Like the topic says.....anyone got a pic?? Also, for the ones that have this bar, did you notice the chassis being stiffer??

 

 

kengs, can I have the link to your JDM photo alblums?

 

im with him !!

 

LOL...most of my clubphoto albums have expired (been gone for almost a month); you ain't missing much anyhow

 

where and how much can u the cross bar for?

 

more importantly, who has first hand experience with it making any kind of improvements?

 

I agree with Rob...

Does it have any performance value?

 

I have it installed and let's just say that the chassis feels amazingly rigid. My friend who has a ITR says that my Teg's chassis is stiffer than his after I've installed the Doluck cross bar and the J's Racing c-pillar bar.

 

It is located at the middle of the chassis, where it would twist the most. I would say torsional rigidity would be increased. But the way it is setup up, it doesn't look like it does much. If it was a X-bar it would probably add more stiffness but that would require drilling.

The Do-Luck bar just connects to the factory seat belt anchor locations which is good so you can try it before buying it (if a friend had it or something).

 

Who sells it?

 

I actually got the bar used.....i havn't seen it yet cause my friend is picking it up for me........it's good to know that bar only mounts to the seat belt anchor.......i thought i had to do some drilling. But how do i know if it's a real Do-Luck bar? There is no Do-Luck markings on it according to my friend.

A compnay up here that distributes SRR parts carries a copy of the do-luck bar for cheap. I think they were like a $100.

If they work I will be getting one as well.

 

do u got a link?

 

from the pic it doesnt look like it will do too much, besides looking pretty sweet. but who knows...

 

There is No reason to get that bar, at least on the US Cars that have the Extra Bracing under the rear seat, Which the JDM Cars do not have.

 

Beside, if you have any rear passenger, they wouldn't be happy about the bar for sure!!

 

This is purely an appearance item. As TypeRmsm said, there is already chassis re-enforcement at this point. Even if there were not, it seems like a pretty pointless place to put a bar. Bling!

Here is the phone number to Gtech Automotive
1-877-414-4050 or 416-292-9778

I found the number in an ad in a local magazine.

Only the '97 ITR and all '98+ Integra has that extra bracing under the rear seat. All pre '97 don't have it.

If it's pointless, then why did Honda put a brace there the 1st place?

 

Since this is in ITR forum, I would like to point out the fact that our cars already have this chassis stiffening device. Its the heavy black thing that the front of the rear seats "snap" into.

EDIT. READ what was posted above!

 

but there is no harm to have more stiffness in the chassis.
isnt it is better to have a stiffer car overal.

 

Yes.. but there is a limit to stiffening.. after so much the weight gain far exceeds the benefits of rigidity.

 

Anybody know if the thing that comes on 97+ ITR's will fit non ITR's?

 

How much does it cost??
