carbing bar installed with pics

well finally my carbing bar has arrived, sadly i'll have to wait till the weekend to put it on since i work night and i sleep mostly all day and it freakin went from 78 to 53 in 2 days here in texas so its kinda cold now. but friday i will def install the bar and inform everybody how that goes. here's some juicy pics so enjoy

and here's what suprised me is on the instructions it already mentions that it fits our cars thats kinda cool.




heres a pic of the bar installed with my DC5 22mm rear sway

i was looking at a topfuel or J's Racing rear tie bar but they wanted 110 - 150 for it so 87 bucks was a steal for me

i was lookin up the torque specs for the rear tie bar and i went on clubrsx and found a very detailed install with some good pics for those that want to install one later on
