hmmm, I guess there are reasons out there to have something like this...

THanks for clearing it up for me, never thought about track purpose. I was mainly thinking for show

looks like there is something else that I need to buy


so does this mean that if it makes it easier to get the bumper off then the bumper support is no longer there??

hey guys. i talked a lot a couple pages back about my rear wheels sticking out like a go-kart. i finally have a picture that shows what i'm talking about:


settings are:
-.7* camber in the back
38mm offset
15x7 Kosei K1
195-50-15
DA rear trailing arms with civic upper, and lower arms.
adjustable toe links, toe set at 0*

im hoping just kicking a little more negative camber in there will allow the tires to tuck a little. Anybody have anymore input now that you have pictures to work with?

sometimes racecars require them for quick installation and removal of body panels and bumpers. especially when loading and unloading a trailer at the track. but the car that was posted with them, did it for looks.

typically, they are used on racecars not streetcar/show queens. <TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by g2_teg_ &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">im pretty sure they aren't designed for people who leave their cars on the street every night.</TD></TR></TABLE>

you have the right idea.... no need to run supports or mounts with quick releases.


here are my 'quick releases'. 1/4 turn dzus fasteners:

Never under estimate Ohio. Some douche guy I know got a professional attempt on his airbagged cavaqueer. It was 10miles from my house. They were down here from like Detroit or Chicago or something. They were professionals, long list of priors had a chop shop operation going in their hometown. The douche guy, as douchey as he was he did stop a thief. His alarm went off, and his pager alarm chirped, and he came outside with a Louisville Slugger, and whacked the hell out of the thief. The thief was then afforested, and the douche sold his cavaqueer.

Moral of the story is NOWHERE is safe, not even Ohio. That being said I have several hiding spots where my car could be. All have store alarms, and night vision camera systems, and are in areas constantly covered with police making rounds. If someone attempts on my car they will be hunted down, and tortured to death in horrible ways. This kit would allow me to remove the bumpers, and a bunch more stuff to make it harder to take. Not to mention it would make my car way easier to get on my trailer. I drove my stocker HF on the trailer the other day, and the front lip scraped. It is stock height, and the KRX is on about a 3" drop I'd say, with Mugen Bumpers, that **** got to come off. Since I had about 750 in the front bumper, and lots of current refurbishing of it. I want to hide that bish. My bumpers would have wall racks hanging up n my bedroom, so they could sleep with me, my gats strapped with infrared beams.

Moral of the story is I say keep your **** on lock. My KRX is never at it's legally registered address or my house. I never blur out my plates. come to my house, you'll never find my KRX. The places it stays at I rotate locations, at no real pattern. I mean my HF is at my crib, but that **** is weak. No one would steal it, unless they were after the Navi system, and the half a dozen of grand of various amplifiers, and speakers. They would probably just rip that **** out of my car though. It sits in my driveway, with a pager alarm on my side, and a couple thousand rounds of ammo in my room. Plus I hid my alarm where it will never be found, and I have some sweet completely hidden kill switches. If someone ganks my ****, it will be a worthy attempt for my **** is always on lock. Although the HF can be vulnerable while I drive it during the day. Safe at work though with a camera on it outside. I have all sorts of crazy alarm add ons too, like sirens with a battery built in each siren, hidden in multiple locations. I work at a stereo shop, so I get allot of that **** hella cheap. All of the stereo **** was **** I had, although I built a new fiberglass box for my W7. The exception is the navi unit, I just got it for dealer cost, plus it had a $200 rebate. It is still quite like fort knox, and I am always close to it for one thing. Allot of the time, I am not packing heat though. I need to get my concealed carry permit, then **** will be on lock everywhere. As long as I am 1500 feet or closer, it is on!

Cliff notes: If you are a thief come steal my car. Here are the plate #s.

Had her 10 years. I wanna make it a lifetime.


BTW K series EFers. I talked to the guys at Kinsler on a forum that will rename nameless, and they said they custom build all their ITB sets, and are 3hrs from my house, and they are going to prototype a set for my car. They said they can probably make it fit. They made some crazy power too. This guy was using like 65mm ITBs, and making over 300hp all motor no vtec. I think I am just gonna have them make me build some 60mm units to go with my S2K stroker K20 I am gonna build. Should be a sweet setup.
