Someone mentioned prior his experience with this issue on his ARC bar. He basically said that it was very difficult to adjust your dampening settings once the bar was installed. Since the Richie bar is the identical, it would probably have the same issue.

Even if I had to cut an inch off the bottom pipe and get a wider connection sleeve to move the MAF down ......there has to be a way!
I think that your determination will payoff!! (i really hope so as well ) Please keep us all posted on your progress.

the bar WILL fit. The only issue is that the bar sits right over your dampening adjustment ****, making it difficult to access.

Yes it is. If you take a look at the pictures in the first post, you will see that the mounting holes on the brackets are elongated vertically.

For those that have already sent deposits, please send the remaining balance and the bar will be shipped within a few days!!! Once again, please include your username in the notes section of the payment. Thanks!

I had a 97 accord with the neuspeed as well. But IMO the neuspeed tower bar made a huge difference in handling.

I just put in my order - I'll update once I test it out a bit.

Its not a huge difference, but its very subtle.

If you've ever had a strut bar on a previous car (I had 94 accord w/ neuspeed), its a very similar feeling. Once you've got it on your car, you can't really imagine not having it on.

Richie, when will you start shipping the next batch to buyers? I'm thinking to send it to powdercoat as soon as I receive it.

Thanks,
