help finding a thread about deleting trunk torsion bar?
Thursday, November 29, 2012 9:17 PM
i saw a thread i think it was on here a while ago and it was about how to remove the torsion bar to open the trunk and replace it with some type of electrical actuator. i used the seard but couldnt find it. also, what do you guy think is the best design to do the flip flop trunk?

what are you asking? how to remove the torsion bars themselves or put in an actuator?
if the third gens are like the second gens you just have to basically pry on them. I took mine off my 90 about 2 months ago and it can kinda be scary when you remove them things lol. get a nice lil pry bar or large flat head and pry up on them to get them off their "notch"
do yourself a favor tho and wear a pair of goggles and look away cuz those things come off with some brutal tension

as far as teh actuator goes...cant really tell you how to do that cuz its a fab thing you gotta do adn figure out on your own. wouldnt be nothing hard tho besides a simple mount maybe on the underside of the speaker tray and a tab welded/bolted on one or both of the trunk hinges
