TRD Front Strut Tower Brace
Installation Photos
Brace Translated Instructions
When I received my TRD front strut tower brace,
I was ecstatic. The form and finish was spectacular. But once I checked out the
instruction manual, I knew I was in for quite an adventure, since it was
completely in Japanese !
Luckily I work with someone who is fluent in Japanese. Thanks goes to Hirota-san
for translating this installation manual. It’s not a complete translation, but
all the pertinent stuff is here.
NOTE: Any comments I have added are embedded [in brackets]
below. Please use this as a helpful guideline – there is no guarantee to the
accuracy of this translation, and you must take the full responsibility for your
own installation.

Mounting Instructions

[Special note: My 1997 Supra had an ignitor module mounted
directly on the driver’s side strut tower – this would NOT re-install in it’s
original location once the brace was installed. I solved this by relocating the
ignitor module towards the master brake cylinder side, and attached it to one of
the suspension studs with the existing nut]

Custom built front grill
Custom Built
Front Grill
For the grill I made for my car, I used Ceramic Tile underlayment mesh. This silver mesh is a treated aluminized steel that will not rust. You can buy it at Home Depot and such. Tile layers staple it to the floor and then lay tile adhesive on top of it to give it a surface to bite into.
Wear gloves when cutting the mesh with tin snips…its VERY sharp.
Happy grilling! |
