Hey Guys, as the title states, we have a used ETD EF Bar for sale. Been on the car for a few months, but was only driven in and out of the shop a few times before we pulled it off. We pulled it because we wanted to use a half rad, and the bar WILL NOT WORK WITH THE STOCK CIVIC HALF RAD IN A CRX! (Yes we are bitter.) It works just fine with the standard crx radiator. It may work with the PWR short half rad, but since we have already pulled it from the car, we cannot guarantee that. Our lesson learned equals a cheap barely used bar for a lucky HMT NOglet who wants to use the full rad.

The obligatory picture is below and the price is $200 Shipped!. (Current ETD price is $299 plus shipping).



Will take trades of RC plane gear, within reason. I'm really only interested in an A10 Warthog for planes, but will consider any mini ultra stuff, Spektrum DX6 Receiver, pico servos, outrunner motors, Lipo Battery packs. Also will consider Drag Radials / Rims.

Where was this last week? I just bought a setup from you along with the Fluidyne half size rad for my ef
So, are you saying it wont work, or is that just in a rex.

 

This is the reason I am bitter with ETD. Even tho they claimed by web and by phone it would work, I was not happy with it. Although this bar works fine with the stock rad, the crossbar is placed too far back (away from the core support) and interferes with the lower water connection on the half rad. Keep in mind that the half rad is taller than the stock rad.

This bar is their previous generation bar. The current generation bar is placed closer to the core support, right under the factory mounts. Although an improvement, we still don't feel that it is designed correctly for the half rad in the EF/CRX.

Your Fluidyne setup may work, but I'll bet it takes a little creativity.

We are working on a shorter half rad, which should fix all of these problems. We'll post up when they are available.

so do you think I'll need the rad brackets you have for sale in order to fit better

 

The ETD bar by itself, does not have rad mounts. So if you are going to use anything other than the factory mounts, you'll need to fab something or buy their brackets. Keep in mind that we were not happy with their brackets when we tried to mount a standard civic half rad. We only found this out a day or so ago, and are working on a better solution. We are not saying that their brackets will absolutely not work, we just were not happy with our initial look at it on our CRX, and want a better solution.

Now also accepting trades of Rims, Drag Radials, etc

 

what size drag radials? guy i work with regeared his nova and has 26x11.50-15's for cheap, only half a dozen passes on em

 

They need to fit under the CRX, so I'm thinking 26s may be a bit on the largish size Good question, I should have put that in the orig post.

 

i typoed. they were 29"

 

i have a pair of bfg d.r.'s, 205 50 15. but i wonder, does this fit the ef civic? i have an 89 civic si, and would love a traction bar, especially for near future turbo plans. and when i go, i plan on slicks, or a smaller set of d.r.'s.

you can reach me better through email : poloskatr@aol.com

oh, and they have like 10 passes, and maybe a hundred miles on them, with light to no burn out.
