so I was bored as **** today and I had these c-pillar bars laying around so I decided to do this. no real reason other than occupying some time lol im sure some of yall wont like it but whatever. the stickers are coming off those bars too so theyll be gone soon lol

 

Me gusta!

 

its not really an xbrace until the connecting point (in the center) is welded.

there are better connecting points FYI if u just took off the rear panels.

i have a set up like this on my car currently that will be out for the next scion exposed. its a PITA though matching up cutting the holes. if i havent forgotten there is a 12mm bolt on the lower section of the c pillar u can connect to and make a true X

 

^gotcha...i didnt know what else to call it lol anyways, ya this as kinda thrown together so i am def gonna look into other mounting holes around the trunk area!

 

here are pics of my set up... u should be able to locate the same mounts i used based from these pics.

 

What's up Pete? Only a Honda guy would put Recaros in a Toyota.


Just kidding. Looks clean for sure.

 

LOL! well the 12 yrs of honda life prior to the tc left me with deeeep roots for certain things... can you blame me for taking out the oem brick seats?

oh and what old honda guy wouldn't have this to go with his recaro lol






... im good paul. getting the car ready for scion exposed 2012 and some major changes this year. i've been slacking this last year or so and more FTL. hopefully placing some orders soon with you though!

how you doing?

 

Stock tC seats do suck hard. I will definitely give you that. So Honduh! LOL Takata. Oh man.

Doing ok. Attempting to digest the holiday(s), time off from here and more work around my house. I'd rather be here truth be told. Carpentry is not my thing, but it's the fam trade and I am decent at it.

 

Side question: Any idea where 2012 scion exposed is going to be?

 

scion exposed 9.0 is going to be held in florida. in west palm beach.

this is the event im planning on TRYING to make it to.




building a bigger house/remodeling? yeah im over the holidays already... its been super HOT here so it hasnt really felt like christmas at all. just going to drink it up for new years and finally get this 2012 wagon rolling. and whats wrong with my takata? lol its a real legit one i picked up this year for cheap! and its a 2011 too. you can't blame me for my roots... pretty sure i'll do a k swapped tc soon too!

 

I have been over the holidays for sometime.

Definitely not expanding. Just updating. I bought a fix'r-up'r before the economy tanked and I have been slowly updating it from the 60s-70s to modern. The plumbing is all original and I had to replace about 3/4s of it already out of necessity. Same for many of other projects. Wife wanted the bedroom a different color and I said that's part of your Christmas present along with some of the plumbing being fixed in our full bathroom. Half bath luckily I did when we first moved in back several years ago. Having a 2yr old in day care full time restricts my cash flow hard for anything else....

 

heres how it use to look.

it looks difrrent now, i dont have a recent pic yet.

 

what brand is that cpillar bar?

 

megan i would assume

 

so tcpete, do you have full usage of the trunk and the bar won't get into people's way? im thinking of doing that too, i want something to improve handling, and still be practical for the rear passengers.

 

petes def looks like it goes behind the rear seat so there shouldnt be a problem with people sitting there

 

its not a megan

i have complete and 100% full usage of my back seats with no issues for rear passengers and their heads.

 

lol this is for paul



i had red ones too :D

 

 

what brand is tho?
