I punched it in second today and heard a snap. My crossmember snapped right where it bends in front of the motor. I was suprised cause' I have rubber mounts and it doesn't even look rusty at all, I think it might have something to do with my new wheels, I just went from stock sawblades to some 17's and kumhos. If anybody has an extra one let me know I will buy it!

lol...Jon broke the x-member that used to be on my car...Before I sold him the car, I swapped the x-members and motor mounts. His car used to have a beefed up x-member and poly mounts...I never would have imagined that his x-member would have broken with factory mounts and a clutch that grips only a little better than an oem. Must be the damn 235/45-17w kumho ecsta supra 712's.

Sorry to hear that Jon...I'm sure you and Ryan will have it fixed and re-enforced in no time.

Yeah Ryan is coming over tommorow with welding capabilitys. I think I'm going to buy one off of Jeff if he can find it and possibly beef that one up.

Yup, there's a thread on how to reinforce it, if I recall. Also, I believe Matt offers beefed up crossmembers...but you have to send him one to work on.

Well apparently it wasn't just a random break. After I took it out of the car I noticed that it must have cracked on the top a while ago right next to the first mount bolt because the top of the broken spot had rust on it and the rest was clean...

Whoa. Hard to imagine it was on my car.
