In-Car Camera Mounted on B-Pillar Bar
I was looking for a way to mount a video camera in the Evo and ended up with this. Since we don't have a roll cage in the car yet, there's no ideal place for a camera mount. So we raided the parts bin and grabbed a T1R B-Max Dry Carbon C-Pillar Bar, and mounted it to the B-pillars. Fortunately it was just the right length.
With the bar in place, we were able to mount the Ioport camera mount. Now the camera has a nice central position inside the car.
One drawback, you can't reinstall the B-pillar panel without cutting a hole in it. So we didn't reinstall it; hence the exposed metal.
Anyways, just wanted to share another way to mount an in-car camera.

Would be interesting to see a piece like this avaliable to track enthusiasts. If the pillar would be easily installable, we could just install it within minutes before a track event and be able to use it as a camera mount location. And simply uninstall after the event.

I forgot to mention, the T1R Dry Carbon C-Pillar bar is from the Civic (EK) / Integra (DC2) application, 1000mm long.
Also, since the bar is dry carbon, I didn't want to scuff it up when I tightened the clamps on the Ioport mount, so I wrapped some cloth around the bar first.

Nah, there's nothing there that is sharp enough to cut anyone. Besides, it's not a place you'll be putting your hand anyways. It's just whether or not you want exposed metal showing.

The part is already available. It's a 1000mm long C-pillar bar for the Civic/Integra. Install and removal is super simple and fast... basically two bolts. So setting it up quickly for track use is no problem.
