TSX 3Pedal

does anyone have it?
...or does one even exist for our car?

Just wondering because I have seen some Integras with their rear interior looking like a jungle gym.

Does having a rear strut tower bar even have any type of advantage?

Advantage = more rigidity in the rear end of the car

Do we have one for the TSX?

Its funny you ask this because my bro-in-law saw a Teg with one here in Ohio and called me to ask about it for the TSX.

There isn't one for the TSX mainly due to the how the upper shock mounts are hidden behind the sheet metal. I was thinking about a custom one which involves with welding up all the seams on the rear cross member. Then, fabricate a tie bar that spans under the cross member and weld to the upper shock tower. This should stiffen up the rear and eliminate the infamous rear cross member noises.

So does that mean all the racing TSXs (ie. Realtime TSX) have custom rear strut tower bars?

For a race car, the rear strut tower bar can be integrated into the roll cage.

Here is a picture (stolen from Dan Martin's thread) of the RTR TSX roll cage.

You can see the "X" cross bars in the trunk/seat openings, I'd say thats rigid now, not to mention the rest of the roll cage.

Yeah I was also hoping there would be one, but where the shock towers are, it would pretty much be a safety hazard for any rear passengers, if any, depending how its mounted of course.

wonder how much they would charger for the carbon fiber center console too.

$5K plus probably - not including dismantling the original and installing the CF one. That'd probably be another $1500 or so based on what I expect their hourly rate to be.

i can handle installation i just want to get one.
