Yeah I autocross, Id like to see the effect of the XXX on my setup. Right now I have that TTR bar that you hate lol

 

I just put my pedders on last Saturday and I am waiting on OTTP to send me their new XXX bar (it was made by powell before, but they are making their own now...). I got this setup for AutoX, but the car is also a DD as well.

So for someone that has that bar and pedders (or something to that nature), is it really NOT street drivable? I would think it would really stiffen up the back, but not so much that daily driving you are risking crashing your car... Forgive me if I am not understanding what you guys are trying to say.

 

The pos warped on me after like 3 months........

 

Have you driven with hardcore bar yet??? If not you are not ready for the xxx bar. Keep the stock bar or smaller bar for street driving. One wrong move in the rain and your asking for trouble. I also recommend buyingthe bar from powell directly

 

I am retarded, I thought we were talking about the hardcore bar. I have not gotten it yet, but that is what I order (1.25 not 1.5).

 

really looking forward to the reviews on this. I think I'm gonna hold off on ordering until the end of the season, anything I order now is just gonna cut into my track time budget. I take it Powell is still waiting on powder coating?

 

im holding off until i bike up my custom konis at the end of the season and another set of wheels with slicks for the xxx bar but its been ordered. i have the hardcore bar for the street and when im on street tires.

 

Scott you could use it. I got lots of them, shipping daily lol. And as far as overkill yes I agree, for the street and for inexperienced drivers for sure.

But time attack used a 1.75 welded in tube bar + a 1.25 bolt on. SO: If you run stock weld in and 1.5 add on, for sure it is not too much for the track. News to me that anyone is copying my stuff...

 

never fails...you the man....they are all copying your stuff because they cant do r and d on their own.

 

I'm on the hardcore bar and STILL running 10psi higher rear to get the car to rotate next time I have the car out I may go higher and I don't really wanna mess with the shocks for rear stiffness.

I may have to just skip one track day this year and get the new bar, seeming more like a necessity for me

I know a few of these have shipped, any reviews/thoughts yet??

 

not many people are going to get these and if they do they wont have the kind of review you are looking for. i wont be running this unless im on slicks.

 

just an idea of how much stiffer from someone who has made the switch from the hardcore bar. Ya, that's the part that will be no fun having to pull it every time I throw the all seasons on.

 

its not a bad install and removal at all..... i mean every time im off the slicks ill have to pull it....no difference there. i mean its going to be a stiff bar. i think the georgian bay cars ran a 1.75" built in bar and a 1" add on bar

 

OTTP are advertising the Hardcore bar "designed and built by Powell" on their site. I ordered one thinking it was from Powell but was later told buy Josh that they now make the bar. I've asked to cancel my order as I've been waiting since Feb 15th. As of today no answer but it's only been three days since I asked

 

yes powell is no longer making ANY parts for ottp. you need to order through him directly.

 

I drove with it at Nelson Ledges last week. Car is unreal. I dont drive in the rain .

 

on the 1.5" bar?
