Strut Braces

[gino]

Does anyone know if a front or rear (upper or lower) strut brace from an eclipse, mirage or lancer will fit an FTO?

I doubt it gino, if they did then we'd probably know about it already, also, it wouldn't be worthwhile for Kempys or Camskill to have them custom made.

Thanks CJ, i was just wondering.
Do you think it will be ok to use a cone filter which has only a 3 inch port on an FTO, the air induction pipe on the FTO has a 4 inch port opening, i have the reducer, but will this restrict the air flow too much?

Personally, I wouldn't restrict the airflow where possible, impeding the flow of air into into the intake pipe may result in a performance loss in the upper rev range.

I was thinking the same CJ, but i was looking at the air filters for sale on funkyproducts, for FTO's, and alot of them have 3 inch clamp ports on them, they also sell the reducers. A friend of mine gave me the filter and reducer, cos he didnt want it any more and i wanted to give it a go.
Im wondering does anyone on the forum have this setup?. Is it ok?

Gino, what model?

I have a manual GPX, the filter is a Simota heat shield air filter.

There seems to be a postive response about the Simota on theFTOOC forum

Thanks CJ, it all seems good, i guess they have the filter with the 3 inch port also, cos they only seem to come in that size, ill give it a go and see what happens.
