hi guys :D I put my tower brace on my TL the other day and i found out that when i drove my car for 30 min or more the brace was very HOT!!! and it touches this thing that i don't know what it is. Its a triangle shaped thing, can someone tell me what it is and if its OK?:confused:

The triangle shaped thing would be the intake resonator. The strut tower brace would never get hot enough to melt a hole in plastic, so it shouldn't cause any problems.

The whole engine bay interior heats up (when driving). Once the radiator get warm, fans push hot air further in and makes it a smelly Sauna. And the intake plenum heats up too....

mine used to touch that. just undo the screw a little bit and turn the resonator so it doesn't touch and tighten screw back up:)

mine doesnt get got at all, neither does the strut bars and engine damper in the silvia. i can touch them in both cars and its just warm to the touch.
