now im intrested!

 

Looking at the pictures in this thread Ive got some killer ideas, I hope they play out! Should make for a better fitting, no drilling required kit!

I've always wanted to run a harness bar in my car but never wanted it stuck there for my kids to smash their faces into. Making it removable is going to be killer!

 

Thank YOU this is exactly what I was saying on page one also.

For the people in this whole thread making it a thread, don't get me wrong it's cool to see all this info but for the majority of these parts and an EVEN larger majority of the people, you're just buying parts that wont do anything for you. I have to chuckle at some of the stock suspension guys attempting to say they notice a difference after adding parts.

I would put money on the fact that you could take two EVO's with 90% of these parts, then drive one without it and not be able to tell me which car was which. Well ok, maybe.. you might notice the 50 extra lbs of weight when you toss the car into a corner, or can't stop as quickly. The plan in simple truth is most people will make themselves think that $xxx.xx part made a difference, to justify their decision. Spend the money on things that will actually help you, like tires, and brakes, alignment and if you're serious, coilovers and corner weighting and the absolute most important thing.. Track time.

People have been beating these cars to death for years and years and years now. Trust me if there was a huge or even worth while weak point, there would be threads and threads about it. You wouldn't be here scrounging for " well that looks like it would help" type info.

My last thought is this.. if there is anyone out there who knows the road racing ins and outs of this car, it's AMS. Ask them for some info, they raced the living snot out of the 2004 AMS Time Attack EVO for years.

 

So, do I get to commissions or some sort of royalties for sparking the inner loins of Dave Buschur to build this piece?

Worst case, I should get the 1st production version at a discounted price...

David - Honestly, the design I am thinking of is no different the swing out door bar setup as most cages have. All it would require is 2 pins pulled and the bar removed. If you weld in some loops, so the pins can just hang when the bar is removed, even better. I won't lose the pins under the seat somewhere...lol.

Similar to this picture below but on both ends, sir!





Hope this helps!

 

Forget the brace...Where do you get that clear fender??

 

I completely agree with this...I noticed a huge difference in my car during my first autox event after installing the harness bar...But like you said I also wouldn't recommend leaving it in the car during daily driving unless no one rides in your back seat...


I already have fender braces and a harness bar BUT I am VERY interested with what you could out with Mr. Buschur...looking forward to updates...

 

Curious - what braces do you have, sir?

 

Nagisa Fender Braces
Ebay Harness Bar with no adjustable pieces...here is the link...
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Mitsu...item19c4ac516c
DC Sports Ti Front & Rear Strut Tower Bars
Beatrush Front Member Support Braces
RMR Front K Brace
Cusco Truck Brace
Progress 27mm Rear Sway Bar
Perrin Rear Endlinks
BC Coilovers (8k Front & 10k Rear)

Thats pretty much my full suspension setup...

 

I just met with the chassis shop for these two parts. They will be in process very soon.

We are going to build a removable quick release harness bar. This way it can be taken in and out so you can have passengers in the back seat, safely.

The fender bracing I have an idea for too, it will require no holes to be drilled and should have more strength than what I am seeing pictured here. I have to find a loaner car to send over to the chassis shop for that, I've got too much going on with my RS to have it down for a week or two. Anyone in the area want to volunteer their EVO for 2 weeks for some free parts?

 

Sweet! I will probably get one of these then. I really like the idea of being able to easily remove the bar

ugh if i lived in ohio i would my car's just been sitting in a shop for the last two months

 

I'm still looking for a car for the fender braces, if someone wants to volunteer I'll give you a set for free.

The harness bar, we just installed it in the Bish, this is the prototype bar. It's gonna be *****in'. I will have the first production bar in my car for the Winged Warrior event coming up the 22nd of May. It came out very-very nice. Quick removal for your rear passengers all via pull pins. There will be an option for bolt in harnesses to, without them taking the bar out quickly will be not-so-quick. I'd like to see this bar come out in less than one minute, including the seat belts, if it's any longer than that I won't consider it "removable".

 

Hey Dave,

Im not really local to you as I am in NY. But i have the Nagasi Fender Braces and AMS harness bar on my car now that I autocross with. If you want me to test out the products id be willing to. Let me know if i can help. My email is Joe@EvoJoeRacing.com

 

I appreciate the offer, I don't need someone to test them, I can do that. I need a car for a week to build fender braces on.

 

Got you. Again, wish i was closer lol you could have had the car for a few weeks if needed. Let me know if i can be of any help if you need it.

Thanks
EvoJoe
