    Harness Bar

    in Custom Requests

    Posted

    Hi Dean, was looking into a harness bar for my ep82. Ive started a thread asking if anyone has one, few people seem interested and a couple people putting your name out there so thought Id get your thoughts since there doesnt seem to be a starlet specific one.



    I seen in your bracing section you spoke about a B pillar bar which sounded pretty much like a harness bar but dont know if they ever made production?

    Anyone running a harness bar?

    Im guessing being its adjustable its more for show. The idea of a harness bar is to keep the angle of the seatbelts higher or level with the shoulders incase of an accident right?

    If its adjustable aren't they going to be weakened massively at that point?

    Just putting my thoughts out there :)

    I see where your coming from, but as far as I can make out the bar itself is not adjustable, I think the holes on the end brackets must be elongated to give you some movement.

    Id really hope its not for show since its being advertised as "Ideal if you are using harnesses in your track/road car."

    I had thought about contacting Dean to fab up a starlet specific one (Edit; Ive put it to Dean.... )

    What one did you go for mate? Was it the Corolla one?

    If it fits I can see Tegiwa having quite a number of large orders for these :p

    Being honest, I dont know as it didnt give you a choice, I just ordered the one in the Toyota section :unknw:

    The guy I spoke to was pretty vague and un helpfull unfortunately, I gave him a rough measurement and he told me they were universal and there was plenty adjustment in it, so it would fit. Im not holding out much hope in all honesty, cause my mates civic was a good 5inches wider at the same point!

    Best brake pads?

    Never had problems with yellowstuff pads with grooved discs on the road. Ran ferodo ds2500 pads on track with the same discs and 5.1 fluid again with no problems. The ds2500 are quite expensive and pretty bad when cold so maybe not great for city driving

    ^^^ Yeah thats kind of what im thinking about doing if i try making one myself, Id have to get my seats in and see how far back they sit, if its not too far i might just run a solid or adjustable bar between the two top seat belt points. Id be taking the back seats out so could also have a kind of supposrt between the bar and where the rear seatbelts bolt to if needs be

    Not been able to reply on my iFail for some reson.

    I know the exact car your talking about, awesome! Same thing as that yeah, also like the AMS harness bar for the Evo's. Be decent if there was a few folk intersted for a GB.

    That one is missing a nut or two which is purely for locking the screw in place, they are adjusted by an allen key in the top of that screw. Looks like the top of that one has been put on back to front too since the top vac nipple is at the front instead of the back. Although That one looks in much better condition than some ive seen!

    I was considering selling mine but seeing the price and condition that some have sold in lately, and that one is missing parts, mine must be worth at least double :p

    TD04 WITH STANDARD INTERNALS

    in Engines

    Posted

    I run std internals at a bar on td04 with a power fc making 236bhp.

    I ran the standard ecu under fuel cut at about .8bar and it was fine but laggy, get a much batter drive with a map.

    I personally wouldn't push much more than a bar but at the end I the day it's down to how good the map is! 1.4bar has been seen but not for that long!

    You say you got a rad from tuning developments, is it a full size 40mm alloy rad? I could be wrong but turbo kits that fit a standard rad might not fit with the alloy rad?
