its way thicker than the stock front bar and has no odd angles for twist, im a tell u like i tell all the women, its thick enough to get the job done

 

But yours unlike the front bar is just attached to 2 points. The front bar is attached to 4 points. Its much stiffer and gets the job done much better!

 

their isn't exactly a decent firewall in the trunk space to attach anything to.

 

triangleate it down towards the bottom of the strut tower like this:


that should stiffen it quite a bit, and you can still keep the pass through feature too

 

And if you look in the pic that is what the factory already has. A bar that connects both sides together and bracing that attaches to it that comes down at a angle.

 

^werd. was about to say that.

 

but he thinks his bar is the shit, and i was trying to just help him reinforce it more , and it would be going the opposite direction then the factory

 

i think my cl is the shit

ppl do things bc they like the way it looks/ feels. to each his own.

me personally, i dought the bar does anything. im gonna put in a roll cage and call it a day.

 

seam welding the entire car will help too

 

its a good idea, but more than eight dollars, and your red guide angles for bars leads to trunk sealant, probably wouldnt want to remove that

 

thanks I was thinking of a roll cage but then its a luxury car... but you are 100% correct to each there own

 

WTH are you talking about? I pointed out the the "Stock" setup already has what you added, pretty much making what you added worthless. No where did i say anything about 8 dollars. Look at the stock setup. It is connected from one side to the other with a brace and the rear parcel tray, along with gussets going down at an angle to help stiffen.

Also if you take the time to see WHAT the red lines were for it was just an idea and NOT where they would necessarily have to go (though if you took the time to clean the seam seal off and weld it properly there and then re seal it there would be nothing wrong with it) to show you that a multi point would be better than just a bar going across. Go look at the front bar. It is a multi point and much stiffer than just a bar going from one side to the other.

 

x2



and the lines where an idea, also about the sealant YOU CAN BUY IT AFTERMARKET, body shops have to be able to reseal seams when people crash there cars

 

, why would anyone buy this for the front if soley side to side stability is so worthless???

 

^I'm sry. But u have to do ur fuckin research.

 

because they are like you with your rear strut tower brace

 

they serve the same purpose, side to side bracing, just because u look up what other people say, doesn't make u a researcher and sure doesn't make you any sort of engineer. I did my research I installed my own strut brace that I came up with, what have You done?

 

^more shit than u can afford

 

dun dun duuun

 

*gasp*

 

 

so u waste ur daddy's money we both drive an $8k car moron ur not foolin anybody. still u have no creativity and no amount of money can buy that, sucks to be U

 

^wtf. my dad dont help me for shit. i work my ass off as a heavy duty truck tech, making more than u. ppl that know me know what i had to go through to get where im at.


and i dont have just one car . i learned the lesson about pushing an auto tl trans to the limits. went 6spd and all is good. u dont need creativity. ur doing shit that one one did bc its pointless. and u just want to have it.

 

U probably do make more money than me for now, because I am finishing up my senior year at University. There is some truth to what u said I do what I want because I want to, and it all serves my own purpose. Maybe you don't need creativity in your line of mechanical work, where every tool serves its individual purpose. However I am an English Creative writing major, my mind is just more apt to thinking outside of the proverbial box which confines you.

p.s sorry your father doesn't love you

 

u dont have to bring my family into this. he loves me, just doesnt give money to spend on my car. as long as i can pay my bill, what i do with the rest of my money is my business.

now go and weld in some more useless shit in ur car that serves no go.

 

my custom rear strut brace. took ur idea and made it better. havent taken the car out on a spin yet

 

^^epic

 

<(in red)

 

Shut the fuk up you dickhead!!! I know Tom personally and his dad....you aren't fooling anyone with your big words....Tom works hard for his money and his car is fast and everything done to his CL is functional unlike ur dumbass rear welded bar that doesn't do anything...

 

sack rider 2 words you seem to know all too well

 

the extent of your mechanic/ engineer/ rocket scientist/ self proclaimed researcher know it all led u to this.. Now aren't u special...?

I understand it is improper to make fun of the mentally Deficit so I say nothing and let your creation speak for it self

 

Deficit is a noun Mr. English Creative Writing Major.

Were you looking for the word deficient? Or was that the "creative" part of your major.

 

^nice catch

i can care less how a product looks, as long as it performs good.


as for ur rear strut bar, it doestn do anything.

one of the reasons our seats done fold down is for stability and strength. we have the rear deck connecting the two strut tower. then the triangles behind the seat to keep it from twisting. its that simple. take ur car to an auto x and make some hard runs, ur bar will start to flex and might possibaly pull the metal where its welded or just rip off.

"the catcher"


but at least u can Catch on

 

if it doesn't in regular driving thats all I need, but thanks for looking out anyway, your a good person, thats just the alcohol talking i'm sure, but have a good existence doing what you do. Godbless

 

i just want to see test runs and results. ive pushed my cl hard and so far nothing has broken. well a cracked rocker arm roller and some bent valves. but that was a driver mistake


ps. i dont drink.

 

..thats me and my shadow on the left-hand side.

FlacoJ, its one thing to try something new and another thing to brag about it when you didn't put any R&D into it. Sure, I give you a thumbsup for originality.. its always nice to see people trying out new stuff, but cmon, srsly? Its your attitude thats annoying ppl..

 

awesome thread

 

, and i bet you wish that you weren't selling your car so you could do this
