EF Civic Hatch/Sedan Rear Bar

Doryoku Race Bar’s philosophy of use & design

We designed this to be the best value bar on the market when it comes to weight, construction, design, add on options, price and total value. All bars are designed by scanning the OEM bumper bar/foam/support so that we can ensure the best fit and follow the existing shape. The race bar is intended to provide many performance benefits for track car applications (drag /road race) while allowing the user to customize the bar as they grow in the sport.

Custom Options

☆ Extended dual tow hooks

Dual hooks can be faced outward and would require a 1/4" wide slit in the bumper for hooks to slide through OR faced down if your lower bumper valance is cut off. These hooks would make it easy for tiedown transport on trailer or dyno. They do extend past the bumper cover by approx 1.75" if you face them outward. Consulting will be provided before fab.

☆ Hidden Universal tow strap bracket

This welded bracket allows for universal tow straps to be bolted on. You will need to make a horizontal slit in the bumper cover for the strap to pull through. Consulting will be provided before fab. Check out the Doryoku Bolt-on Tow Strap

 

☆ Recessed CNC M12 tow bung

Welded CNC M12 bung allows for thread in style tow strap which is common on modern cars such as S2000, FRS BRZ, BMW, Corvette, Porsche, VW Audi sports cars. We can place this anywhere on the bar (passenger, driver, center). I recommend this on the passenger side away from the exhaust. For the stealth option, you can place it in the license plate cavity where it's already open access (see pic). You would then remove the plate when on track or drill hole through the plate to access the M12. Please specify in the "Special Instructions"  Check out the  Doryoku Billet Tow Strap 

☆Matte black over Zinc

Zinc plating is ideal for open-tube style parts where powder coating may not be able to reach into inner cavities. Powder coating can be applied on top of zinc plating.

NOTE : Front bar will includes zinc yellow OR matte black but REAR bar includes zinc.

☆ Custom powder coating

We stock over 35 popular colors. Powders are available in wrinkle, matte & gloss. If you select "Powder Coat - Custom", please note a few colors you would like and we will reach out to you to confirm & provide color samples.

 

 

Engineering Design Notes

☆ In order to keep a tight cover to bar clearance, we crafted a bar with quad bends in order to bypass recessed license plate cavity. 

 

☆ The Civic hatch & sedan bumper cover is shallow and does not provide much distance to the rear bulkhead. Rather than using steel tube and plate, we designed a steel box to help absorb impact. The boxed base is made of 10GA steel plate, laser cut and CNC bent/formed and TIG welded.

☆ OEM bumper bracket bolts on TOP of the tubular bar.  

☆ The 2 lower bumper fasteners are no longer required. The bumper is fasted to the bar with 3 M6 bolts and fasten to the chassis with 4 screws on the quarter panel bracket
