woaaahhh....looks like that miracle side mount tower bar that i almost bought while in jdmland excellent!!!!

 

NIIIICE.. i was wonderin how they clear the lip on the frame. Thats a great pic of it. I wanted to get me a set of those, but I think I'm jus gonna weld a bar there instead. how much do they go for Dave? If it its not to bad, i may just buy a set.
looks good....feels good, i hope

more motor shots please

 

never seen that before....what does it do?

 

geeez, thats a mean little track car there....looks good though.

 

Where do we find these items here in the U.S (if at all)? If no one makes them here, I'll see if I can get some made.

 

Yeah, what's it do?

Dan

 

even though i make look stupid for asking but, what do they do and what's the purpose?
oh btw, you guys got nice rims! ssrs and buddy clubs are the shhhh
oh and the dood with the white crx, you have no rust under the moldings and the cladding. your car must be in awesome shape!

 

That support brace is functional if you use your EF on the track often. First time I've seen those before. Sooner or later some aftermarket co. in the states is gonna make them. I dig the SSR wheels..yummay.

 

I don't know if any aftermarket company is going to jump on this band wagon... considering the age of our Civics... they're getting old...

Reality bites... Then again.. I'm suping my up.. hahaha

 

That's true, EFs are oldies but without them honda's would not have been so popular for mods (that's what I keep tellin myself since all my friends have newer hondas). Who knows what the import scene would be like if the civic was never produced?

 

One of my friends works at a machine shop and im sure he could build these if ppl are interested im them

 

Here ya go some Engine pic's.

 

If i remember correctly, that is a "stock" photo off od the a-sports website, it's a japaneese car and the picture was probably taken many years ago, hence the lack of rust.

 

I will ask it as well, what is that suppose to do?

 

Well lets see what it did for me

1)Made inital turn in more responsive..
2)Removed a good amount of wheel hop
3)made the front end of a 11 year old car more rigid



And also if any of you have ever opened your car door on a lift and tried to close it again..it feels like your door fitting is off..right...well your doors will shut just like they do on the ground..I.E. body flex removed

My door is off even on the ground

 

If someone can get me some good measurements, I think I could have some made in the next few weeks or months. If not, I'm going to have to figure them out myself.

I'm very impressed by these. I want some.

 

i think some aftermarket company (like tenzo, apc, matrix,...) will end up copy them too. they already make strut bars...cant be too much harder. sucks for companies like A-sports. no credit for idea or 'r and d'. but yeah probably only for EGs and EKs. weird how a company recently made it for the EF, let alone a japanese company.

 

Lil Cs Zc: What strut bars are those? They look GOOD. I can't quite read the name on the rear uper...

 

Those strut bars are made by Benen. They can be found here http://www.landspeedracing.com/shopp...bcategoryID=92
but it says they are only for 92-up.

EDIT: oh yeah I want those a-support bars too

is there a website for "a-sports"?

 

damn, if somebody could get a hold of those support braces i'd be all over that! somebody must know a way.

 

question... will all of Benon's bars fit an EF?

 

A-sports is Auto Advance.. http://www.autoadvance-inc.co.jp its in nihongo tho. The supports go for about 17000y which is roughly $165-170us. not too shabby. especially for the quality of this product.
The main thing that set Japanese manufacturers from US aftermarket manufacturers(not all), is that they actually test thier products out on the track! And when i say track, i mean curcuit...not the "strip"

BTW. yummy HiTech header dave...very yum yum. Is the SIR front crossmember provide more clearance than the US one? it must for that piece.
