The Hornet Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 Well I originally bought the Standard Grey TRD one from Envy and sold it to a member on here and bought the Chromed version I have just sold that to another member on here, which is ok but across the two brace's I've lost quite a bit of money. Not too bothered about that but I do want a strut brace. Problem is, is that I have now fitted a Carbon Fibre bonnet (Top secret) style supplied by Chris @ Hyper performance. Looks fantastic and the quality is superb - Thanks Chris. I love the Chromed TRD one, but the bonnet wouldn't shut with it on Does any one know of a Strut brace that will fit with my bonnet ?

Nic Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 You could try the Cusco carbon fibre strut brace it has a flat section alu/carbon fibre section. I got one for Terminator a few months ago, perhaps he can post some photos and measure clearance for you. If you want delivered prices for any of the Cusco range drop me pm.

Terminator Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 Post pics in a minute but the max height of my bar is 63mm above the cam covers. The bar weighs less than the strut mounts around 1.8kg in total I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mini-e Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 Hey mate, can you post a pic of the of your supra with the top secret CF bonnet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 Sorry guys that was a long minute, but here are some pics of my CF strut brace. Only camera phone I am afraid. I'll try to get some with the camera when I get back home at the end of the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 Looks good fitted T This was sourced from here, it is a Cusco alu/cf brace, seemed very stiff, relatively light and well made. I can get these or the all aluminium braces (front or rear) for good price here, drop me a pm if you want price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 The CF bar is very light. I weighed the bits before I put it on, but lost the figures. But I do remember that the bar weighed less than one strut mount. The whole lot is very light and very strong. I am not into bling so the CF finish is fine. It sits very low over the engine so may be good for AM bonnets, but I can still get to coils and plugs out without removing it. I like cornering;) my CF front bar had made this even more fun.

The Hornet Posted June 9, 2005 Author Share Posted June 9, 2005 I will take some new pictures of me Supra with the CF bonnet on, just need to find time to clean the car first been really busy and riding me Bike at the moment. Will try to clean it on Saturday and post some new piccies. Terminator, that brace does indeed look very nice and would sit nicely in my bay I too like the handling much more with a brace on which is why i want another one that fits. The one you have should be ok I think, I will check at weekend and see where the vents in the bonnet drop low and where your brace sits etc. Nic, can you PM price please unless Term wants me to buy his for £20 hehe j/k mate.
