i did the pillar bar between the seat belts, and the bar in the back trunk area that type r's come with stock

 

haha i love how this forum does homemade stuff. i like the trunk type r style bar. want to share the info how to make one?

 

nice, but does it do anything?

 

o ****. i was gonna make the same two bars too. how did you crush the ends of the strong bar? any pics of the c-pillar bar ends? wanna see you do did that too.

 

i crushed the ends of both bars with a vice, and then drilled the holes, made sure it was the right size and then painted them red, then unbolt the selt belts, put the bar up to the holes and bolt the seat belt back in, and for the strong bar there are already holes with threads there also

 

Very nice...

We DA guys have to have home made stuff too since no one really makes stuff like these for us. My trunk bar is on the way. Thanks to a fellow DAer for making these.

I am really intrested in making this set-up for my car also. What exactly kind of bar did you use and what department in Home-Depot did come from? I am seriously intrested. thank you.

 

Bonus...

 

yeah what kind of bar did u use??

 

try a local kid's playground and just start taking it apart.
bring your standard sockets, that's what most are.

 

this is gonna sound really stupid, but what exactly is the purpose of this bar? does it stranghten the frame or something? or is it just for looks?

 

u can use any bar from home depot, they have everything, the purpose for the bar is stiffn's up the chassis, and also for looks too i guess, i like that way it looks, i seen alot of companys in japan make them so i just made my own since they dont make **** for our cars

 

Can't say that unless you have a 1G CRX.

Autocratic_1st_Gen i know u guys got it even worse, they make everything for the newer years though, it sucks

 

nice trix of the trade, jeje

 

Good job

 

other than looks , DID you notice any gains as far as strenth,etc ?

 

i havent tested it out at the mountain i go to sometimes, but i will have to ill let u know, im glad they way it came out though, looks dope i think

 

Willing to bet a quarter that you didn't gain a single thing from them but looks ........ just my 2 cents ......

The Type R's goes ALL THE WAY accross the rear hatch, and is as low as you can get in the trunk .......

A nice set of sway bars and a good shock/spring set up will lift the inside rear wheel off the pavement on an EF ..... even without sway bars, and crappy tires, it is easy to get loose with mine ....... there is such a thing as TOO stiff. But I guess looking cool is better than really going fast around a track .......

yeh that strong bar is kinda short. on my crx the bolt holes are like 35 1/12" apart and almost touching the trunk edge.

 

If it's not evident by my sn, my cr-x is gutted. The "rear" seatbelt mount holes that aren't used in the US are just sitting there in the back without any use. I've wanted to get a bar attached across the rear area using those threaded holes. Actually, I have a lot of time tomorrow. I'm thinking that would be a more useful area through the center of the car, and almost completely spanning the width. It's gotta be a solid mount to be used for seatbelts, right? I'll take a closer look tonight/tomorrow.

 

??? could u tell me why ur rear panel has a bar on it is that there to "stiffen" the chasis also????

 

i want bars

it might make up for the rust in the 4 corners of my floor pan

damn first gens

 

How and where did you put the small bottom bar?? And exactly what do these bars do??


Thanks

 

i can feel a little difference in taking corners hard, i will go to the mountain when i can and check it out there, im going to be doing some more bars soon, i just have to get my homie katobie to do some welding for me probably, also trying to find a bolt in cage if anyone has one for sale, located in sd
