Newer traction bar design.
 

Well the old set on my Civic was long gone but they needed improvement as far as ground clearance went. I came up with this new design for the mounts that bring the bar up and back further.

Here is the finished product. I have already sold 3 sets and they have been well recieved.

I am working on a CRX set right now for my car. My rod end and radius rod order should be here by thursday. Ill keep updating with pics.

Can you show me where do you conect it on the car. I am 10 000miles from you but I would try to make my own.

Re: Newer traction bar design.
 

Will probably grab one if you decide to sell them for crx. Are you going to put half radiator support on those ?

Re: Newer traction bar design.
 

Half core is a must. I am running a half core myself. I may make tabs for full and half core. I have to check costs and time. See the other post of mine here for on the car pics. Keep in mind these are a bit different. https://www.homemadeturbo.com/forum/...?topic=33519.0

Re: Newer traction bar design.
 

Hey Dave. I definitely want to get a set of traction bars once I get my turbo installed. You'll probably be seeing me anyway since I'm over in Jersey part of the NE.

I was just wondering do you use the same materials, and measurements as other "big name" traction bars like Full-Race, and L-con.

Regardless I will probably be purchasing a set sometime next year hopefully once I get my turbo installed like I said. Good job!

my buddy wants a set for his 95 civic, can you PM me with details n prices on it. thanks

Re: Newer traction bar design.
 

So how did the first original pair you made hold up? I know you launched on 'em a few times right away but over all how long were they one the car?

Re: Newer traction bar design.
 

They are currently on a car in NH and still working great.

Re: Newer traction bar design.
 

Thanks. This is great. Can you tell me what is "Half core"??? Where does it go? Is it a part of some kind?

Re: Newer traction bar design.
 

half core is a half size radiator. if u have a 92-95 civic u already got one. 91 civic and new integs have full size

Re: Newer traction bar design.
 

What is diferent when you install te traction bar? When do you most feal the diference in cars behavior?

Re: Newer traction bar design.
 

Wheel Hop is Eliminate because the Stock Bushings are either reinenforced like in a 92-00 Design, or replaced completely in a 88-91 design. This is the main effect.

Better suspension articulation is found on a 88-91 as a Heim Joint has more freedom then a rod passing through 1" of rubber.

On a 92-00 the chassis is futher reinforced be adding the bar between the to front frame horns. It's like a Strut tower brace or tie bar. 88-91 might not be effected as much as there already is a crossmember there.

And more is gained in the engine compartment on a 88-91.

YAAAAR!!

Going from a Place crossmember (makes a lot of room, still uses stock radius rod configuration) to a Jimfab (aftermarket radius rods with Heims) on my CRX, I have to say I *miss* the extra room. Jimfab is pimpunit, but it has at most one red ---- hair more downpipe clearance than stock crossmember.

I like Heims + clearance. Nice.

Re: Newer traction bar design.
 

Ya, I was fabbing them like Jim-Fabs ubtil I learned that when keeping proper suspension Geometry, it created proplblems with B-Sieres oil pans and did not offer the Ideal amount of space.

Place racing doesn't really address the traction issue, Just crates more space.

Re: Newer traction bar design.
 

I cut down $11 worth of ES radius rod bushings and made up the diff in thickness with washers. Worked okay, but figured I'd give a true solidmount a try.

Re: Newer traction bar design.
 

So it just gets rid of wheel hop? would this work on any frontwheel drive car? Does it help with traction as the name implies? I'm limited on tire width and need all the help i can get. 93 nissan Sentra

Re: Newer traction bar design.
 

Depending on your setup. Are you looking for one? I'm unsure, but everything else is the same on a 91-93 NX2000 right? That my winter beater. I could take a look for you, if I fab one on it, I'm just unsure if it will fit.

Re: Newer traction bar design.
 

I'll check. But it think its pulsar sentra and NX. The only difference is I have a 1.6L instead of the 2.0

Re: Newer traction bar design.
 

are there going to be any for sale for the CRX? if so how much? and what is the time period to get one?

Re: Newer traction bar design.
