If you remove the rubber centre rubber from the bars these a track for "T" bars
What cycle carriers you using?
Here's an example of the T track system

If you check the instruction manual at the bottom of page 4 shows the T track kits, the oem bars are 20mm so you need kit 889-2  :happy2:

Got my hands on some 15mm spacers for the rear yesterday so fitted them.
Running with standard 17" Monza wheels and tires, lowered on JOM coilovers but just the springs in the rear. No bumpstops.

Up to no it sits just right I think in my eyes, no rubbing.

Pictures to follow

Fitted a Nuespeed induction kit today. Got it 2nd hand but cleaned the filter out with some cleaner and re-oiled.

Gives of a nice 'whoosh' sound when the turbo starts to kick in but am thinking a diverter valve and a DV+ next

Induction kit fitted and added filter sock from my brother old air filter from his civic.


Also been to TPS today after work to pick up a Revision G and a R Line breather plate. Going to hopefully fit them later on tonight if the weather holds out

Fitted the new revision pipe etc and now getting a slight 'blowing over a bottle lid' / 'whistle' noise.
I have read it's because of the open air filter induction kit.

Anyone got any more feedback on this?
