Has anyone got any pics of any Nova SPI's with a strut brace fitted

Preferrably with the original airpan/filter fitted...?

Much appreciated

Would it clear the standard air filter on the 1.2i - I think the standard air filter on a Carb engine sits a wee bit further forward...?

I used one on my track car if its any use for an idear of were it sits.

Hmm a wee bit mate, cheers

Just, there isn't that much room between the air-filter and the firewall...

the brace fits snug up against the fire wall.

I think I'm getting one the same as that one but I just wanted to see if it would fit my car with the standard air-filter

If not, it will go on the orange Nova for the track :)

Cheers mate, I'll rep you if I can :thumb:

Iirc it just wont fit vaughan cos i had to fit the corsa airbox and cone filter to my old spi in order to get the clearance to fit the brace:thumb:

Cheers Spudly :) I'll try it anyway, if it doesn't fit I'll either not buy it or I'll fire it onto the orange Nova

Cheers for the help fellas!
