We feel that if Mazda could have forseen the levels of performance that people would be achieving with the FD, that they would have included a Transmission Crossmember in their original design.

We have developed the Banzai Racing Transmission Crossmember for both street and track use to support of the PPF and transmission. Installation drastically reduces shifter movement, allowing for more precise and predictable shifting. It helps to prevent cracking of the PPF by reducing transmission tailshaft movement and prolongs motor mount life. Our Crossmember achieves this without the vibration associated with a solid mounted brace.

The upper and lower Crossmember's sections are laser cut from 1/4" steel plate, the Tunnel Brace is then press brake formed and both are E-Coated black to prevent corrosion. The Tunnel Brace is a one piece design so there are no welds to crack or fail. We have also included mounting hole locations for the aluminum undertray.

We have utilized Energy Suspensions patented interlocking mount which very effectively controls torque and is made with Energy's special formula HYPER-FLEX™ performance polyurethane material to assure long-lasting performance.



We have the Crossmembers in stock and available on our website for $225.00, so no group buy necessary http://www.banzai-racing.com/store/FD_Trans_CM.html

Installation instructions
Now for some pics:

 

Love it. Planned on buying a trans brace shortly but I am glad I procrastinated. Only problem is that I have to rethread one of the bolt holes on the body as the threads decided to literally shear off the car in one odd chunck rather than simply strip out.

 

Im getting one

 

^ The crossmembers are in stock and we have them at an introductory price for the month of Feb.

 

Got one on order!

 

so whats the difference between the trans brace and this?

 

The trans brace solid mounts the trans to the car.

 

Just ordered mine

 

Just ordered one off your website! Nice work. Looking forward to testing this out. It's refreshing to know people are still engineering parts for the 20 year old FD!

 

It will ship out today.

 

I have 3 or 4 Banzai Products on my car and without a doubt completely top notch products and people. If I had to decide who has better Customer Service, Banzai or Ray, I'd probably go crazy! Certainly a gold standard for our cars!

 

im gonna be ordering this soon, probably next week. my tranny moves too much. and I replaced new PPF and solid diff mounts too. cant wait to get this in my car.

 

Great seller. Super fast shipping. I just installed it. Great fitment only issue I had was my PPF was out of alignment so I had to adjust to get the bracket holes to line up. Car feels more solid when driving.

 

Installed last week. I no longer have that pesky 2nd to 3rd gear shifting problem. Also way less shifter movement while driving. Overall a great product.

 

so i´m intrested in ur stuff ...i need to do some thing about my oil leeking and be willing to get some goodis for my seven.
I will stiffer all the riggid areas ...the oil pan, the trans and the diff.
Can u give me an offer of all the stuff i need..
thx and best regards Ray

P.S. and be gentle with me i´m from germany and me english isnt good and my money sit´nt verry loose on my poket...;-)

 

I've got one installed on my car and will be looking forward to seeing the improvement. Elaine and Chris and GREAT to work with and CARE about their customers. AAA +++ all the way.

 

So this is used with the ppf? Not by itself?

 

Correct

 

Looks good. I'll be getting one of these at some point

 

Just ordered one. This combined with the 2 in 1 diff cradle should keep everything rock solid.

 

Don't know about that part but combined with the Banzai Diff brace makes everything perfect on my 20B Differential Brace

 

quality.

 

I just installed mine. There's less rocking of the gear lever and no noticeable added vibrations. A must have.

 

i want one of these... couldn't remember where I saw it for sale! But i'll have to order one up here in a few weeks

 

We have them in stock
