    Explicit Speed 3pt Strut Bar

    Yes, the ball is still rolling, just very slowly. These bars are by far designed better and stronger than Justins or DC Sports bars. The price will be kinda high (Around 200 each...maybe more for the R&D) but the price will be for each. He is not really interested in doing a group buy i dont think, all he really wants is someone to show up so he can make a template.

    The Good: Awesome bars, strong as hell, will clear B-series manifold.

    The bad: He has been super backed up for 2 months now. I keep emailing and IMing him and he keeps saying 2 weeks. Not a big deal, im not in any huge hurry to get mine. Problem is, when we do get this rolling, orders will take a while for him to fill.
    Also Bad: For FI motors only. Carbed guys could PROBABLY get by with a civic airbox.

    So for, i have a few that have said they are interested.

    Re: Explicit Speed 3pt Strut Bar

    Once I get my car going I might be able to take it up to him as an example of a B manifold. However who knows when it will be able to do that. I was going to go to him to build me a custom setup for traction bars / crossmember replacement.

    I think he is less than 2 hours away from me, so if I can get my car going maybe by then he will have enough people committed and I can cruise up there to help with mockup. We can probably get zach and alex to help to for other types of configurations.

    right alex?

    i was just chatting with him about the b manifold, we may be able to route it around the manifold rather than over, to bypass the problem completely.

    Re: Explicit Speed 3pt Strut Bar

    Im very interested but just a thought, if he comes off the front of the strut mounting points rather than the middle or the back would probably help in clearances of the manifolds. If I ever get mine installed id be down for a test fitting but id buy one either way.

    Re: Explicit Speed 3pt Strut Bar

    Pics as requested:



    this is the idea i had for us to use. I chose the torque bracket just because it is already meant to handle some serious stress, which would make it a pretty good placement for the firewall mount

    OH and newaccorddriver i did use your photo, sorry for not asking permission just let me know if you want me to take it down, i just thought it would be a good example of a 3g with a bseries intake mani



    they also have some bad ass 4pt rear bars for civics and stuff, here ya go.
