I just purchased one of the front frame braces that goes underneath the radiator support. Unfortunately, it won't fit because I have a front mount intercooler. The intercooler pipes interfere. As common as it is to have a FMIC on a TR, it seems they would tell you that it won't fit cars with FMICs. Just a comment in case you might be thinking of buying one. Someone please tell me if there's a way to make it fit. Thanks.
 
same thing with mine so i sold the cross bar and used the bars from the engine crossmember to the rad crossmember.
 
I'm right there with both of you. How big is your piping, 2 1/2" - 3"? Better yet, how low does the pipe sit below the rad support? I MIGHT be able to make a couple.
 
MIne Fit fine,

My fit fine, just have to drop it down a small bit. Dave

How about a better picture showing how you dropped it down. Inquiring Minds Want to Know!

Nice picture. :) I was able to get my FMIC piping to fit as well with the front brace. I bought a foot of silicone hose and cut 4"-4.5" sections and dropped the piping an inch and all is well.
