AliveBoy Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 They look great, especially with the drifting and the potential to knock stuff I'd have loved one.... except they attach where my bonnet pins go so I can't :cry: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceejay29 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Wow really nice, very tempting. The relationship with the OEM airbox is seamless, nice bit of kit mark and I love the polished centre piece. Are there any implications having a plenum spacer? The reason I ask is because I for one have the H-Dev kit which raises the strut brace using spacers. Additionally do you know if it would install ok with the K&N Typoon kit? It looks like my heat shield could be in the way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Payco Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I like this a lot and am intersted but I guess it wont fit if you have a RARE JDM engine cover and an ARC catch can as I do. Can you confirm this. Payco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A9H-RX Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 These look like they interlink with OEM strut brace. I've got APS one as I've got APS Tallboy intlet manifold. This gonna be an issue with fitment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mopedmark Posted April 7, 2014 Author Share Posted April 7, 2014 Ceejay29 you will need to send me good pictures I may be able to adjust/ get around it thanks for liking it, at the moment they fit with original strut with OEM air box or pop charger The opposite side stays the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mopedmark Posted April 7, 2014 Author Share Posted April 7, 2014 Hi Payco not sure if it will fit over the top the Rare JDM engine cover may help can you show me a pic or two mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mopedmark Posted April 7, 2014 Author Share Posted April 7, 2014 A9H-RX hi mate need good quality pics but I don't think it will fit that brace of yours but sen some pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
14N Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 It definitely won't fit if you've got an ARC catch can I'm afraid, as the centre section basically runs where the catch can sits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacky Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I really like this. When I eventually start adding stuff in my 'bay, this will definitely be on my list. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cs2000 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 (edited) I may be able to assist with 2 questions ive just seen. Aftermarket air filters/pop charger style systems should be no problem. The majority I have seen sit lower than the OEM airbox in the engine bay so should clear the brace fine. The only issue may be if you have a heat-shield to the side as this looks like it could touch the bar, but these could always be trimmed down to allow the bar clearance as theyre usually very thin metal. Rare JDM Engine Cover. From the looks of the pictures, this looks fine too. I don't know the technical terms, but look at the image above, and note how far the OEM engine cover comes, it covers the entire plenum, and then a few inched more, where all the belts etc. sit. Now here's a photo with just the Rare JDM engine cover in, notice that you can now actually see the area before that you couldn't? Maybe Mopedmark could offer his view based on the pictures, but id say it would clear both items fine. However, as 14N said, a ARC catch can mounted as shown in the image would definitely be in the way.

Mopedmark Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 Thanks cs2000 for the input and you are correct with your comments but as for payco yes the arc is in the way but I may be able to adjust ( basically make a more modified one for him) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mopedmark Posted April 13, 2014 Author Share Posted April 13, 2014 Some pop charger covers may need a little tweek but hey this is all about Custom, I changed the colour of my support braces the other day instead of just purple I added the Flashes This is how she looks now 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
