How do you know that bar isn't up in Nor*Cal also? It just might not be installed right now, or is it?

 

no its not, Because no one said they have it installed. :D And besides I don't want the rear to be too stiff, or else oversteer would kill me. :D

 

Ok, we'll see. Maybe some peeps don't want to advertise all of their mods.

Remember, when its comes to cornering, you want the rear end as stiff as you can get it on our FWD cars. Remember the pics of VW Rabbits picking up the inner rear tire on corners, that's what you want.

Oversteer can also be driver induced, whether its a poor line going into the corner, accelerating or braking at the wrong times, or even tires. With proper driver control, oversteer and understeer can be controlled if the driver has the skills to recognize the problem, and "drive" thru it.

 

I still like my tC swaybar, feels great. :D

 

Told you I don't know anything about Scions.

 

i want oversteer. or at least neutral versus stock understeer.

 

you want to drift it, don't you hotbox05!!

 

hells yeah. lol i miss drifting. all my old cars were rwd so they could all drift to some extent. but yeah. even my old school technology 81 bimmer had a frame to rear suspension arm sway bar. now i know what i gotta fabricate. yeah right i wish.

 

so you want to be the first fliped over xB? I can understand that....ummm maybe not. :D

 

I almost rolled Roger Foo's CVCC when we first started auto-xing back in 1984. That's how tight we got the suspension set-up. I had it on two wheels a couple times that weekend.

In order to roll the xB you'd have to be going pretty fast on a really tight corner to flip it. But then again, you can also flip it by over-driving your own limits/skills, by not having the skills, or the proper set-up.

 

steelies on a tight set-up and trying to drift on the onramp to the freeway will do it.

 

i dont really wanna all out drift with it. but i do want to eliminate understeer. it is one of my sworn enemies

 

sworn enemy? I got one of those, its called bills!!

 

Just in time for the mod:

Hey there you go!! :D Ready for anyone with an xB or xA to install on there ride.

 

very nice but... it'd be easier to just build a bigger bar that fits correctly .. right?

 

If you could build your own sway bar, than please post up your webaddress because I would gladly buy from you. I found that I could not bend this bar even if I wanted too, I tried to bend the thing on my own bender and nothing. So if you cna make your own, please show me how. :D

 

i plan on a larger bar in the near future. all you'll need is a solid bar of spring steel somewhat larger than the hotchkis one, and properly heated/bent to match the hotchkis shape. then some barstock for the ends..

couple hour project!

 

Or just weld some tabs on the ends like Progress did.

 

And of course this is an easy DIY project that can be done at any home.
