I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

Where To Cut?

Post by JaySmith » May 27, 2005

Alright I've had my ALEX Rear Strut Bar sitting here for awhile now, and I'm getting tired of looking at it. :p And I'm sure someone on here has a Civic Hatchback (EK), and had to cut the holes for it. I'm hoping someone can guide me on where to cut, maybe post pictures too?

Tried, nobody has one. I was thinking maybe someone with the Mugen rear strut tower bar would have the instructions to scan, but no luck. :(

dude that simple...

1. measure where the bar will run through... (there's those raised bars and you'd have to cut the hole higher... or the spoon like bars that run straight from left to right which means the hole should be a little lower)

2. check how much will go through the interiour... just the bar, or also a little bit of the 'feet'

3. stick your indexfinger into your mouth, make it wet, put it into the air and feel where the wind is coming from... and start cutting away

it's not an exact science you know
