New floor bar installed

New floor bar installed

I just got my floor bar in on friday and I want to share with you all how it came out. I got it from ebay (just look under "floor bar"). It costed me 46 dollars and it is extremely heavy duty. I've seen rollcages with the same thickness of 1 1/2 inches thick. Took me about 30 minutes to install and when I drove the car around, I noticed that it felt less flexy than it used to. well here you go guys.

no you dont have to, it's a floor bar. the seats are gone because it feels heavy with them on.

Did you have to remove the seats to install it?

wow you got some heavy 15 pound rear seats! i got mine out also but for another reason..i was rewiring my rear speakers! =P

what year is your car? looks like 01~ 02 S

all those floor bar i see on ebay are for 87~92, 84~86, and 03 04 05, not thing inbetweeen.

which one you got??

thanks!!

I know hotchkis has underbody crossbars, but their not anywhere close to $46.
Do you know if they have bars for the 1998 models?

I'm confused

to what you might ask?

the point....

I mean seriously other than having a new fun toy to add to the car, what purpose does it really serve? If your driving your car to where you need on of those and "less flex" the you must not love your car enough to just drive it right..

uhh it's not a relationship with a girl man.. a car is a tool.. <img src="http://vvti.net/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Smile" /><br />

but yeah, IMO on a non-tracked car, i see it as a pretty useless mod myself.

did it require you too drill to mount it?

here's answers and comments to all your questions

mingww - they'll all work cause they're universal.
hispanola - those you're talking about are called Sway bars.
tamago - i touge with my car every other week and i'm trial&error on parts to see what will benefit me.
italian - not required to drill, it mounts to the seatbelt. but i'll drill a hole on the far back to secure it in place.

my car is not a track car, but i guess it's not a bad thing to put consider it's price. it doesn't take much space too.

you TOUGE with it? lmfao that's classic..

i don't carry more than 1 passenger

it's fun. and my car handles pretty well on the mountains. Angeles Crest hwy's a fun place to drive.
i know you're into autocrossing, and i'd do that too but i've got so much stuff that's in my way to even have time on a saturday anymore.

Yeah man touge and auto-x is a lot of fun and to me a lot better than drags considering that handling takes more skill than just driving in a straight line or turning only left ( sorry NASCAR fans). Also even though you took the rear seats out how much would it affect legroom for passengers in the backseat??. I reaaly dont care cuz if they bitch about it they can call a taxi to get their ass home.

i think you dont' understand what touge is.. .. why not call it what it really is.. driving up and down a mountain in a FRONT WHEEL DRIVE lol

all this time i didn't know it bolted up to the seat belt bolt. thanks for the picture and info. i wanted to also get one of these earlier. as soon as i get some more money i will probably purchase one like that, blue.

what brand is the bar? i don't think i saw it mentioned anywhere.

it looks pretty cool sxlostv1 just ignore the nay sayers. Something must of crawled up their butt. So correct them if they're wrong and tell them to chill the hell out and to enjoy their toyota echo. some folks just like to burst the bubble of others because they need to feel better about themselves.

No need to reply to this mr. tamago just show some respect here is all i say. It's posts like this that make some folks scared to post up new mods they've obtained. As he said he's just doing a trial and error to see if it improves his drive when he does decide to take some mountain roads. If you don't like the mod fine, but don't belittle him saying his verbage is incorrect and to make yourself feel superior because you can drive and you think he can't.

hehe thanks drummer.

Tamago ... i believe "touge" can be used as both a noun and a verb, such as "autocross".

touge: autocross:
i touge with my car. i autocross with my car.
did you go touge yesterday? did you go autocross yesterday?

sounds right to me.

ok ok so he drives on a mountain path..

correct me if i'm wrong, but saying you touge makes you sound like some little riceboy reading too much initialD.. like me saying i dorifto my tamago..

yes but one is not an english word...

keep it in pms
