Just finished gutting the rear of the car and installing Megan C-pillar bar.
Easy to install, some minor trimming of the interior pieces will be needed if you don't plan on gutting the rear.

After test driving, u can feel the back end stay stiff around corners at high speeds
Very limited body flex

Will post pics tomorrow

did you buy this from promotion tuning? how much was it all together and what did you have to do for the install? im contemplating removing the rear seats (i dont really use them anyways and i dont like being a taxi driver lol. plus getting rid of the back seats would give me an excuse to not take my car to partys and such haha.)_ and i have thought about buying this bar. but im not in too much of a rush for it. got some other things i wanna spend my money on.

 

ive had it on for only like 5hours today, did maybe 20mins of driving with it in.
after removing the seats,etc. u can feel a diff., way lighter
hittin corners with the back end weighin less i thought i would have issues, but turned out ok...was hittin turns i normally take about 5-10mph faster

i will list all needed for install, etc.

for the price it was a good buy, i think
since my car is for autocross/track racing

yes, i did buy from James @ ProMotion
shipped out pretty quick

 

how much did they charge for shipping? or is it free? i may check my funds in the morning and if i have it ill think about getting it.

 

cant wait for pics. when you take the pics are you gonna have the rear seats in or taked out? and are you gonna have the interior peices in?

 

no charge on shipping, not that i remember.
i will not have the seats in, becuz i don't feel like draggin them out of my basement to put in the car to show

i have some interior pieces in, have to use my dremel to shape the ones that dont fit

will post pics of that as well

 

Cool.

 

cool


im just posting to see pics i wounder if this messes up the chances of ppl sitting in the back seat

 

Yeah.. It pretty much does.. from what I understand. If you look where your seatbelts are in the back, that is where they actually connect... not 100% sure.. but from my understanding, its good if you plan on not using the back seats or having them removed.

 

haha i dont care about losing the rear seats. like i said before just gives me a nice excuse to not taxi people around w/o sounding like a jerk haha

 

We will have approx 10 of these bars instock any min now... just waiting on UPS to deliver them...

I may install one in the company car today, not sure if we will have time today but it will be installed and images posted as well

James

 

thanks again James

i tried to take pics, but its dark/gloomy out today and my garage doesn't have enough lighting
so hopefully its sunny out tomorrow for some pics/install steps

really not hard at all, don't need many tools.
only issue i had was, i had to remove the rear seat belt assy. out becuz the bolt holding it in would not fit and hold the bar in place, i just used one of the bolts from when i took the seats out instead

u could keep the back seats, and try and sit ppl...but i wouldn't rec. it at all

 

Get their head busted!

 

basically

 

nice

 

here some pics i took this morning, since its sunny out
as far as the install goes, its very easy,very basic.
must remove all interior panels around the rear seat belt assy.
this includes the trim piece that curves around the window as well
not many tools are needed








the last pic is the piece that you will need to trim (if u want to put back on) or else it will not fit on/around the bar.

 

looks good. i think i may get it.

 

its a nice lil addition, and excuse for me to take out my seats

 

haha yea i hear ya on that 1

 

to keep your rear seats with passengers safely: use a megan c pillar bar from a 94-00 Integra and mount it at the holes behind the rear seat belts (spot C on the image). You'll need to buy new bolts, but they are the same size found further down the hatch. The bar will sit exactly on the top-middle of the head rests (when seats are not reclined).
