Well here's some pics. I don't really need either of them anymore since the front is illegal for HC, and the rear has been replace with a rollcage.






Slight modification is needed to fit, but nothing major. Installs in 10 minutes.

how much are they new... ??

 

need some help guys..

 

quite frankly, if you attached that bar to the rest of the rollcage that can now extend into the engine bay, it would be completely legal.

anyway, what the heck do you need help on exactly? what is "carbing"?

ok, i did a search. apparrently okuyama carbing is some pimpy japanese brand of strut bars. seems to be popular with other car brands like Z's and NSX and miata. i found a link that shows this honda friendly place http://www.jdmspecperf.com that has it listed. ask them.

Prices.. quality.. ??

 

To answer your Q-
The quality of materials, construction, fit and finish is EXCELLENT

Prices are different for the different materials and styles (2pt vs 3pt) of front bars an ddifferent materials for the rear bars... I think they run $150 +/- for front an drear basic ones an dalmost $300 for the front 3 pt aluminum bar.
There was a groupbuy / deal in th epast few months, search the archives and you will find more info.. SEARCH my man, SEARCH

 

$335 for front traigular design I believe.....

Leo is the man for Carbing.

Quality = great

um , no.
not in the challenge anyway....

 

$300 for a strut bar?!?! That's outrageous, egregious, preposterous.

 

The last GB i saw was $285 too..

 

A local race fab shop could make those for half the cost. You could then polish it and put a pimpy sticker on it too...

 

 

But then you couldn't say it was "JDM y0!" which makes it a much higher performance part.

 

I should have had Kearney put some JDM stickers on my roll bar, it would cut the weight in half!

 

It would have made the car and driver a much higher quality as well. In fact - I bet you wouldn't have hit tires had you done that. JDM = mystical forcefield that will repel the vehicle off of anything solid or semi solid object by altering the trajectory to make it parallel with the object as opposed to perpendicular. An engineer can explain this better than I can however.

 

Thats a graduate level course. I'm not there yet. It will be offered at JMU next semester however.

PHYS 637 - Solid State Physics with emphasis on unexplained magnetic influence

 

Its not magnetic though. If it was then it wouldn't have worked on your car since it is made out of Tupperware and Tupperware has no current-carrying capabilities (which would be necessary for the magnetic field to have an effect). The rubber tire walls suffer the same fatal flaw as well.

The Japanese came up with something much better on this one - they are somehow harnessing the power of the Chi and installing that force into a JDM name/logo. It is quite interesting actually. JDM is the ****!
