Easy question. Can I run a aftermarket front lower crossmember on my CRX in ITA and HCH4? Could not find any info about it other then its legal to modify for engine placement in H1.
I take it this may be another one of those "if its not mentioned you cant do it things?"

You just answered your own Question.

you cant run it in IT or HC

 

gotcha

 

Actually, if it matches the OE piece, you can run it in IT.

 

this reminds me, i gotta get working on a rules request....

 

What do you mean by matches OE piece? Nothing aftermarket looks close to OE. I already got a OEM crossmember for $20

 

You can use aftermarket parts as long as they are the same shape, weight, function, mouting etc.....the same.

What cross member did you get?

 

OEM front lower cross member from an 89 CRX Si. Same as my shell

Could some one give an example of an aftermarket that is allowed in competition? Like I said before all the ones I have seen seem to be totally different then the OEM peice. Is the innovative or Z10 legal? They seem to offer the motor mount option also.

"Aftermarket" that would be legal would be something you could pick up at a retail parts store, sort of how you can get "aftermarket" fenders and hoods, but they are essentially identical to the OEM pieces in every way. The Innovative and Z10 ones are completely different and not legal.
