Very nice indeed! I remember the first post when you got this car, at least I think it was you.

yes it was me.

got my spray gun on order, still trying to figure out what color to do it, but it only made 185 flywheel hp/ 145lb./ft after mapping, mainly because the cams duration and lift are to short, also that ebay 2 inch nasty *** header are really holding back the numbers. its a TDM header btw, i jsut had the extra o2 bosses welded in and had the slip connection welded also. (they always leak lol)

CTR cams are sat here on my desk, shooting for 190-200whp with a good mid range.

just need her finished before the end of august as its the biggest crx owners meet here in the uk.

I guess I will be the first to ask:

Why not get an aftermarket crossmember? Several good options out there.

that cut in the crossmember looks like and accident waiting to happen
Make sure you weld in some good reinforcements to that crossmember I have heard of plenty of notched crossmembers folded/snapping.

and regaurding aftermarket traction bars, maybe nobody makes them, but couldn't there be somebody that stocks/sell them near you?

SiR crossmember is different to the Si crossmember, different mounting locations

the ETD might wokr as it bolts to the front tow hooks are the same but rumours of different radius arm angles and lengths are enough to put anyone off buying one to find out
