i am very interested in the roll bar and would like some more info on it, if you have any pictures of it installed on your vehicle, please post....... also, how hard is it exactly to install it... and does it weld in or bolt up... and would i have to remover rear speakers to install? thanks! once again, please post pics!

 

mine is cool, sorta messed up my door panels a little bit

 

pics please? more info?? thanks!

 

bump, someone please!

 

plenty of threads like this floating around.

do you have a civic or crx?

 

crx, searched, but nothing really came up.....

 

yes, you have to take out the rear speakers.

 

thank you very much for the pic! quick question, is it bolt in or weld in? and how hard exactly to install?

 

that particular one is bolt-in.

not hard at all.

take out the front seats, you'll thank yourself after the install.

 

Couple of pics of mine, that have been posted here before. Sorry to bore those who have seen it before.

Look closely, and you'll see where the rear speakers were relocated - works very well.





Better pic of the speaker relocation:


And here's how I handled the door panel problem:


Still looking for a way to recover the bottom of the panel gracefully, but content with the bottom half removed for now.

</TD></TR></TABLE>ive heard of people taking a heat gun/hair dryer and heating up that lower panel. Then closing the door and letting the panel "mold" around the bar. IDK...worth a shot I guess.

 

Here was my crx with autopower rollbar. I had to modify my door panels though because it stuck out just a little to much to where the door wouldn't shut.

You assume a minimum level of patience, of course. Not my strong suit.

 

dude, you really hacked up your rex. WTF!?


bar bolted in OVER the rubber mat in the rear wheel wells.

you didnt need to remove all of that speaker mateial.

you painted everything that god aweful red

you hacked the hell out of your door panels

i could go on for hours. me no likey!!!

 

Does anyone have a tissue? Streetwerkz doesn't like my car; I think I'm going to cry.

Personally, I could give a sh*t if you like my car. But I'm sure that it made you feel superior, and that's what it's all about!

 

honestly..... the only thing im concerned about is the bar installed OVER the rubber matting.





and the fact that you half-assed the entire setup, makes me wonder how legit your motor, suspension, and braking system is.


i suspect you drive a death trap. that's all. it isnt about whether i like your car or not. the only thing i shouldnt have mentioned above was all the red. yes, that was just personal taste.... but the rest of the bar install is totally wrong.

 

wow, thanks for all the pics!!! does the roll bar absolutely need door panel custom stuff on a CRX? or is that only on certain bars? thanks again!

no, thats only for the LAZY people.
take out the front seats.... CLOSE THE DOORS.... install the bar.
if you line it up correctly, you dont need to hack your car to bits.

i'll get some more pictures for you.

im buying mine today. hopfully they have one in stock =P but i will probably order it and install it and post pix

 

I'm not really sure how sandwiching the matting in there affects the safety/performance of the rollbar at all. Feel free to explain how that has any impact on anything.

Yours is the only install that I've seen on a non-88 seatbelt-equipped crx where the panels were kept without modification. So, kudos to you for being able to do it that way. Maybe mine wasn't installed very well, but there's no clearance on either side to clear the panels, so maybe your bar is a little bit narrower than mine.

As far as the safety of the entire car, I've done autoxes for years on it, done road racing at Pocono, always passed inspection, and have not died yet. I figure I'm either very lucky or everything's done a little better than you expect.

i guess thats all that matters.


sorry if i flamed on you earlier. i should have just kept my trap shut.

 

do you have to do the door panel mod in the civic as well ? my civic has CRX door panels soo j.w if i will have to mod them to don't mean to jack the thread

 

hey streetwerkz, is the difference in handling that much different with the autopower roll bar? does the the driver seat hit the 5 point mounting bar when it is all the way back? im 6'1" and dont want to get too close to the bar. im gonna have to go with the 1 piece fixed seat since i already smack my head on the roof when i hit crappy roads. i really want to do the replica jdm bass tubes with the rear speakers but the roll bar looks really appealing since i do a lot of mountain runs and chassis stiffness is good.

 

in a crx, the car gets really twitchy after you install the bar.

but you'll get used to it and adjust your driving.
