Rx8 project (probably same as everyone else but different and much betterer)

I'm just looking but do they do rx8 strut braces? Are they any good do they do anything?

Might take that off, that thing holds lots of heat underneath it

The plastic cover is designed (so I'm told) to aid airflow over the engine. However, I've got a Tein strut brace and the cover won't fit over it and so I don't use it. No difference in temps on track with/without that I can discern (and I've saved a few grammes

)

Well if it aids airflow why the hell is it like opening an oven when I take it off after Iv driven it. Lol. All I can see engine covers being useful for is to cover up cool stuff like the inlet manifold and it's intricacy.

Just checked and mine has strut brace lol. Must have not noticed it with it being camouflaged black

Ah ok, was just wondering if they worked at all. Do all models of rx8 have them? Iv pulled them open and they have sprayers in there so must work
