Re: Honda Fit: Sunworks Texas!
I wish that either the C-pillar bar trend would stop or people would design them properly. It's simple. Make it work like a brace, or leave it off the car completely.
And because I know someone will ask: There are NO triangles in that C-pillar bar; it's just a crossed parallelogram, so the entire roof section of the car can pivot around the strut tower mounts. In other words, it's pretty USELESS except as a single strut bar between the two strut mounts. Sure, it's better than no C-pillar brace, but not by very much. Triangles work a lot better than parallelograms at making a chassis stiffer. EDIT: Here's a graphical, interactive illustration of how stupid that brace is: http://web.mat.bham.ac.uk/C.J.Sangwi...d_ellipse.html It's exactly the same as the bar setup in the picture. Grab the blue points on the linkage with your mouse and move them around; you'll see what I mean about that brace doing practically nothing. |

Dude...it's a Fit. You actually expect any real engineering to be involved?
If I look at a picture of someone's sweet custom suspension mods and start laughing my ass off, there is probably something wrong with their custom suspension mods. I'm just sayin'... |

Bro not everyone wants a car that goes fast or handles well... I expect to see something like that on a poseurmobile VW, but it's just funny and pathetic on a Fit. So that's where option #2 comes in: Leave the bars off the car. Is it sad to say that a ski rack on that car (from Texas) would be more functional than those braces? |

boy, that sure is..... something. :dunno:
