safety bar - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #20179 13 posts Started by Ralph96gt
the other night something hit my car on the freeway and it knocked a screw off from my bodykit...so i was taking off my front bumper and i decided that as long as i had my bumper off id put the safety bar on....but i soon realized that the bar wasnt going on without cutting a big chunk from my bodykit or from my safety bat...so i decided to cut my bar.... the bar is divided into three pieces and i measured and saw that if i cut of the botom piece it would clear my kit....so i got a circular saw with a metal cutting blade and cu off the bottom peice...and it fit perfect.....well i painted it lack first so you couldnt see it through the grill..

ill put some pictures up as soon as the rain dies down

When I put my kit on I will be doing the same thing.
any pics of it. that bar isn't gonna do much now is it. i just have mine out becuase if i get head on i'm pretty much jacked anyways.
actually rjb, having the bar, ANYTHING connecting the two sides WILL make a BIG diffrence. if you take a real good look at your stock crash bar and see how it needs to be cut...it still has ALOT of structural integtrity afterwards.
will it be as strong as new? no, but a HELLLLLL of alot stronger than having none. >wink.gif>

but weren't they talking about cutting the bar completly in half like to fit a intercooler in there??
no i only cut a small section...but it still has a big part...and it should still help me if i get in a head on collision

here are some pictures of my car when i put the bar on....i took them with my phone...the picture of the bar itself isnt the final results...i had to keep cutting the bottom part...so i took out the entire section not just the two small parts...
