Default EF TRACTION BAR 88-91 Civic/Crx Custom!

Let me know what you guys think of this. Custom EF traction bar. Possibly interested in selling them if enough demand. Made out of thick Mild steel and chromoly. Possibly making 92-00 radiator brackets and jack locator to jack it up on. Unfinished or powdercoated possibly available. Let me know what you guys think.



Quality Welds!

looks nice, how much unfinished?

(i'd have the local powdercoat shop do it for me in my choice of color)

Looks pretty nice!

A jack point and EG radiator brackets would make this a very desirable piece.

where did you get the "radius arms"? made? I think that is what they are called...
would you sell just the arms?
also how long are they?max/min adjusted length?

thanks

having the bar closer to the engine would cause header clearance issues .. i suggest you move that bar closer to the front of the car.. 4-1 headers would have this problem..

How in the world can you tell how close this particular bar is to the engine?

I like them.

How much clearance for huge downpipes/headers does this offer over the fullrace design?

none, even less clearance. if you look you can see that the bar is closer to the engine then the full race is. about 2 inches closer id say.

i see all these copies of ull-race but no one copies it the right way, lol.
