I'de like to see some wheelie bar set ups. Custom and or "store bought". How did you mount them? thanks!

 

Here's what Bill at NGR Tech did for mounts on rota92's car. Great job done by all the guy's at NRG, Bill, Alex and Tom.

 

Here's mine










Just make sure uppers and lowers tie into the main hoop. As straight of a shot as possible from the wheels to the main hoop on the uppers.

 

clean

 

I've never seen that car.

 

any more pics on this??? or any single bars pics around thanks in advance

 

Here's one Jenny took, in I think Oct 2006

 

thank you sir!!

by the way inspirational civic for me!! one cam

 

Thanks for the help guys, just installed these last nite for a customer. I let him take it and forgot to take pics of the bottom mounts, I just welded some tabs to some 2.5"x2.5"x.250 angle, and welded those against the bracket that holds the lower control arms (super strong). Let me know what you think.

 

I spy a NOS bottle in the car, what's the back window say ?

You might want to use ny-loc nuts and the bolts. Looks good, how long is it ? I believe it can't be longer 72".

I think I'd put a cross brace about 4-6" in front of the two wheels, or something like the second picture in post #3

There are also orange wheels that are much harder, if the car is going to be using the bar a lot.

 

this is actually a morrison universal kit, they are about 65" long (if i remember correct?), we are going to replace the bolts with chrome pins, the kit did not supply us with the heims or pins, or the endlinks. I am thinking I may make some wheelie bar kits specifically made for EF, EG, EK's...we'll see. I didn't add anymore cross bracing to it because the customer was worried about it getting snagged on the parachute (coming soon).

 

are you doing the chute as well?

 

I believe either way, he will still a net. I could be wrong.

 

i belive the rule states the wheelie bars cannot be more than 65 " off the rear bumper(meaning to the furthest rear ward point, which would be the wheel)

 

NHRA 2009 rule book, page 259 say's "see class requirements.

 

Yep. And also the front halo for his roll cage, and he is ordering up one of my intake manifolds. Thats my kind of customer :-)

The overall length was somewhere in the neigborhood of 65", probably only 4' or less was extended past the bumper, he shouldn't have any problems.

 

yeah sure is, cant wait to see it out at the track. its been a while since ive seen this car out there.

 

wow! the wheelie bars worked awesome! Jereme consistantly dropped 4 tenths of his previous best qm time. And his sixty foot went from 1.91 to 1.66 not bad :-)

 

good job

thanks man i'll get them but wt i was wondering should i stick them to the ground or abit haigher from the ground

 

By the rules you can't preload them. We go 1/4" off the ground.

 

are they solid mounted to the cage or are they spring loaded??

 

solid mounted
