Hey guys, I have a bit of a problem. I am looking to get a Trust front bar and Explosive side skirts, but because of my dual cannons, I am having trouble finding a rear bar that is not only going to make me satisfied, but fit the rest of the kit. Does anyone have any suggestions? I am not interested in removing one of the cannons, even though it is a weird look, it has grown on me and I like it, even if it is a bit rice :P

My advice to you is a veilside combat rear bar, or pretty much any rear bar with the the right modifications it will accomadate the duals.

Which bars are you looking at getting?

TR front bar and explosive side skirts, taking the wing off and putting either a stelth or 'drift' wing on it.

I just don't want to have to cut into a bar and make it look home made. Looks like I am going to have to get something custom made.

I have a Veilside rear bar on mine ready for twin exhausts to be fitted, it required a hole to be cut in the rear bar on the right hand side, as well as removing the spare wheel and cutting out a large section of the metal under it in order to make room for the muffler to line up with the bar properly.

how did you go with the engineering of such a modification to the crumple zone in the rear of the car?

I wouldn't think it would be an issue. The reo etc are untouched, just the thin metal of the spare wheel well cut and a box section welded in it's place.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
