I gained extra headroom by chopping off the humps on the center rear seat mount points then lowering them flush with the rest of the bar and rewelding. After that I added a block on the outside front to bring it level with the inside front. That gave me a level area to mount new brackets and...
This is probably why. Someone else's coupe bar is on top, mine is below. The 45 degree bends make it stick out too far where the extremely wide convertible top support arms are. It hits them. You have to drop the height of the bar down considerably to avoid them. Unless you're short of stature...
It fits under the top so I don't think it changes the proportions. I think it impacted handling though. I took the car to its first autocross a week ago. The rear end likes to step out easier than any DSM I've had before. The first hard braking I had before a corner I slid into the cones...
No rear speakers but if someone were more committed to them than me (I don't even have a stereo or front speakers right now) they could find a way.I bought a pre bent main hoop from some site for a 2g dsm and it didn't fit at all. The shoulders were too high and hit the very thick c pillars...
That is some seriously rough luck. :barf::cry:Will you be able to replace Brilliant's aero kit? Surely they kept the molds...Your car is really amazing and it's awesome you go track it. Hope this doesn't keep you down and out too long.
I did the design and fitting. A fabricator I know bent the hoop and did the welding plus a little fabrication to fit the rear plates and reinforce the fronts.
I really felt the need for a functional 4 point roll bar but wanted to keep my back seats so my wife and daughter could ride along with me. This bar works perfect for my goals. I wanted to share it since so few are shown on here for spyders.
Trying to tune my knock sensor on an Evo 8 ECU. Is this real of phantom knock? I adjust the multipliers but I'm still getting these readings. AFR seems good for the boost level.1). Any boost, vac, or exhaust leaks?
One small exhaust leak at flange for external WG2). Verified mechanical...
