i came up with a brace that u can make in like 10 mins that bolts onto the rear seat clips and allows u to keep the back seat as well.....if ur interested i can send u a photo and measurements on how to make it....works a treat....and is good for some of us that like to actually own a car with some interior
Cheers

Yes Sam, they arnt the most useful. But they do look pretty, and when you get given one for a 21st present they kinda expect you to put it on the car.

i cant do a pic as i dont have a digi cam....but its easy enough to explain....im pretty sure u guys have seen that a-spec brace someone made up b4....but it ment u had to remove the rear seat...my design is the same but instead of facing it foreward off the rear seat mounting brackets i faced it backward....which means u can still mount the seat clip things and everything looks standard at first glance...if it was carpeted that is and not painted bring orange that is
i used 6mm flatbar for the end plates and 20 or 30 mm dia tubing as the brace
it works pretty damn good but now my suspention needs work
its hard to tell with these sorts of things though but at least i know that the back doesent flex cos unlike some of those braces like the one that goes around the strut mount this one is connected to solid structual bits and not just sheet metal and in the end it cost me about $9 to make and its mainly used to hold my 5 pt harness on so for that price what can i say
plus it looks cool and makes me drift fully sick yo like takumi
thanx
