Default chromoly subframe?

I've heard of people using a chromoly subframe for 92 civics.

How much weight does it save? where can I get one?

I emailed a51sales@area51fab.com yesterday, I guess I shouldent expect them to respond right away but I'm trying to find out if they are still available before I look into getting one built.

Is that the correct email address? It was redirected front the address on their website. anybody in contact with area51?

i dont know why they are illegal for competetion, i just like to call the nhra all the time and ask questions before i do anything and i was told on 2 seperate occasions that they were not allowed.

as far as the weight issue im pretty sure you can shave 50 or so lbs. off the car with such a piece made out of chromoly.

shant, personally i wouldnt worry if it was illegal or legal. u race in canada and unless ur circuit up there follows NHRA rules specifically i say find one and buy it. let us know for sure if and/when u find one. im interested in some pics of this thing. as i said in an earlier post, i had no clue there was one in existence until u made this thread.

no weight penalty will accure if you use this why? because you do not alter any suspension changes just different materials
