just threw on a couple of things on my car.

the sedan radiator cover shown here on the altezza grill and bumper.


and the "performance rod" here...


here's what it is:


if you want more info on this bar... search in the suspension forum for: "oem part" there's a detailed thread about it there.

#10 is for auto
#11 (what I got) is for manuals

most 2001 Civics dont have this bar. some 2001 Civics have a 2nd hole drilled for the bar, consider yourself lucky and grab this bolt on bar.

all 2002+ Civics EXCEPT DX has this bar. DX owner, grab it.

If you want one, contact Greg @ www.hondawerx.com or ur local honda dealer... remember, if you want more info search for the other thread. Grey has already installed it on his car and drilled a 2nd hole for it.

see, I dont have a 2nd hole. I gotta drill my *** off (err... *cough*)


here's the rod across the engine bay... highlighted it and brighten it more so you can see it...


thats all for now. back to sleep I go.

i seperated the post. (bar in suspension) and radiator cover in tech

I thought I should have one here so the new guys can know about the parts and grab it.

i guess I should have just have them all in here. instead of seperating the posts..

oh well, the mods can delete it if they feel fit.

just a dumb question... what does the frame bar do? is it like a tie bar?

 
Rep Power: 368

yeah I guess its a tie bar of a sort.

its listed as "performance rod" on majestic honda's parts list...

it wasn't in the 01s... honda decided to slap it on the 02s... its also on the RSX... i can imagine its meant to stiffen up the front frame a bit more.. and Grey noticed a reduce in wheel hop.

I just drove around today.. no difference that I can notice though.
