i know, i would love to donate my crx to the cause but i live in colorado lol...so whenever you do get a donor car and fab some up let me know, ---- this could turn into new source of revenue for you, if you build a ---- load of them and sell 'em cheap enough that everybody wants them but you still make a little extra for your time that would be hot.....traction bars for all

 

Doesn't look like there would be any money in it. I would do it to help people out though. Its a fun little hoby and I enjoy welding.

 

Mad props for the nice buildup. 80 bucks isn't bad for materials. Damn I see one in the soon future not really sure yet with my MIG welder and my mad welding skillz if I'd trust it with something like that.

 

My mig doesn't have the heat and I prefer the tig anyway. Most migs would be fine if you get good penetration.

 

Congrats Dave . I'll definatley buy one. Seriouly let me know when ur making more i have a 96 civic. Or i'm down to shot out to CT and help u make some so let me know.

 

awsome job! I"m just curious... how did you determine where to mount the tabs on the main bar as to avoid binding?

 

The bind is what gives you the traction. :P I just eye balled the Lakewood bars and then put mine where they put theirs. The suspension still has full movement. You can adjust the bind by extending or compressing the trailing arms.

 

I was thinking last night, do you think it would be stronger if you put tabs on the other side of the joints as well? Or would that not be functionally possible?

 

Yeah I thought of that. I was going to make the tab vertical and have 2 and use a bolt insted of a ball stud end. This was easier and it seemed to work for Lakewood. I have 3 more designs I have seen that are good variations. When I make Hotrex's I may change it up a bit.

 

Ill be coming to CT in the Spring with my DA after hearing this!

We'll talk!
