Not sure where to put this, but here it is.

Can someone post a picture of your car with the following in your car. But first of all, it must have a 4 pt roll bar in the rear with or without seats taken out.

-4 tires/rims (track tires) 245/45/17 or w/e you have
-1 jack
-2 jack stands
-tools
-etc...

so if any of you track folks have one lying around that would be great.

Basically i just want to know if all this can fit. Do i need to remove passenger seat to get tires/wheels in or no. Or do i just need to move passenger seat forward and recline it the farthest i can.

Thanks all!

 

No roll bar...

 

wow, your car is packed lol

 

Thanks! anyone with pics of everything with a 4pt rollbar?

 

no pics but when it was in, you had to remove the passenger seat to get tires in the back

 

hmm...that is no bueno. How am i going to put 2 tires in back seat and 2 in trunk and still able to take a passenger for a ride along? Btw, i will have a TC-Design 4pt rollbar in rear.

 

once the wheels are back there put the seat back in.

 

Ya got 2 options if you want to put tires in the backseat area with a 4pt. rollbar.
1) Remove the front seat - put in the tires - put it back in.
2) Modify the rollbar to allow you to load/unload directly in the rear (pic below).

Pic of the passthrough bar I worked up.
Not sure if you can tell in the pic, but I modified my Autopower rollbar on the passenger side to allow for removal of the cross-bar. This way I can still haul 3 tires in the back seat area. Otherwise it's close to worthless area in transit.

 

Ok guys, check this out.

This is what it will look like.





You think 2 tires can somehow fit past the rollbar to fit without modifying the rollbar because that is not an option.

 

Take the seats out in the rear....

Scorke

 

your bar is so far back, I don't know if you would have room for four.

having the bar back is good though, allows the pass. seat to track back

 

im not worried if it will fit in the rear, but more on how it will fit without removing the front passenger seat. I know the rear seats has to be out. Im only planning to fit 2 in the rear and 2 in the trunk. Worst case scenario is remove passenger seat, but i really really dont want to do that.

Just imagine:

At home:
-Remove Seat
-Store Tires
-Install Seat

At the Track
-Remove Seat
-Remove Tires
-Install Seat (for ridealongs)

After the Track:
-Remove Seat
-Store Tires
-Install Seat

At home:
-Remove Seat
-Remove Tires
-Install Seat

So you can see how much a PITA it would be if i can't put tires back there without removing the seats. So anyone able to fit it in a way it doesnt involve removing seats. I have binary brackets so it sits 1.5in lower, but at the same time its harder to access the bolts. Don't really have that much time at the paddock to dick around with seats in and out and in.

Option B: Just remove the passenger seat and say "sorry, no ridealongs...too bad" - easiest for me.

What do you think?

 

my solution is simple - only keep the driver's seat =)

2 wheels in trunk, 2 wheels where passenger seat would be (secured to 4pt rollbar)

leaves room for 6 5gal jugs of E85 inside the car plus all tools, helmet, etc

 

Removing the passenger seat doesn't take long - it's just 4 bolts. But you'd have to rerun the harnesses and that'd be a time sucker!

 

ehh get a small trailer and pull all that stuff with your Evo to the track. Thats what I do. 3 wheels on the trailer, 1 in the trunk. Jack, Jack stands, 4 2x6, torque wrenches and other tools. I usually drive 60-65 mph on the highway with the trailer . So far I probably put about 3K miles pulling my small trailer to track events.
