Default I got a new toy...

As much as my car needs a few repairs I can't quit with the mod bug..

I tried to set it onto the mount points but it didn't fit. I REALLY HOPE it actually fits on the LS.

1993-1998 TRD Supra STB

$150 +

I don't mean just the washers though, the holes didn't line up right. I could get it on one side, but it would be about a 1/4" off on the other side. Maybe after it's jacked up and set right it'l fit. I'll go try again with the foam cover off and see if I had the TRD logo on the right side.

I remember somewhere on a thread that you're supposed to mount the left side 1st...then the right side? Can anyone confirm this?

Oh yeah, where did you get it from? and for how much?

What is that red wire doing there man?! You know how I am about neat wiring!

Anyway, take it to a shop and ask them. How is the clearance on top of the engine?

Oh ya, Daddy-O will freak out when he sees that strut bar on your paint! :eek:

If anyone has any hints (specifically for the LS application - LOULE :-)) please add..

I'm going to work with TM engineering in a few hours today and see if we can get it to fit.

Dude it is Lou (as in first name) and Le (as in last name).
I got no answers there for you man, mine poped right on.
Only thing I can think of is drilling the hole just a tad wider on both sides (to be even) and then put it back on.
Good luck dude.

Oh yeah that wiring setup
Loom it already at least!

I know it's Lou Le - just I'm used to seeing 'LOULE' from your old S/N.

hmm..was your STB a TRD one? My attempt was a 30 second 'put on' 'put off' test to see if the holes matched up..I'm hoping after I get the bolts off it will mount more flushly.
