JustGav Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Okay... This came off my old NA, it has been bent in order to clear the intake plenum. Not sure on the make, it isn't TRD, usual black rings with some other bits... Price is simple.... I'm not posting it (Can't be arsed basically), it is sat in my cupboard doing nothing, so would consider a swop for something interesting (and yes most offers considered, just not wives/gf's/sisters). Currently in Basingtoke. PS : This is a sample picture and isn't with the bend. PPS : Balls, put it in the wrong section, can a mod move please... my bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustGav Posted January 10, 2007 Author Share Posted January 10, 2007 It might held if you posted it in the right forum. Moved with a free bump. Yes, I know, it was a newbie mistake to make as well... This would still fit to a TT if anyone wants a brace to see if it makes a difference... I would take beer tokens, but I don't drink alcohol so I would settle for a nice slab of chocolate...

jamesmark Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 It looks like the one I have and mines is the ones you see on ebay all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted January 10, 2007 Author Share Posted January 10, 2007 It looks like the one I have and mines is the ones you see on ebay all the time. Yup, it probably is, hence the reason I can't be bothered to sell it, and I'd rather it went to someone who can use it than in the bin.. It has just been bent to suit an NA, for those not brave enough or don't have access to an acetylene torch to bend them. EDIT : Would also drive it to cardiff...(Because I work near the university some days a week) / Or if someone wanted to meet me on the M4 on the way to cardiff..

JustGav Posted January 10, 2007 Author Share Posted January 10, 2007 The mod for the NA, is simply heating it up and bending it.. I'm sure you get one off ebay which there are plenty, getting it bent isn't a big issue. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MK3-or-MK4-TOYOTA-SUPRA-STRUT-BRACE-BAR_W0QQitemZ220069661222QQihZ012QQcategoryZ40192QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was thinking of modifying it for the back and buying another NA specific for the front. Shane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted January 11, 2007 Author Share Posted January 11, 2007 I'm sure if you ask Dave Haggas, he will let you know where the bend was dimensions wise.. It was pretty much in the middle and just bent upwards. It cleared my NA intake nicely actually without any issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Out of interest would a bend not give the strut bar some play in it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted January 11, 2007 Author Share Posted January 11, 2007 Out of interest would a bend not give the strut bar some play in it? Yes, a bend would reduced overall structural integrity, however by how much I'm not overally sure.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
