Here is how mine is looking right now, this is when I still didn't have splash shields. I have an OBX intake I'm about to put on, when I do the headgasket. But it isn't going on till later

It will fit, just look at this.
Alot depends on where the bar comes across; some bars go across the middle of the struts, some go across closer to the firewall, and some closer to the front of the car. I was sceptical about the bars that go across closer to the firewall but this picture pretty much shows it will fit.

Thanks for that picture! I was starting to worry, Because I didn't want to have to buy a different strut bar.

I just noticed that mine needs to be flipped the other way! lol

So I was looking at this engine bay again, and it looks like there is no cam sensor or is it just covered up by that bracket?..
Wait there is no computer either?.. It must be running mega squirt or something.

Nemizis, there is a discussion about this car on the last post of page 7, and the beginning of page 8.
But, yes it is hard to tell if there is a cam sensor or not. And I would assume he is running MS.

I would say the 420a a few threads ago has me beat but my setup is no doubtably pretty clean... I wish I could find a 420a polished tubular header though If anybody knows where i could purchase one, please private message me. I don't get on here very often at all. Thanks

Yea the wire harness is caught on something; I need to find where the bind is and bring it around so nothing gets fried. Not to worry now since I'm still trying to get my car to just start. I have a thread all about it

The wire nuts by the ECU are the SAFC wires I don't need to use.

You guys should see someone locally here. When I had my 98 NT/T, he was just starting out also... but now days... his car is off the chain. Cleanest 420A Turbo setup I've seen.

Here's the most recent shot after doing the head gasket/timing belt. It's alright, minus the strut mount rust! I'm relearning how to weld then that will get fixed...also will be investing in a powder coat system to gussy a few things up (calipers included )

I'm jealous of you turbo guys
