Did anyone get a number for the weight of the parts removed yet?

I can dig the piece of metal I cut off out of the trash today and try to weigh it.

The piece I cut out was 1lb 14onces. Not sure if actually heavier then the bar or not, but all the room it frees up is great.

Thanks. I've been trying to find a weight on the front crash structure garbage that gets removed as well but am coming up empty handed. Removing the front end on my car is a pain in the ass...

matrussell122 04-09-2019 10:13 AM

Plastic piece with the two metal pieces that you take off are 12lb
Center cut out piece 1.9lb

Bar you bolt in the place is 5.5

Weight savings-8.4lb

Added myself to list. PM me with payment instructions.

Glad everyone is liking these! Is there anything else you guys want to see made? Been thinking of making on for the rear as well if there is any interest in it.

mrmonk7663 04-11-2019 04:26 PM

Affordable Tubular subframe :)

Arca_ex 04-12-2019 01:53 AM

If there is weight savings to be had in the rear like there is in the front, then I'd be interested.

matrussell122 04-16-2019 06:49 PM

All bars have been shipped! If you made an order it is in the mail and I'll send your tacking as soon as I get to a computer!

I got mine, thanks. Going to install as soon as I get around to ripping front end apart and installing new version of my light kit

Balto 04-18-2019 05:18 AM

Yo put me down for one of these please.

blackandblown 04-18-2019 10:08 AM

I'd like one of the blem plates please.

I'd definitely be interested in a rear bar too! Thanks!

DooChess 04-18-2019 11:34 AM

In for blem, if available first. New, second.

matrussell122 04-19-2019 11:40 AM

I have one more left that I can ship today for the usual $150 price for whoever wants one. Starting next week i will have to raise the prices $25 to cover shipping costs. I had a nice deal set up to get free shipping but that is no longer available to me.

soot 04-19-2019 01:06 PM

Please count me in for that last $150!

matrussell122 04-19-2019 03:06 PM

Good news for everyone interested in these bars. We have our own shipping account setup so that should streamline the shipping and ordering process. Also rear bars are in the development stages so if you guys have input on what you want to see I am all ears. Currently we can go one of three ways. Either a lightweight option like the front or a beefy but heavier option that can be used as a jack point in the rear, or lightweight rear bar with a separate jacking point not attached to the bar.

Arca_ex 04-19-2019 04:49 PM

Lightweight, no jacking point, just like the front bar. Preferably as close to the bumper skin as possible for bump drafting.

Deckard 04-20-2019 01:51 PM

I'd go with lightweight, jacking point is not that important. My vehicle is strictly street and I jack from the rockers. Maybe a jack point on this would be beneficial, but as I don't have a front jack point with the front bar, I guess it doesn't buy me much on the rear.

mrmonk7663 04-20-2019 04:52 PM

I’d say offer both versions, lightweight and jacking version. The jacking bars in the market have done well.

matrussell122 04-25-2019 10:45 AM

All orders are caught up and shipping today. I have one more bar available that I am able to ship today when i go to UPS if anyone else is interested.

matrussell122 05-07-2019 12:22 PM

I have one bar left before i need to order more materials. Can ship it out today for whoever wants it!

FrankB 05-12-2019 01:27 PM

I'll take it if its still available

shuiend 05-12-2019 06:54 PM

I was pimping out these bars at the KMiata meet at Gingerman yesterday. Told probably a dozen people to go buy them.

matrussell122 05-12-2019 07:11 PM

Awesome! Thanks for spreading the word!

I'll be making the jig for rear bars tomorrow so that should that progressing pretty quick from here.

Arca_ex 05-12-2019 09:22 PM

Nice. Put me on the list for a rear bar if it is minimalist and lightweight like the front one.

matrussell122 05-22-2019 02:29 PM

Getting the rear bar design finished up and need to get an idea of who would want one. There will be different designs for NA/NB fitment. The NB fitment will follow behind the NA bars a few weeks for more design work. If you are interested in a bar copy and add your name to the list below.

So here is where we are at on the rear bars. Weight is just under 9lbs and will support the bumper. Going to build a test one to make sure everything works out then ill order up a bunch more material.

https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...a83d8581d5.jpg

Would it be possible to get a jacking spot for this support? Or will it not be able to hold the weight of the car?

matrussell122 05-30-2019 12:24 AM

Not an integral one but I could make a few pretty quick if there were 5 or 10 people that wanted one.

Stealth97 05-31-2019 01:18 PM

Looks dope. I would be interested but IDK what I'm going to do with back bumper yet.

Now that I look back on the thread a bit I found the in depth convo about if we wanted to add the jacking spot.
I’ll take one of these bumpers without the jacking spot, if people get on board with a jacking spot I’d rather have that!

So to give you guys all an update this is where we stand with the rear bar. Design is pretty finalized and have done CAD to Cardboard Cad and now back to CAD. Going to cut the first one in metal tomorrow morning and if it all fits should have bars by next week hopefully!

Nihilist 06-06-2019 07:54 PM

Might be a stupid question, but I'll ask anyways. What the purpose of the rear bar, weight savings, safety, mounting points for a 2nd turbo? Also how long do you plan to keep selling these I am very interested but should be buying stuff to make my car run better before frame stuff (dam you responsible spending).

matrussell122 06-06-2019 08:55 PM

Rear is mostly weight and is probably stronger. You could also do a multiple turbo mount back there. It also adds 20 hp.

So been getting a lot of PM's about rear bar pricing and figured it would be better to answer it in a post here so everyone can see. As of now i have the prototype pieces cut and am going to mock them up and weld them this weekend. Once the prototype is done and verified ill send parts out to waterjet and once they are cut I will be able to give a price for the rear bars. But until then price is TBD by next week.

Fitment is confirmed and will send drawings to get made Monday!

pics of the prototype bar minus some gussets.

Note: this bar is ugly as shit and just thrown together to verify fitment. The production bars will be much better looking.

Got you added to the list. Got all my drawings sent out for some quotes today so whoever gets back with the lowest bid will be the winner and the price for the rear bar can be determined. Things should be pretty smooth sailing from here.

Weights
New Bar 5 lbs
Rear Bumper Structure 7.5 lbs
Rear bumper mount w/ not modified plastic 4.5 lbs
Rear Modified plastic removed 1.5 lbs

net weight loss 4

matrussell122 06-11-2019 11:14 AM

Well you guys waited and here it is. This will gain the best weight gain i could come up with. It will use the OEM top bar and part of the oem plastic pieces for mounting then the rest is removed and this is bolted up in its place. Pricing should be right about 200 with shipping.
