I have a ITR trunk bar and would like to install in the appropriate spot. Looking for pics of the location of the hole... it would be great if you take a picture with a ruler in the vertical position.

Thanks in advance!!

 

I'm not going out to my car tonight, but this will give you an idea

 

i love seeing that diagram, reminds me of how bad the ITR chassis owns

I'd still like to see someone take a caliper and measure the thickness of the ITR fenders and rear quarter panel then compaire to a sub model.

Ohhhh, nice . Sunroof for teh win!!!!

 

Does the trunk bar actually do anything or is it cosmetic?

 

I would think it does make a diff in the supsension... but at serious turnin and so forth..

thats just my guess.. a super itr enthusiast will soon tune it...

I don't have figures to provide, but I really don't think Honda would have gone to the trouble to put it there to look pretty. The technical guide (see the thread for that) states it's one of the body reinforcements done to the ITR. If you look closely at the diagram I posted above, the bar is joining the two rear frame rails together.

If you don't know, the front lip spoiler and the rear wing are also functional, in decreasing drag and lift.

Changes made to the ITR were track tested, which is why it feels so good out of the box.. and why it carries the Type R name.

 

Thanks for the pic... looks like the hole for the bar is even vertically with the clip holes that hold the rear panel.

Did you have to cut the rear panel that covers the tail lights if its a non Type-R?

haha I was only kidding with Rino. His car is a real R so it came facotry that way, but on a non-R you would have to cut holes in the panel.

Does anyone know where I can get one for my Non Type R or is the EM racing work the same?

there is no brace for a non type r that fits in that location. the r's are the only ones with the threaded holes to mount it to. but im guessing yea the em racing bar works the same way.

 

Here are the pics of the bar installed in a non-ITR using M8 nut inserts.

Didn't Dave B finally harass Austrian R into measuring the Q panels on one of his salvage cars?

 

thats a super clean install. where did you purchase those M8 inserts

I found them at a local industrial supply store. Home Depot has a few different sizes but nothing as big as 8mm.

 

so what size are the bolts?
