strut tower bar?

[fitch9014]

i got nismo motor mounts and my engine is waaaaayyyyyyy up in the bay. i had a tanabe bar (still for sale) for the ka/sr? it fit the ka, anyway. so the question is...which company makes a bar that fits? i'm going to try some spacers to lift the hood up at the hinges, too...has anyone tried this? any help's appreciated. thanks.

C-Red (www.c-red.com.au) made one, thats what i got, specialy made for the CA , and it's a perfect fit..

Heres mine fitted in the engine bay.

so, do you have the nismo mounts too?...mine are for the sr/ka, i think, and even though they are set low it's still to high, yesterday i spaced the hood up about, i think 3/4" and it looks cool...i also checked that site and didn't see any bars, do they deliver to the states

think i do, but also remember, i didn't do any engine transplants.. this is how the car left japan, so it was made for it.

The SR/KA Nismo mounts set the motor too high. You need the CA Nismo mounts.

actually, i could close the hood before, but to fix the intake manifold bumping the hood, i just spaced the back of the hood and it looks kinda trick, no more intake manifold on the hood, simple...

I know a CA owner that just bent the hell out of their regular S13 STB and it clears....

I bought Nismo MM/T mounts, sold my Cusco KA/SR STB, and bought a 180sx ca18det STB for the CA. Gotta do whatcha gotta do.

I sold my NISMO KA/SR mounts, bought the correct NISMO CA mounts, and bent my $20 STB for my old KA for $0 and 10min with a hydraulic press.

will bending the stb decrease the ridgitiy(sp? right word?) of the bar? Or most of you dont really feel a difference?

[float_6969]

Not unless you heated it up to bend it. I didn't do that. Also, a STB doesn't work on compression, it works on tension.
