Doryoku Race Bar’s philosophy of use

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

These welded hooks can be used for easy access tie-down for transport. This eliminates the need to go under the car which interferes with splitters, lips. The dual hooks also have an M8 hole which are used for mounting splitter support rods. Note: very minimal trimming to the bumper is required. Trimming is not visible from the outside.

☆ 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. This can be placed anywhere on the bar, driver, passenger or center. Consulting will be provided before fab.

☆ 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). Consulting will be provided before fab.

☆ Dual M8 threaded mounting pucks

M8 pucks make it easy to bolt on FMIC, oil coolers, ducting plate, light bar & splitter support rods. We offer 1" and 3" long M8 pucks. See gallery. M8 pucks are placed on the bar based on your setup. Consulting will be provided before fab.

☆ Custom powder coating

I stock over 35 popular colors. Powder finish are available in wrinkle, matte & gloss. Please note in "Special Instructions" what color you would like.

Engineering Design Notes

☆ Bumper specific fitment

We do offer 2 bars specific to the 94-97 and 98-01 bumpers. These bars are similar with minor differences to ensure the tightest figment.

☆ Maximum protection

Roll cage spec tube is used to protect everything behind the bar. We also want the maximum distance from the bar to the vitals of the car (engine). Think of a roll cage door bar where the old school design was a straight bar less than inch away from the driver's body compared to a smarter design door bar that kicks out from the B pillar towards the door-skin then curves back into the A pillar giving the driver much more space and protection from an impact. We use this same approach in our bumper bars. The bar allows for bump drafting / W2W contact. Our bars are proven by W2W racers in Gridlife GLTC, NASA, SCCA, Champcar Endurance Series. See Eric's video.

☆ Maximum air flow

In force induction application, more room behind bar allows you to run larger FMIC, place FMIC further away from radiator core provides more air flow/speed as it passes through FMIC rather than having air flow slow down due to having FMIC & radiator stacked up behind one another.

☆ Maximum structural rigidity

A strong tubular bumper bar adds chassis rigidity to the radiator core support. The weakest link of the front end is the radiator core support. It comprises thin stamp steel with huge opening compared to firewall that is closed off, fender frames that are much thicker steel. See crash test results from our Enduro TSX.

FAQ

Q: How much weight is saved over stock?

A: 7.5 lbs (50%) weight savings. It's not so much about how much weight is removed, what's more important in any track car is "where" the weight is removed. Anytime you can remove weight from areas beyond the wheel it improves the car's natural balance & gives you the control to strategically add weight back in where it's most beneficial for your setup or race series. Check out this video from Ben as he talks about weight reduction & distribution.

Gears & Gasoline - Why where weight reduction matters

Q: Can I fit an “ABC” tucked radiator and “ABC” FMIC?

A: Many customers can easily fit a tucked radiator and up to 8” thick FMIC. Unless your turbo setup has a giant FMIC that cannot fit behind the stock bumper cover & 1 piece front end, chances are this bar will fit.

Q: Will the bumper still fit like stock?

A: We designed the bar to have a tight fit by placing it close to the upper portion of the bumper grill. When installing the bumper skin, you’ll notice the bar creating a slight upward pull. The mounting endplates will also have a small slot for 1/4" adjustment based on how much tension you want on the bumper cover to the track bar.

Q: Does this bar fit on a coupe & sedan?

A: This bar fits all USDM 94-01 Acura Integra models because the OEM foam and beam parts are interchangeable. I offer 2 different profile bars for 94-97 and 98-01 USDM DC2. You will need to specify which year bumper you are using.

Q: What are the benefits of zinc plating?

A: Zinc finish is a thin protection barrier which makes it very easy to primer paint or powder coat over. It's also easy to prep for additional welding if you decide to add additional parts to the bar. Powder coating is thicker but less friendly for future modifications such as painting or welding.

Q: How do you mount splitter support rods on to your bar?

A: There are 2 methods, tow hooks with built in M8 hole or welded M8 pucks. Scroll through photos to see M8 puck with splitter rod.

We recommend Professional Awesome universal splitter/aero support rods which can be used on either option of our bar. See link and youtube video within the link
