well, i tried to get a picture up but it didnt work. has anyone ever done custom traction bars on a 1st gen crx? i think my idea will work but i was just seeing if its been done...

[AudioCra-Z]

Oh, please post, or send me an e-mail with them, and I can host them on my site. Usually RPR will host them for you, just ask.

I am anxious to see these, I am going to need them for my LS/Vtec.

We have thought of a couple of ways to do it, but yeah, send the pictures over or ask me for an album and I'll set it up.

well. i dont have any good pics, here are the bolts that im going to use to attach the bars to the torsion bars in this picture, the ones near the end of the bar



i am hoping that i will be able to attach them to this point. i have asked Geoff from full-race to look into these, if you guys done know him, he designed the bars for Z10, and is an excellent engineer. i am also going to see what i can come up with as far as a design.

I can't see your pic, but there are some pics from the other day of somebody who made some for the 1G, and they look sweet.

i attached angle iron to the front support and weld in some tabs.. and attach rod ends ..i removed the sway bar so in can mount the rod end to it ..but you can fab a bracket run with sway bar

i imagine you could also mount the traction bar to the bottom side of the radius arm too.

ahhhhh i was wondering if you had just drilled into the arm but that is very creative. i also asked geoff about it and i showed him the pictures to see what he thought. i didnt think that these would be effective with the torsion bar setup. i would have thought that because of the design the suspension would be limited to vertical movement. but ill wait to see what he says, hes the smart guy.

btw b20vtec86crx can you get any pics directly below the suspension?

just a little change i would make to those..

the place where it mounts to the front crossmember needs to be directly accross from the pivot point of the torsion bar to work correctly
