J.R.P (Jerry Race Products) "X-BAR" prototype for EK. We will be making one for the EG and most likely the EF also. It is made out of polished stainless steel and will be available polished or powder coated. It weighs about 8lbs or so. It's not too heavy. It's very strong. We've been testing this one real hard for a month or so and the welds are really strong. This would be a great piece for auto-x or road race. It can be shipped out to the lower 48 states...or picked up in Los Angeles. Jerry is asking $499 for his "X-Bar". We don't yet have a price for the powder coated ones, but if there are any questions please PM me. This only the prototype, the final version will be nicely polished out and everything sanded down smoothly. What do you guys think? Any interest in this type of bar? Comments welcome. ?

it looks good and seems to do some good handling..but for the price . just giving my opinion like you ask.

werd, i should try to weld something like that too... lets see the finish product

 

did you just weld random pieces of metal together ?

I cant believe what you're asking for that garbage *** terribly fabricated piece.

no these are not "random pieces of metal" sorry. These pieces were picked because they are strong and light weight. if u think u can make one. please go ahead and try. the angles and exact measurements were pretty hard to achieve. I dont think u have a right to call it garbage since u haven't seen it in real life. if u actually have sat down and welded for hours on end and came up with a final product, then u can talk. other than that, keep ur pie hole shut.

 

I'm a fabricator and know what it takes to produce a nice quality piece.

yours is neither of those.

lol

 

lol. this is just a "PROTOTYPE" so u kinda get the idea. the welds ofcourse are gonna be alot better. this is just to get the word out and test the waters for something like this. The price might be around $300, we're still discussing that. Thanks for all the comments guys.

 

usually when i want to make a good first impression i would show my best work, not some half-assed piece...honestly it looks like **** and no one will buy any other because of the bad first impression...i would have made it look great before i put it up...

maybe have him make a better one and take down these pics

 

it really looks like he threw a bunch of scrap metal together made that. if you're trying to somewhat replicate the Miracle Bar, i'd start out by using thinner pipes. no need for such HUGE tubing for an X... good luck to your friend on selling those.
