Re: [GI] Aluminum Crossmember & Rear Tie Bar - SRD Reproduction

Post by fowljesse »

They came in on the 13th! I couldn't get them until today, though and I put them in :D
It would have gone really easily, however...
My car is too low for my drive up ramps, and I couldn't wait to put them on at Cjthor's tomorrow. So...
I backed the car onto the ramps, and discovered one of the bolts on Wytbishop's end links broke, and was gone. Probably my fault, though, because I adjusted them to have the driver's side lower, for corner balancing. I took a shot :shrug: Also, the Aluminum spacers all warped, so I made several trips to get a bolt, and steel tubing, and a new hacksaw blade to make steel spacers. I then realised I forgot to get a nut for the bolt. I was so sick of going to the hardware store, that I took a nut I had, and drilled, and tapped it to work :lol:
The rear tie bar went on easily. It took about 4 minutes to take the OEM one off, and put the new one on, and adjust it!
Since the car is too low for the ramps, I drove one front wheel (turned all the way out) onto a ramp, and crawled in the mud to replace the crossmember. That would have been a 4 minute job, too, otherwise.
Fitment was perfect. I don't remember what it looks like OEM, but on my car (no cat) the crossmember could be flat across side that bolts on. I'm a little concerned about how low it is. If possible, I'd buy one that is not raised (if you know what I mean).

Pics!

That's great to hear! Ya, I've heard that from a few people in the past that they'be gotten a bit scuffed up, but nothing major, and I don't think they're THAT much thicker than stock. That design also is what helps with it's rigidity. Also Luc seemed that he was HUGE into autocross, so I'm sure they been throughly tested byhim too.

I'll PM Jeff in the next day or two to get stuff rolling.

Also, let me know how it feels with them on.

Rear, painted "stealth":

It felt a little weird painting it, begause I l :love: ove shiny Aluminum, but I want my car to seem as stock as possible. I know that's funny now, but one day, I'll paint her, and she'll look stock. Anyway, I can buff it out whenever, if I choose.
The car is SOLID! These were the final touch for my setup, until I corner balance it.
I need to go to a parking lot on Sunday, and do my testing. I'm going to make a skidpad, and run the stock GS, and this one. All the turns I normally take, I know where the limit is, and now I go past it, and all the stuff in my car goes to the side, and I don't come close to losing traction. Keep in mind that I just also put on the Whiteline swaybar, and Wytbishop's endlinks.
Hopefully, there will be a video soon of me kicking asphalt!

G-force cannot be accurately calculated. It must be measured. Get an iPhone with the proper app. It has an accelerometer in it.
94' RS/GS/MS/CF Monster Turbo...coming soon.
93' GS SE, the Black Beast, the former love of my life...soon to be gutted and crushed.
94' GS, black on black, now in several small pieces...and one large crushed piece.

It also depends alot on temperature. Anything below 50-60F will be alot less than if it were 80. Don't expect your 30 degree tests to accurately represent how well the car sticks to the road! Not only the rubber contacting the pavement, but the struts change too, air pressure in tires change, etc.

a picture doesnt really help. i need to know how long it is, diameters, how big those flats are where they have SRD engraved. which thread is in the end so it can screw on. i really need to see one or someone give me dimensions off of one, who already has one.
