depends on the size of the car...even though most would take up the same amount of work to get over to the U. S. of A.

I would of had ALOT more euro goodies in my ride if i can find a junkyard over here because germans like to use most of there land for farming they dont have acres upon acres like america, so its hard to find one thats not all the way on the other side of the country...THEN to add insult to injury i dont know if germany bought really ANY of the 90's mazda's. I have seen only 3 RX-7's on the road and they where from japan and owned by a few freinds of mine...5 mx-3's ...6 mx-6's...and a bunch of miatas (i been here 5 years and yes i kept count) but i do see alot of 626's and 323 astina's around......

Re: Mazdaspeed Strut bar
Easy fix, mine cleared the Curved-neck ZE IM with Outlaw Spacers, just needed 3 things:
- Mount the strut bar on top of the existing nuts
- Spacer and longer bolts to shift the bar back
- Shave the mounts off the top of that center VRIS plate.

(Pics are before the Outlaw Spacers, I needed to grind down the VRIS plate for with the spacers)

Re: Mazdaspeed Strut bar
too much work Nd4SpdSe....
Remember the MS bar clears the Millenia IM just fine with a couple bolts for spacers (first link in the thread is to mine). This is due to the design that the bar goes off the front of the mounts vs. the Corksport that goes right over the middle.
Here's a link to what Marcdh did with his MS when using the thermospacers. If you have AWR mounts you shouldn't have much issues with rubbing if you add another bolt or washers for spacers: http://www.mx-3.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.ph ... 33#p496633
If I ever install my thermospacers on the DD, that's what I'll do too![Cool 8)](./images/smilies/icon_cool.gif)

Re: Mazdaspeed Strut bar
If you can remove shipping cost from the Spindle buy, I may be interested...
I would have bought some already, but shipping puts it way beyond my budget unfortunately.
I've put a lot of money out lately... I'm about to put another $1500 into my '92. Bigtime goodies coming this winter...![Welder :welder:](./images/smilies/welder.gif)
