    Re: Traction Bar / Crossmember

    sweet setup only when you biuld me mine can you offset the crossmember to the front of the car more creating a larger gap for downpipe clearances. i can have longer and larger radius rods made to work with the longer stroke. It looks good. Ive been chating with the company from auburn about them trying to make us a kit. If you decide to start order let me know, i jst need a rough weld and mount, Ill paint. Looks great tommy

    Re: Traction Bar / Crossmember

    I wonder how eliminating the rubber bushings is going to affect the stress of the entire subframe, including vibration levels. Also, how did you set the angle/spacing/positioning of your brackets for the radius rods? Their position affects the position of the front wheel, as well as caster and a variety of other things.

    His head would have seperated from the block and gone through the hood, the bottom end would have gone through the firewall.

    I am curious about this also. I would have built one of these already, but I ran out of money for my turbosystem, so my car is still n/a right now, and my header just barely clears my oem crossmember..but I kinda doubt my downpipe will.

    I wasn't talking about he cost of building the crossmember, i just meant that I didn't need to build it yet because I ran out of money for my tubo setup, which would need the crossmember for clearance..but what I wanted to know was how you aligned the pieces that hold the radius arms, I have a few ideas on that, but I'm still curious how you did it.

    p.s. nice 2girls1cup.com reference in the sig..I remember when I saw that shit, my friend warned me, but still..uugghh, I just kept telling myself, dude that Has to be done on a computer or something, that shit can't be real..wtf!

    I believe he's referring to the two girls one cup shit. I hope it was fake as well, but being a regular visitor to both 7chan and 711chan I suspect it was not. Oh yeah, and forget that I broke rules 1 and 2 just now.
