I couldn't see any on Ebay AUS...

I would start a WTB thread first.

There's a few on ebay US Here.The dollar is not very good offcoarse but worth checking though.

See how that goes

A C-Pillar brace may be more what your looking for as its just above the belt area

The answer to your question is no I'm not trying to be funny I would actually be interested in something like this for saftey reasons. You see I have a 2 yearold son that I'm concerned about. My car being an ek4 there is no rear centre mounting point for a baby seat and this means he has to sit to the side. This worries me incase of a side impact accident as being on the edge there is no room for the body of the car to crush in

Yes they may not look the best and yes I did call it's sexy but my comment was was more related to function (saftey) aswell as being polite

So please don't mistake my politeness for arrogance or humour

You lazy bum Limbo

The C-Pillar brace is just the top brace.The others are optional.Spewin I can't do this is my Sedan...

Gio don't take shit from noone. hahah.

I think they look good. If your car is built for performance then this bar will definately look good in its place.

I'd like one for my del sol but i can't imagine the civic bar fitting without cutting through my center console (so not doing that).

I would probably have to get something custom made (more expensive then 170 thats for sure).

Will be getting new front and rear strut bars soon (ultra racing 2 points) to try and make the car a bit stiffer. I think if i need any more stiffness i'll seemweld the bloody thing!

i'd actually like an X bar

**beeza** · 02-01-2009 08:34 PM

Yeah the X-bar looks like a better design.

Jase,the bar is universal,so it should fit.

**Limbo** · 02-01-2009 09:30 PM

X bar looses alot of the boot room. It is better but abit of work also to install.
With a 2 yr old i'd thought you'd wanna maximise more boot space.

Thanks Breeza, i can't actually post pics at work. They block alot of the picture upload sites

my 2 yearold wont be in a pram

when he gets sick of walking i carry him

plus pram/stroller doesn't really fit into the back of a ek4

so usually there isn't much in the back

True true,I see,hehe all good Limbro

That's cool Daz!

Yeah its universal for the width of the car. However in the del sol the center console goes behind the seats of the car and stays quite high (alot higher then the exhaust tunnel in the car).

So if it was too fit i think it would be too low to make it over my center console.

The width would be fine though.

To give you an idea i think the bar would need to go about as high as the back seats (the bit you put your ass on) in order to clear my dash etc)
