RX3 Crossmember update :)
 
6 Attachment(s)
Well just wanted to let you guys know that our RX3 cross members are now fully TIG welded for extra strength and more lightness :) This one is the first one of many to come! This particular one is going to a lucky Joseph Wanamaker from California. If you're on this forum Joseph don't be shy to come and comment!

We should just offer them in a clear coat powder coat now instead of any other colors. Its a shame to hide all those beautiful welds!

^^. Ditto. Guys, we need to show interest in the OG strut tower brace RESPEED used to offer. Homie said if we did he would re make them and we can Group Buy it. STRUT TOWER BRACE.

Very nice, very nice!

My GLC shares tons of front suspension with the rx3...would this crossmember work as well??? Mine is a '78 btw. Thanx!

dj55b 05-15-11 10:27 PM

Not sure about that one, you would have to maybe take out the cross member off the rx3 and try it out in it.

Be nice if it would clear an IDA though.

From the picture i've seen, it looks like you could, but needs to be tried and verified though.

let me know, i can get one too!:icon_tup:

dj55b 05-17-11 10:05 PM

Can you guys post a couple pictures of it to see what I'm up against? I do have to work on 3rd gen adjustable control arms before getting into that though along with a few other things in the way. Realistically, prob will be about 5-6 months down the road before getting into it.

Sam, I have an RX-2 subframe in my 616 right now, I'll be pulling it out at some point this summer.

Shoot me a text when ever its out Joe! btw, what do you want me to do with those s5 housings?

Siraniko 05-18-11 08:10 AM

send it to me for test fitting since my other RX-3 has no motor and engine cross member. also, any changes on pricing? If you need one for a RX-4, LMK as I have an extra RX-4 crossmember

PureMdMa 05-18-11 10:43 AM

Im down for a RX2 version also Sam. Im also interested in a RX2 coilover setup too. A brake upgrade package for the RX2 would also be bad azz.
