Some people have been asking me for more info on my crossmember. This was actually one of the harder parts of the swap. Stock CM doesn't even come close to fitting and i doubt very much that the z10 or jimfab bars work with the H22A swap. At full lock the tires rub just a bit - i could have eliminated this but it was much easier (and more rigid) to have the adjusters go right up agaist the 'tow hook' part. you'll see what i'm talking about in the following pictures..
Rob (sircrxracer) called me a ricer for painting my axles blue... Anyway.. thats a RH thread 5/8 rod end with a sleeve hammered into it so that the bolt going into the control arm fits prefectly snug. I used 1" DOM pipe with 1/4" wall - ain't gonna break/flex or shear threads. I have an extra 2.5 feet of this pipe that i keep under my bed. the rest of the crossmember was made from thinner walled pipe. DOM 1/4" wall would be way extreem for the rest of the CM.

I used "Adjusters" available from "Hortons Street Rod Products" (below) they use these on the 4 link setups for v8's that they sell... $18 each and $6 each for the bushing kits - this is really nice stuff for the price(canadian)!!!! they charged me $38 for each pipe to cut and thread (LH on one end RH on the other for easy adjustability). Crossmember are really cheap if you know where to look and know how to fab. $124 + rodends and metal... ~300 (CAN).
As you can see, not only is the crossmember tied into the tow hooks but also into one of the bolts of the original crossmember location. I'm very though on my car at the track so i wanted this to be rigid.
Top view - The reason why that ground wire is burned is because we held a torch to the grounding (whatever thats called) and poured soilder into it. Neat little trick my friend showed me i should clean that up some time with some heat shrink So don't ask about the red wire.
This is the inside view.
