RX3 Crossmember update :)

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!

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

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

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.
