Emerald is right. That bar does very little to "stiffen" the chassis. That wall between the gas tank and the cabin makes the rear plenty stiff. In addition, it is my understanding there is another sort of brace under the rear bench. Though the bar still looks very cool

 

Hi

As some of you here know i've had a rear bar on my car for a lil over year. It was done 'For the sake of doing it'. We did it as a start to my 'Drift' project but I ended up loading the car up with speakers,amps etc. because the trunk is so ugly with the tank in the middle.

Even before the subs n stuff I would take the car out to drift with some of the crews here and I seriously couldnt tell when I had it on or off.

The mounts are not the same as the front.

808SC300: you are correct. there is more bracing...The rear is VERY stiff...almost over-kill with that tank being back there and all of the protection they've provided for it.

 

Emerald, you want to sell me the rear STB?

 

it's behind my sub boxed n stuff...fiberglassed and molded into the trunk.

I've been eye-ballin some stereo stuff laying around here...if Im able to get my hands on it i'll re-do the trunk this spring and will be able to have it out. Trunk took a lot of time so I wouldnt want to take it apart without a new setup goin in.

 

Is there a reason why the Soarer gas tanks are usually black while the SC's are bare metal?

 

My 92 SC4 has a black gas tank.
And we still don't know what those things are on the top corners of the photo!

 

Those things are to keep away animals and insects from the car.....they make a high pitched whistling noise as the wind passes through them...










I've really no idea what they do.....lol

 

Hey, if you do redo you stereo, DEFINITELY take it out and send it to me! I'll take it for SURE. I love suspension mods...

 

Even if they don't do anything, but maybe add a little weight manny? Wanted one too at first, but my assessment was the same as Em's, very thoroughly braced back there...
