#556240 Powerbarz Torsion Bars .91" Approx 23.5Mm

Posted by ideal41 on 24 June 2013 - 03:22 PM in FS

***************SOLD**************** thanks to Viscious

 

 

Don't know much about these...24.5" long...they were in an 86 3g race car...they have the keyway slot ...markings can be seen on the end of the bars in the pictures....tried to get info off the web and I couldn't come up with anything (might not be looking hard enough) I don't have a metric vernier caliper but they are .91" which is apporx. 23.5mm. I just replaced with 29mm medievil bars and while they are stiffer it is not a huge difference and these are labelled left and right so these may have some tempering or pre-stessing I just don't know.

 

selling for $200 shipped Canada or USA

pm me if you have any questions

#550358 Which Medieval Torsion Bars?

Posted by ideal41 on 22 February 2013 - 04:29 PM in 1G CRX

that clarifies things for me....thanks....the drop down menu on heel-toe just shows lengths and was leaving me wondering.




#550354 Which Medieval Torsion Bars?

Posted by ideal41 on 22 February 2013 - 02:27 PM in 1G CRX

going to get some for my track car...29mm should be good enough...running 7" hoosier slicks and illuminas...on heel-toes site they show 2 different lenghts,,,24" and 24.5"...besides the obvious, what is the difference...I mean which do we use for a 86 civic/crx?....and a $100 price difference between the 2....any advise out there? and is 29mm enough?...I can't imagine needeing more than a 450lb spring rate.




#549342 Arp Wheel Studs?

Posted by ideal41 on 01 February 2013 - 12:46 PM in 1G CRX

bumper is functional only...stock cover wouldnt accomodate bars behind it....and it is easier to find old corolla bumper covers where I am than any 84-67 civic parts.




#549324 Arp Wheel Studs?

Posted by ideal41 on 31 January 2013 - 07:26 PM in 1G CRX

Thanks guys....the shoulder seemed massive compared to the stockers....I bought new gorilla nuts....needed 60 degree straight cut bevel instead of acorn to fit the circle wheels. Figured out the picture posting....have a look7D11172172.jpgDSCN2422_zps71a316c5.jpg




#549281 Arp Wheel Studs?

Posted by ideal41 on 30 January 2013 - 08:04 PM in 1G CRX

New to red pepper...picked up an 86 civic mini stock race car last year and in going through it to get it race ready (up to my spec anyhow) I was going to upgrade the wheel studs. I am running 7" race wheels with a pretty major offset and I figured it would tax the stock studs under heay cornering. Question is, has anybody ever installed these studs?...I tried to install a stock stud from a 92 civic and it seems like the shoulder is bigger than the 86. I don't want to buy them if they won't pull in.

Thanks guys and gals

 

I will see if I can upload a picture

 

just realized I posted in wrong forum...still applies to crx.
