Very interesting. Thanks for doing that.

 

Also keep in mind many bars are made from different stock. The quality and type of metal will also change the % so expect the numbers can be off a bit.

 

booyahkahshah...check-eh. in's a few weeks, mah main man, em-pee-foive, will no longer bee's understeering off the course in the (looking down on mah piece of pay-puh)....ray...sing...beat...sway...bah. licky licky...he'd be rollin'...or should i's say andee-rollin' in a pimp new chromoly bitch from straight out of san dee egg oh. respeck. west side.

 

the rb does give u a push but the moment u burp the gas it will correct to oversteer

 

but this is with both front and rear bar but im a guy who like a little understeet more then over steer

 

You might get some power on oversteer in a Viper or Vette, in an RX8 you are a good 100hp short of pulling off that trick.

Unless it rains.

 

So who is going to be the first to try it out?

 

I must be old. I don't understand a word.

 

MTV and the youth of today, these people will run the country one day

I never knew there was an actual written language for that jibberish, i stand corrected, and amazed, all at once.

I have to hope it is a joke on the part of one of the regulars, I have to hope, otherwise...

 

I understood every word, but he's my friend (hate to admit it) so I'm sorta used to it.

 

It says something about MP5 taking off his Racing Beat sway bar.

 

Guess I need to put my money where my mouth is. Bar is on order.

 

 

it's been tried, they got them from the same guy who ripped me off, not only did the SOB mother f-cker take me for several thousand dollars and not deliver, he tried to give away my initial design away to a competitor before filling my order, that sorry b-stard

It's better than the RB bar but still not right, they f'd up the hole positions and I've since revised the stiffness. I have several sitting here at the house that the fabricator tried to pawn off on me. When I informed him they weren't right is when the whole deal went sour, there' a reason they're on sale and won't be any more when they're gone.

if anybody wants one I'll let you have it for the cost of boxing and shipping, they're raw metal though, not finished, it's of no use to me ...

 

That sucks. Does not matter what level it is at... Motorsports parts always seems to have the worst service.

 

How far are the holes off, and what it the actual stiffness like? I might be interested in a free bar...

 

Well I just recieved the AP bar today. I'd already ordered it before I found out about it's pedigree. Anyway, it's just like TeamRX8 said.

1) Bar is painted not powder coated as advertised.
2) Endlink holes don't line up and are unevenly spaced. Looks like something my 9 year old would do with a hand drill.
3) The holes are sized for the RB endlinks. Stock endlinks won't work.

I'll probably keep it since like Mark said, it's better than nothing; but definitely recommend that no one else follow suit. Wait until the real TeamRX8 bar comes out. I'll be throwing this one in the trash as soon as I can get a real one.

 

To bad. Looked like it might have filled that gap.

 

yep, ignore TeamRX8 to the very end ...
