Does anyone know if there is one out there that fits with the KL-ZE and ZE manifold in?

The Corksport one fits the ZE w/ ZE Manifold...

Or at least it fits Patrck's car from the MX-3 Owners Club of Altanta who has the same set-up.

you sure about that?
I've never seen a ze with ze mani with a strut bar..I think the only one i saw was the corksport one but had the mounts modified..I think it was luc st-pierre's car...

a pic would be interesting of Patrick strut bar

The only pic I have is from May of 2003.. the first day or so after he got finished with the swap.

I need to take some new pics!

yea, I've yet to see a strut bar with my own eyes on a ZE... however I have seen a few pics.

Abut that one though, it has a Straight-Neck IM... would that make a difference? Is the Millenia IM taller?

ok well yes it fit over the straight neck manifold but 98% of us here has a curve neck and won't fit over..that's a fact..the millenia manifold is higher than the straight

yes, its MUCH taller

Here you go. Cusco bar from Japan fits. You have to shave the plate that covers first VRIS buttrefly and cut a quarter inch off a brake fluid reservoir's thread so the cap sits lower. It's nice and sturdy. Made quite a bit of difference, but not as much as SRD lower front bar at least by my butt feel test. With all these bars sometimes I think my ride is too stiff...

where would one get this strut tower bar ?

And the hood has been closing on top of that for a few years now.

The bar I got from Corksport a few years back. Talk to Derrick though if you are going to contact them. He will know about the bar.

Sorry for the dirty engine bay too...

i'll post pics of mine, its a Corksport bar slightly and easilly modified

thx everyone for the replies... i'll look into it more ^^

I cut my corksport bar in half, angled it back behind the manifold and unscrewed each side a little until the front of the bars touched each other.I put a welding blanket underneath, tacked it in position and had it fully tig welded together. After some grinding and polishing you'd never it was made different. Since I had the bar off for so long after I had the klze installed, I forgot about how much it helps. I was nice to have it back.

Definitely, i missed my front bar when we did the ze swap, couldn't figure out how to get it on, went without it for a few months, but its great to have it back
