Wow! The Carbing bar fits perfectly and with the engine cover on? I must own this! Where and how much? How much clearance is there between the bar and the engine?

The I see two main differences between the two bars, the carbing and the one jibbby uses.

1. The carbing bar has no spherical ball mounts like the other bar in comparison.
No piviot points= less flex.

2. The peices that mount to the strut towers on Jibbby's bar appear to be mild steel, at best wrought 6061 aluminum stock but they are not boxed together, they are long, and flexable.
That carbing bar is solid as a tank.

Is this the same bar which carbing offers for the MKIV supra?

I'm really curious to hear if you find any improvements from bracing the master cylinder. Is the stopper currently too short to reach the master cylinder or is too long?

Great Stuff
