Hmm...you're kind of going the other direction lol. Most people put that stuff in after they have bolted on many power and suspension mods.

well, i got t boned on my driver side door nocking my wheel off, it looked like that one girls tc on here, idk if u saw that. but then he pushed me into a light pole head on, and i was going about... 50 and busted my race from the airbag so.... i kinda want that protection haha
and then im doing intake, and exhaust. then clutch and flywheel. and then suspension... but idk what order yet

[Redneck4csa]

Which girl?

Beforewarned that some tC's came with the add-on SRS package which put airbags in the seats and A and C pillars. I am not sure how it will affect your SRS system (if you so have the upgrade) but the SRS warning light will remain illuminated if you replace your seats.

um... idk where it was, but theres a girl on here that got tboned on the driverside front end, i think navy knows what im talking about.

and thanks navy, so would i be better off not doing the hole safty harneses? and would i need a new seat for a 5 point harness, if not 4 point

That her? If so, that's my girl. Back off! lol. No, but you need to first check to see if you have the side airbags. If you do, there would be a small SRS tag on the side of the seat...

[TcforLIFE]

lol i havnt gotten the car yet. and she is defently beautiful, but idk if thats her... cause all i saw was her car looking totaled...
cause i dont know how to exaclty look at peoples pictures, i did it once, and i cant figure it out again

If you don't have the SRS seat option, then changing out seats is a breeze. You will have to keep the stock seatbelt plugged in as it is part of the SRS system on all Scions.

so what would i do if it had side airbags, or the c pillar ones. thats probably the same thing but. if those are there. can i pull that airbag out??
and idk if u answered this but. would it be safer to just go with the harnesses, or just go stock

[navylife59]

Are ya wanting to replace the seats or just wanting to install safety harnesses. The airbags can be removed, but should not be messed with. Removing any airbags affect the capability of the SRS system to work correctly.

[TcforLIFE]

well i want to have a functional safty harness
hopefully a 6 point, and if not that, a 5 point

[navylife59]

There was a company out there that made a harness bar to do just what you wanted to do. I can't seem to find it now.

[TcforLIFE]

yea i found one too, it was like.... 800 bucks though


and i cant find the email they gave me of that harness bar

[TcforLIFE]

wait! i found it!!!!
nrg makes it.

The harness bar for the TC is the HBR-003.
With the HBR-003, there is slight modification that needs to be done to the interior of the B-pillars. Since the bolt is hidden under the pillars, the pillars' cover will need to be trimmed slightly to accommodate the mounting bracket of the harness bar.

Autopower makes full-on bolt-in and welded rollbars/cages for the tC.
Autopower Industries - Application List

[TcforLIFE]

the NRG one is just a single bar for a harness and looks pretty darn good in the car. idk how the ones from autopower would look in it...

[navylife59]

I am planing on building my own setup.

[TcforLIFE]

how are you gonna plan on doing that?
and are you gonna make your own roll cage, or harness bar?
and made out of what, cause if you make one. and its really nice....

i would pay you to make me one

[navylife59]

The whole enchilada. The plan is to make it out of titanium and that it will be bolted in place and have sections that can be easily removed when not racing.
