Cleaned it up

Did the MSA strut tower brace or hood have to be modded to work?

No, just had to route it through the vacum hoses had no problem at all.

Art,

That looks like the latest style MSA brace. How long have you had it? I am wondering if they have fixed the all the fitment problems on the 280Z. Does it make a difference in the cars handling?

I've had it about 3 months. It's real nice with the threaded tension adjusting feature. I already had the tokico springs and Illuminas and I added the FSTB before adding the RSTB(backorder). So the change I felt in the car had to be attributed to the FSTB. It really helped turn in alot. The car felt stiffer in the front, cut down on some rattles made the feel more solid in the front. I had good steering response before because I have the poly bushings, but this made it tighter and more controllable. I'm an avid autocrosser on the national level with quite a bit of experience so I have a feel for this. It was definately worth doing.
