here are some pics of my crossmember i just got. let me know if anyone wants me take any pics from different angles.






and finally a pic of my car with a lot of leaves on it.

 

Is that bracket for the front Motor Mount?

 

Ooooohhh!! Yours is black!! thats nice!! Wish mine was...

I didn't get my front mount bracket to line up with my B-series and HCP kit.

Anybody get it to work?

 

Looks good. is your car going to be a daily driver?

 

yes it will be my daily driver. i think i am going to cut the front mount bracket off because i have a hasport mount kit.

 

looks like someone was reading the disclaimer.


internet ay: look good dude. How's the project coming along?

can you get a picture of how it bolts to the control arm.

 

heres some more pics of the mounting points

 

Looks good man...

 

wow thats a nice looking billet insert

j/k

 

cool stuff now it really makes me wanna get one

 

How much did you pay?

i wonder how it would affect the daily driving/street use

 

Would it be hard to do this install with the motor in the car already? I'm sure it was much easier for you with the open engine bay, but is this a hard install?

 

350 shipped. and i dont think it would be too hard with the motor in, if you have the hasport kit it would be simple. i took me like 15 min to install. with air tools of course.

 

you're missing something.

and, what's that bar attached to the control arms? GET RID OF IT! You don't need it!

 

looks nice, still waiting for my Place Racing Xmember

 

I know it says for b-series swaps.. is there anyway to get it to work with a d-series engine? i'm going to be running a build turbo ZC(had the engine for like 3 years, so I might as well use it).. anyone know? Thanks..

 

just wondering if you can adjust preload with the Jimfab like you can with the Z10 crossmember. it looks like you can from the pic.

 

theres no need to remove it, just dont attach a mount, it completely clears D and B series motors, i just left mine as is. I got a gray powder coated one, its niiiice. strong'r 'n' ****. I know cuz i broke it it saved the control arms from breakin though. its awsome.

As for "engine out of car" ITS GOT NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ENGINE!!
1. detatch the front motor mount from your D series stock engine.
2. loosen/detatch your radius arms
3. unbolt the crossmember, drop it down.
You're under the car no matter what, the engine NEVER gets in your way.
4. attach crossmember, attach radius arms and adjust accordingly.
with the radius arms, you're alignments going to be FUCKED, unless you know how to align it yourself.

How to align it yourself? (toe in/out)
take a bar, straight, metal. as long as the wheel base of your CRX.
Place it against the front (forward most point) of the front wheels. (yeah you'll need 2 guys to hold it perfectly steady)
Make marks on the bar where the center of the tire is.
(use a certain straight treadline on the tire to match on the other side)
Now match this to the back (most rear point) of the same tire.
Adjust the radius arms until these 2 points match.

You can also use string. Thats what i did.


Yager-

 

you can, but you have to remove the wheel, remove the two bolts holding it to the control arm, twist the bar, then reinstall.

not nearly as convenient as the Z10s.


I'm confused...how does this affect toe in/out.

I thought toe was adjusted using the steering tie rods. The radius rods would affect toe, but very very very slightly...they seem to affect caster more than anything.

 

which bar?

 

rick the project is coming along nice except for the fact that i cant find a y1 so i can put the motor in the car.

 

so your not suppose to use it on a street/daily driven car? if not then why?
