Well as always when buying a new part and fitting it to this car, theres always bloody something that puts a downer on everything! Strut brace is hitting the air box which I kind of expected to happen, however would of been nice for the description when buying the brace to give more information rather than 'FITS ALL MODELS' because it clearly does but clearly isn't designed specifically for this engine!
Anyway, after contemplating dropping the box down if its possible or running a couple of spacers on the top mounts to get it cleared, I've decided to just purchase the K&N upgraded air filter, if I knew these cars were money pits, I wouldn't of bloody bought it haha! Never mind though ay, just gives me more reason to play with the car!
