Finally installed my Axiom Autosports rear harness bar
 

It's *much* beefier than the tanabe bar that just came off :)

I had hit a snag on my install b/c the stock nuts that hold the bar ends on arent threaded all the way to the bottom, and with the thicker metal on the axiom bar mounting points I wasn't able to grab any threads with them. After some searching I came upon the proper m10x1.25 flanged nuts with thread all the way to the bottom and in the proper grade. I actually have a bunch extra if anyone needs them....they'll come in handy for the front bar in the event I need to shim my front bar higher to give me more clearance at the greddy elbow.

Install was a breeze, fitment was perfect. You do need a massive allen key (3/4?) to bolt the bar to the ends. Very shiny, I'm happy with it. Now to go harness shopping :D

looks great! i'm still meaning to buy one of these...too many things on the list though.

i wonder if he'll be designing a new front strut bar as well? it would be nice to have a matching set!

It's hard to notice that nice harness bar when there are pimp seats distracting you. ;)

yeah, those seats are pimp

looks awesome!

you need to powdercoat it flat black. shiny is playyyyyed out ;)

or cerma coat it. lol

Eh, I love the polished look, in person it looks fantastic set against all the oem black plastics. Chris Carlisi snapped a shot when I was visiting him and his 3 rotor FD today, maybe he'll post it up when he's not ripping through the lincoln tunnel with a perma-grin on his face :lol:

OMG OMG, Like OMG!

Those PINK SEATS are like SOOOOO TOTALLY AWESOME!!

:gayboy: :gayboy: :gayboy:

I think their actually red...

yeah definitely red. those are rz recaros right? if so, call me ghey all you want those seats are pimp. (and super expensive)

Huy is just jealous because the pink totally outdoes his smurfy blue motif on his trailer queen show car :lol:

It's the freakin' flash that washes out the color, does it to my paint too.

Yup, they're the Spirit R seats......Ramy at FD Newbie really pulled out all the stops to get them for me, they were basically brand new---the foam hadnt even developed a wear pattern yet :icon_tup:

Car is looking good Rich!

Its red dude, not pink. Look at the paint of his car, it looks pink too. The flash from the camera puts too much light causing the red to look pink. That happens to me everytime i take pics of my car. So i just lessen the exposure off my camera settings.

Btw, it looks good, very beefy and shiney.

Rich,

As much as you have invested in your car, why didn't you go with a 4-pt rollbar?

Hey Kyle,

I'm trying to keep it more of a street car, if you can believe that :D

Rich, that looks very nice.
I might need to copy you. :D

looks awesome :) what harnesses are you looking into now? ^_^

Rich, is that curly wire plugged into your cigarette lighter a radar detector? I can't imagine you speeding... :)

Rich using any excuse to pimp his seats. hehe I would too if I had them and will be at Deals gap when I do. Car is looking good BTW see you in week or so.

Dude,

if you want a street car, dont put harneses in. Or at least make sure you retain the stock seat belt. Ive removed my seatbelts and have had 4 and 6 point harnesses in my car (currently 6) and trying to instruct every person thats not beein in your car before how to put the harness on is a pain in the ass.

Added to that you have to sit there with the door open so your elbow can bend enough to plug the shoulder straps in, and its just a big pain for a street car...

With the Spirit R seats, I just run my seatbelts 99% of the time. The harness are for track time, or events like Deals Gap :)

You do realize that the seat belts will help you in a roll over where harnesses may have a negative effect without a roll bar. SUCKA!

I only plan to use the harnesses on the track, and certainly don't plan on ever rolling over. Keep it up and I'll make sure that your diff is shipped to Madagascar :lol:

I have to say this sounds slightly rediculous to me.:Wconfused
