Hi all,
Bought the halford twin FIAMM horns today, as the originals are just so poor and not very effective if you are trying to let the kid in the Saxo know that you do have right of way and he is a w****r.
Anyway, I've been planning to get a front strut brace for a while now, but need some advice on where to buy / costs etc.
I would prefer to get a Cusco to retain the front storage lid, but please post any other options if you have them.
cheers,
Puggman

They sound much better and are easy to fit unless you have air con!

Try Takakaira in Japan http://www.takakaira.co.jp/asp/template.asp?cat=2&id=672&prodID=QRrNoOojlKmipLk
As I've got the TRD front strut, I've had no choice but to lose the bin lid... And that's the best thing about it. I've never had leaks, dampness or any sign of water within the bin without the lid in place! I really suggest doing a test for say a week or so without the lid in place and see what the results are. Certainly, access into the front bin is so much easier, plus you can pack (a little) more in!
As well as Takakaira, you could try japanparts.com m http://snurl.com/mr2_jpcom (http://snurl.com/mr2_jpcom) m
I have the Cusco, but (voluntarily) chose to do away with the bin lid; it's just easier without it, and as Martin said, everything still stays dry in there anyway.
Lampka Motorsport offers copies of the Cusco parts (made of steel)
Have a look. (http://www.lampka-motorsport.de)
