[SRimon]

looking at the pics...would a nova SR strut brace fit on?

[Dar]

I don't have an SFI box on mine but you may be able to judge if it would fit by seeing where it is relative to the can cover.

i liked the boxed up tb's,but wouldnt it restrick the air flow to them?

[Dar]

Nope the dimensions where properly worked out and it been tested.
Its just a workaround for more noise sensitive places and not the main filter.

just thought i would add thats the same strutbrace as ive just brought :D
have you noticed any diffrence in handling mate?

[boredbloke]

saying that what happened to benji? has he got a different alias now?

[Dar]

novamadcars - Yup there was a very noticable difference in the way the car handled. I also already had a cage and rear strut brace in the car as well. The front end felt more solid and positive. To be honest I was quite supprised because I didn't expect to notice that much of a difference.

Heres an OMP strut brace on my own car, but I have the added advance of running T45's leaving a bit more room

I would think if you replace the SFI box with a powercap you shouldn't have any problems fitting this brace
