I will be installing a front strut tower brace on my 1987 RX-7 GXL. It is from MazdaTrix. It has the firewall brace. The problem is that I may have to relocate the low pressure line from the airconditioning that runs along the back firewall.



This is a pretty stiff metal pipe. Has anyone ever had to do this and can give me an idea of what to do?



Thanks.

 

it is better to bend. one side has a rubber hose on it, so the other might just need a tweak

i have a gxl and the problem im looking out for is taking out the aas so i can install the greddy strut tower brace ima get for my 87 gxl

 

that brace doesnt go to the firewall so you wont have the

same problem. The MazdaTrix one bolts to the firewall as well.

Just reminded me I have to paint and install that in my car!

 

Both of you are off the subject you *******. You should be banned lol!

 

I just took a peek at my AC lines and it looks like it would just take a little tweak to fit on there. (like what mike said) My car is an 89 and i do not know it the AC lines are different from S4 to S5 cars.

they aren't but there are 2 different systems. most mazda cars are this way, on the fc the high option cars had nippondenso ac installed at the factory in japan. while the lower option cars have the ac (sanden) installed at the ports in the us. so there are 2 different ac systems for the fc (and fb/fd mpv etc)

Well, I did a trial fit of the brace last night before I repainted it. It took a little manipulation to get it in but it looks like I won't have to move anything afterall.

 

Let me know how that brace is. I have always liked it. Especially to stiffen the weaker vert chasis.

 

cool
