Front Tower Strut Bar and Curved Neck Manifold.

Post by RogueWolf »

First things first: I'll work on getting pictures later.

I've got a Curved neck KLZE manifold where the throttle cable loops around and mounts to the intake manifold at the resonance chamber crossover.

While I'm trying to fit a Tower Strut Bar, it interferes with not just the cable, but the intake manifold.

Anyone have any genius ideas on how to get it to fit?

It depends on the bar but you could have your strut top nuts torqued to spec THEN put the strut bar on top of those nuts and take another set of nuts and torque those down holding the bar in place. No need for lock tight as some idiot on the FB page suggested. Thats how I have my mazdaspeed bar.

- Use a set of nuts as a spacer
- Offset the strut bar back (works with the CS bar ideally)
- Shave the mounts on the top of the VRIS plate

I could clear the IM with Outlaw spacers.
