What are the available 4 point strut tower bars?
Preferably LHD, so the mazdaspeed doesnt count.
The only one I could think of it the autoexe.
Is there any 4 point strut tower bars that come with a MC brace?
Would any 4 point strut tower bars accomodate RP's MC brace?

Many thanks

JIC makes one. I think of it more of a piece of bling than something race oriented, cuz it doesn't attach to the firewall too well. Mine just goes over the bolts that were used for the engine cover, and that isn't even all the way.

Cool thanks. I read some reviews on here on the autoexe one and supposedly there is a difference, but also looking for something that would accomodate a master cylinder brace.

+1 on this...does anyone have a definitive solution for American-hand-drive? Or have we concluded that removing the engine cover is bad for underhood temps?

There's three of them, each has a different price. Do you know whats the difference?

Or is this something else.

LOL ye im not to good an Japanese (or English:))and I was at work so all the content didnt show up on my screen.

I dont like the attachment points on the firewall. Its the same as for the engine cover. That point is real flimsy.

Besides the autoexe, I think all of them connect like that unfortunately. I'm no expert though.

I don't think there's anyone repping their products in the US market :dunno:

What the Hell is the 4 point attached to? That firewall is pretty cheap sheet metal.

i dont think the point is to be more rigid really... with the firewalls strength, any force that would cause the car to be "twisting" would not be held up by those two mounts... it would be nice to make a graphic cover with the rotary symbol to attach in the middle though :P

... and hide the pretty engine?

A little modification and the stock engine cover fits over the brace. Dremel is a gift from the mod gods. :lol:
