I couldn't help but warn these guys.

$1000 for that battered POS because they don't like EDs is an idiot statement.

I started to explain it to him, but then realised that he paid half his budget on the car itself. I guess it doesn't matter if anyone sees his thread or not, no one will copy him as I doubt he'll place.

I used a $100 ebay grip-force clutch for 3 years of abuse. Great clutch. I recommend one.

I'd do a tube, and disperse the load with 90 degree angle iron.

Stitch weld the seams, yo!

Flat steel is prone to flexing along it's weak side. All modern unibody frames are set up to mimick a spaceframe as best as possible, using a rigid tube is in keeping with this.

Use the 90 degree angle at both ends of the tube, the only way 90 degree angles will plate the frame. It'll make sense when you get in there.

About your clutch, if i were you i would talk to mike at lsd and tell him who you are and what you are doing, and see if he will cut you a grm2009 deal? Cant hurt to ask.
