no pix of the firewall bar. I'll take some though. I got it from Hurricane GS, he sold his used one. There was a link from Noodlz (spelling) in the sale/wanted section. He had about 20 of these discontinued firewall bars left over from a group buy. They are made by neuspeed.

There is also a floor bar available (it is universal) that bolts up to the two fron seat belt mounts and runs along where the rear passengers would put their feet. It has a hump for the middle and comes in powdercoated colors too. Another way to stiffen up the chasis in the middle =]

Do you understeer like a bish? I got 4 bars and in a tight turn, I can just feel the front wheels sliding ever so gently under hard acceleration. Not by much, just like a couple inches maybe.

It's not a bad feeling, it's actually really cool, so much so that I expect it and adjust accordingly.

Heh, it might just be my crappy tires but it's fun.
Are you on stock tires? (eagle rsa's?)

The Neuspeed bar is an easy install. You have to space out the brake fluid reservoir so that the bar will fit tho and i had to take the top bolt out of my windshield washer reservoir to space it out some. The spacers came with my neuspeed bar.
