Cool, while your there you should figure out a way to move the torque arm mount off of the transmission and on to the crossmember. I think it really helps with reducing case flex and keeping the T5 alive. BTW, what is the reason behind that hitch in your other pictures?

Yes....I have enough materials left to build two more I think......as long as your car is under 450ish HP and TQ this one will work just fine.....if for a higherh HP and drag racing let me know and I can build one better suted for that......if you want a copy of mine I can build it by this comming weekend......as far as price.....$100 (plus shipping)...I can paint it black or yellow free (spray can) if you want it powder coated etc let me know and I can have a guy here do it (you pay what he charges) or ship it to your powder coater etc.

The TQ arm was next on my list.....I am also considering tying it into a set of sub frame conectors with a shorter arm....I have yet to really put the idea on paper yet....as for the hitch on my van it is a mount I fabbed up for a parts bender......(the gray circular part).

Well, I plan on making 500 ftlbs and if the t5 dies i will be looking for a T56, do you think you could fab one for the 6 speed? I guess you need something to mock up?

PM me if yo can,
Zane

I was interested in one of those crossmembers, but the link to the pictures does not work. I have 450-500ftlb and 400hp though.
