just got a plenum spacer n i didnt think it would be too big for the stock strut bar but it was. sounds like a stupid question but is it safe to drive w out it til i get the cusco?

 

i guess... try it, if u crash.. dont forget to post ur car pic on the official wrecked Z post...

 

take it easy, youll be fine. by the way, what part of el paso you from? im east side...

 

what size spacer did you get? 1/2?

 

Should be fine.

 

u will be fine...unless your goin to a racetrack netime soon...hehe

 

Sure but the wheels will fall off.

 

OMG! You shouldn't even have it on its wheels right now! Put it up on jacks! The strut towers aren't supported, and the towers are going to bend in! Take the weight off the suspension!

 

you can, but is the plenum spacer gonna give you that much power to sacrific something like steering?

 

I got an SES light driving with mine off

 

ITs fine, I did it for over 6 months. You cant tell the difference on the street really, unless you are really pushing it

 

Ohh mother of God, there are Japaneese engineers who would be crying if they had any idea of what you are proposing to do.

 

should be fine. the car MIGHT spontaneously combust though, rendering you charred. just dont go hard through any turns....might experience some understeer or other weird handling characteristics.

 

I saw this and was gonna post the same thinG!You beat me to it

 

If you got the 1/2" plenum, then just buy an aftermarket strut that clears the engine. There are plenty out there if you search

If you have the 5/16" plenum though, it should fit just fine under the stock strut.

 

I have been without mine for a few weeks. Just waiting to find a good deal on the stillen strut. Really though, i can take turns just as fine as i could with the strut. Unless you are racing on the track, you will be fine without it.

 

your exhaust wont be as loud and the stereo might not work but it will steer ok.

 

thanks guys for the help. but i figured i'd rather be safe than sorry so i took it off til i get my aftermarket bar since theres a track openinmg up this weekend and i'm planning on running the z

 

remember when you put the strut bar back on, you'll have to do the suspension reset procedure.

 

I'm sorry but this is a stupid *** question... of course you can't JK (in case you didn't already get how dumb this question is from all the othe responses).

of course you can, out of curiousity.. what made you think you couldn't?
