make sure the bolts that hold the airbox onto the throttle body r as tight as they can go, i had the same problem on my 8v after a few days it made a really bad knockin noise when u rev it as the engine moves bak and forth, neway all i did was take the strut brace off again and tighten up the screws on the air box thingy and bobs ur uncle, been ok since | |

I've got the same engine/strut brace and i also have the same problem. I didn't tighten the brace as much and this slighlty raised it because it was being pulled together therefor makeing it sit lower. If you do find anything out then could you u2u me.. | |

It's not the sound of the knocking I'm worried about. When you give the engine some revs it lifts in the engine bay causing the air box to knock the strut brace, it is even worse when the car is in gear. | |

wrap sum rubber around the part that is knocking, this well stop the sound and also stop any marks it will make. | |

Kris TD: I thought about washers under the strut brace but the bolts coming through strut aren't long enough. | |
