You guys have all seen the strut bar Alan (accordhybrid) has manufactured for the 5th gen Accords and I got mine installed today. I've only taken it out for a hard drive once but so far so good. I had a Neuspeed 4pt bar on before this one so the difference between the two isn't very noticeable just yet, but once I get to drive around on familiar roads where I know how my car is supposed to handle then I can get a better feel for it.

The installation isn't too difficult, it is a bit more involved than the Neuspeed since there are a few holes you have to drill into the firewall, but for those who are mechanically inclined, it's nothing. It looks awesome, fits snug and hopefully will make my boat handle a bit better than before. I will update this again after a week or so while I get a feel for it and test it out some more.

Props to accordhybrid for making the pimpin' bar, I'll holla!

Check the pics!!

 

Nice install. My only question is How does it clear an H22 being in the engine bay of an accord?? Oh on congrats man on the move and you know what I mean. I glad things are working out for you and your son.

 

yeah does it have enough clearence for the h22 if so let me know how much they are and how to bolt them to the firewall

 

i want one for a 4th gen.

 

3rd point always makes for a more productive attempt to reinforce the frame. It looks a lot better than I thought it was going to when he started producing them. good stuff.

very cool

 

IS that alan's Ugly ass toe on your battery?

 

Yes the bar does fit the H22. They are bolted to the firewall using 4 bolts. 2 of the bolts hold a supporting bracket behind the firewall and the other 2 go through the strut bar and through the firewall and thread into the bracket behind the firewall.

:rofl:

Yep, that's Alan's overgrown bunion. That fool thought he was on a damn jungle gym climbin' all over my car and ish.

 

It clears w/no problem. Alan has one on his car and he's got the H double:thumbup:

Thanks man, things are good so far. Yo, pm me w/your phone number so I can holla. Late.
