What is the end goal of your car? Just curious.

BrazdonW · 09-30-2009, 05:26 PM

Autocrossing fun and back road fun
But in all honesty what I want for it changes often
Overall its for fun :)

does the back of your car flex badly?
looks cool btw! :D

dvlnblkdrs · 09-30-2009, 05:48 PM

looks good.. how did u mod the metal bump to make room for the bottom bar.. im too nervous to mess with it too much since its over the fuel tank

blacksandiegovitz · 09-30-2009, 06:04 PM

+2 for installing the right way Ie using the floor bar brace too . From what i've seen lately you and I are the only ones who took the time to install the bottom bar...

Looks like he used a BFH but that is just me

kngrsll · 09-30-2009, 06:19 PM

so, does it feel any different? i think thats one of the few bars i would actually buy. stiffens similiar to a cage, with out the weight (or protection lol)

cali yaris · 09-30-2009, 07:11 PM

It definitely prevents twist flexing of the rear body, but it has an additional effect which I wasn't expecting. It prevents up-and-down compression as well, making the rear suspension do more of the work it's supposed to do.

That looks rigid.

i noticed a lot of difference. it seems that the response for quick turns and lane shifting is slower but more stable feeling. when i take sharp turns faster now the car seems to cut stronger and lose less traction
i am no pro this is just how it feels from the ride to and from work ;)

ddongbap · 10-01-2009, 03:32 AM

It looks ugly. Quickly, send it to me. I'll make it look better, in my car.

SilverBack · 10-01-2009, 05:38 AM

Tamago · 10-01-2009, 10:02 AM

BrazdonW · 10-01-2009, 10:48 AM
