I'm guessing it's the RHD version of the mazdaspeed strut bar since the brake brace is on the wrong side.

best thing about having the MS strut bar is having the MC brace. kinda screwed that up.

how long did the install take?

There is a screen in the black connector in front of the MAF tube


Here is Ray attempting to get out of the tree. I told him I wouldn't show this one,, but due to the overwhelming response to the first pic of the monkey in the tree. I have to do it.
