here's some pics...it was fairly simple.. any ?s

NOTE: i know this has been covered many times before but oh well. (ALSO my hatch is dirty, lol)






Review: i noticed a slight increase in chassis rigidity, but havent fully tested it yet so oh well..lol

 

not bad.....now some flat black paint and you're set.

 

Did you have to tap the holes for it or are they already there ? is that just 1 in aluminum piping from Home depot ? thanks ! Looks good

 

no black paint, i like the look of the steel, its actually nice and shiny in person...

its 1" box steel from home depot..and the bolts are there..

 

Can you feel a difference?

 

So were there any noticeable effects of this?

 

hey.
what do you mean the bolts are there? you just used some existing bolts that were already on the car and just added the bar to it?? were the bolts long enough?

do GSRs already come with one? you could buy that and put it on the 92-95 civic, right?
sorry for all these questions..ha

 

i can feel a little difference but i havent had the chance to try it out fully yet

 

the bolts are there, but you need longer ones, (3" is best i used 2") bolt thread is 12mm x 1.25 (hard to find, goto ACE hardware)

GSRs dont come with them i dont think?only ITRs do...so no u cant buy that and switch...plus the ITR one is on the back wall, like where our tailgate is, not on the spare tire well...

 

did you drill the holes to the bar.. if so what size drill bit..

 

bolt is 12mm so thats roughly 1/2 " drill bit.... and yes you have to drill holes

 

Which bolt holes did you use (did you use the 17mm bolts that are on each side of the rear floor?)?? Also, what hardware (item#/place purchased) did you use to install this...did you make sure to use the right thread pitch and everything?

 

i used the front bolt holes, but i am going to weld another 2 sections of the steel to each side, so it looks like a K, connecting to the rear bolts as well...and YES use the right pitch bolts are 12x1.25mm

 

i think that is dope, im putting it in my coupe soon! good pics too!

 

gsrs do have that hole...
its where the rear bumper support bolts up to

btw...BENEN makes that..its called the strong bar

 

looks damn good. I'm gonna have to throw one of those in!

 

Get it powder coated and it will look more professional. Im intersted to see if it helps your performance.

thatll look good black. Let us know how it works.

 

i was sayin GSRs dont have the bar

 

lol who eally cares how it looks, its in the trunk, lo...under that wooden thing...plus the metal looks better in person..and up close...ill follow up

 

I keep plannin on doing this but I never do. Mostly because I know Ill never find the hardware, but Ill chack ACE out.

 

thats way to micky mouse for me

 

whats mickey mouse?

 

its not jdm, yO! btw, i like DIY mods.
