Would i be alright daily driving my 250+whp EF Hatch on the street with no crossmember/radious rods for a little while?
what will be affected besides more traction issues than im already expecting.

Im just trying to find a crossmember for my dual core half length radiator to fit in there as well as my turbo set-up, but i want to put it off for a bit to finish the rest of the project sooner...
no biggie really...but every time theres a nice day out i wish i was in my good car

 

Think about it. The crossmember provides the lateral and torsional stiffness for the front clip. Not having some sort of bracing between the suspension and the subframe is a disaster waiting to happen.

 

I dont think that is a good idea

 

sure try it out...ill "Die-Laughing" when you crash your car...

 

dont do it, wait until you get it right, youll be really pissed if you spent all this time building the car, only to wreck it, or have somethign **** up, because you just wanted to drive your car instead of waiting a week.

 

omg, do you want to kill yourself or something? What happens when you go out of control and get in an accident and kill someone else?

Smart move there bud.

Werd

 

You will die, not a very bright move, i would not try this.

 

not so much the crossmember, but the radius rods are what contrain the front back movement of your suspension, basically caster. NOT having it, basically your suspension is completely free to move around. itll drive like crap and probably bend stuff. not a great idea bud...

well said.

the radius rods keep the wheels from moving front to back.. ide LOVE to see a movie of a EF with no crossmember.. lol

 

It may end up looking like this when done

 

One of my radius rod's snapped one time and I had to drive it to work to weld it back up *aftermarket traction bar system* and let me tell you it was not fun, hard as hell to drive. You would not last more than 3 minutes with BOTH missing.

 

hahaha.. thats just funny thinking about it.

But yea, the first thing that came to my mind was the lack of radius rods...NO GOOD.

Please dont do it, i would rather give you my stock crossmember than see you throw your wheels through your fenders.

 

No Crossmember &gt; you

Not too bad, nothing I couldent bend back lol.

Scary when it snapped at 60mph though.

 

sounds like a bad idea to me
