Project: Honda CR-X(mugen,desmond ltd,omni,cage,b seria...)

[Stealth-R]

damn hot project

[koshir]

Updates:

Finally ready for mold....
damn that was difficult to make it fit...
there is like 5kg of body filler, new lines made (fiber glass), new mounts, etc

where ever you touched it you made hole in outer layer (gel coat)









--------------------------------------------------------------------

Mold is done,
now I have to fine sand the interior and fix some spots and then polish it to fine gloss so products will be 1A quality...

it's very heavy and strong so I hope the product will be very very accurate

+ I got pair of front lights from CRX SiR (plastic ones) so I'll probablly put those on and sell the iVT (glass ones)...weight reduction

:-)

Finally got another part that was very very high on my wish list...
FULL RACE traction bar since $ was very low compare to EUR I decide it's time to buy this very "expencive" part (for what it is, pipes and uniballs)...
I was waiting almost 4month to get it, cause of shipping to EU and delivery in USA problems....

and got another part spoon copy mirrors, will put those on just cause of lightweight factor, will have those on until I figure something else...

P.S.: mold is ready, nice and shiney so final product will be out very very soon

there was big problem with shipping cause part is longer than 1.05m and can't go with ordinary post that has normal prices for shipping (USPS) so when the seller checked delivery to EU via DHL,UPS and other private firms it was like 200$+ so I asked guy in here that imports cars from USA if he'd buy it for me and put it in container, so I got it very cheap to my place.

(I waited for this bar for 7month cause first seller-shop fucked up deal and the guy in states has to get money back - refund and oreder it from another seller -- quite a story, but now I have it here and that is all that matters )

hi koshir,

nice to see that your car is anymore under construction

i´ve 2 questions to the traction bar.

- i only see one fixing point. (the oem traction bar behind ed/ee is different and has two fixing points...) is that really for the ee series? because i doesnt see until now a traction bar for the ee´s. (for example innovativemounts)

- whats about your gear box holder? :tongue:


anymore success,fun and good luck with your project.

think you must visit www.civicvtec.org when you search ee/ef drivers all over the world :wink:


greetings andre

2 questions

- i only see one fixing point. (the oem traction bar behind ed/ee is different and has two fixing points...)

There are 4 fixing points on one side, 3 screws go where the tow hook is and 1 goes where old traction bar was fixed

is that really for the ee series? because i doesnt see until now a traction bar for the ee´s. (for example innovativemounts)

I'ts just for ED chasiss (D seria engines) so for all chasiss that don't have B16A1 original in...


- whats about your gear box holder? :tongue:

I don't have it cause I have HASport mounts (D to B seria swap) and engine is just on three mounts (NO front mount)

ahh, okay,

looks like a good construction.

@Andree
all right. the innovative mounts traction bar is only for ED chassis. i asked them about one for our EE/EF chassis, but still didn't get any answer



this full race traction bar has the best design what you can get... the 4 mountings on each side prevent the bar of twisting and torsion. really great!
we also looked for something like this for your EE9, but as you can see, the import is pretty difficult for a private person.
so we saved some money and built one similar to the design of full race. as soon as i get a good welder, you will get such a traction bar, too :wink:

Thx :-)
Very nice !
I need this traction bar in the future for my ED Civic with b16 engine :-)

@richi:
the most important and most stressed part on traction bar is uniball or may I say it's mounting point (that hand that isa ttached to uniball and that screws into left and righ bars - 4pieces))...

you can "easily" do strong bars, yours is good example but then you must buy strong uniballs and those are quite expencive...

What I like at full race is their quote:

" Full Race Traction bars are CAD designed. They are engineered with a factor of safety (FOS) of 5, meaning they are 5 times stronger than they need to be. "

It's a shame that they don't do it for EE chasiss cause lot's of folks in EU would buy it without hesitation

thanks for all comments :-)

yes, the uniballs are important. we used M12 high-quality uniballs. left-hand thread one the rear side, and right-hand thread in the front so we can adjust the radius arms... these are made of 7075 aluminium and the front journal was aligned to the inner journal of the front lower control arm. as full-race explaines on their site, this aligned journal is very important for the traction of the wheel...
my brother is a bachelor of science and he simulatet our construction on the computer - we came out with a bent of 0,5mm in the middle of the traction bar with powers that work at full braking. i think that's ok :wink:
