Dc5 Rear Intrusion Bar

[maracer]

Hi Guy's,

Come across something very interesting yesterday.
My car is at U Panel, Getting the finishing touches done.
When Stephen told me why my car, DC5 Type S 2006 hasn't got the rear INTRUSION BAR on it?
WTF!
I'm the first owner, The car has never been in an accident.
So i ring up Honda spare parts and ask for the part i'm missing!
The reply was,
That year model car does not come with it,
FARK!
So i ask him to look up DC5 Type R 02 - 04, Yes this car comes with INTRUSION BAR.
FARK!
Does this not seem strange, I asked. Reply was " I know the Jazz does not have the REAR INTRUSION BAR either"
So has anybody else come across this?


DC5 Type R 02 - 04


DC5 Type S 05 - 06


Thanks to monty and whtdc2 for pictures.

Although.....why the hell not?

Mario.....this is a RSX Type-S. Not sure if it would be the same as our AUDM type-s but they seem to have the intrusion bar.

Can someone double check on their type-s????

[maracer]

Personally, it all seems a bit sus to me.
It would be good if someone was able to check.

Your right mate.

Doesn't make sense. The safety equipment increased on the Type-S over the R so why would something like this be removed? I vaguely remember seeing one on mine but I am not 100% sure.

Have you tried calling another dealer?

[Didz]

Thats weird, what safety rating was the type s and r?

[maracer]

If i get the chance in the next few days, I'll pop into the Dealership.

Not sure of the Safety Rating on the cars.

maybe they wanted to offset the weight-gain from the sunroof?

[bungsai]

im sure Honda would have re-engineered the rear crumple zone to account for this. Car gonna be HOTTTT

That's exactly what Wayne and I did last night at the dinner meet.
Thanks to Vanessa, For coming along as we scrutineered her Type S........
