    Default Discovery

    When we started taking apart the car to put in the SC / IC Gary pointed out something I had not noticed before.
    It seems that the guy who rebuilt the car cut out about a foot of the front frame and bolted on a metal bar in it's place.
    Just thought I would share that funny tid bit with you guys that haven't heard about it already.
    I guess I just better not hit anything.
    I know a guy that is a certified welder that is going to fix it better than the patch job done on it but it still sucks...oh well what do you do.
    I plan on adding a RB brace under the car to go with the front sway bar and the shock tower brace, and pray I dont take a cone head on...lol

    Where are the pics, and what did you end up doing to correct or improve it?

    Not True!

    My Mom's 1991 Miata pushed over a concrete barier at about 55mph in it's final day. She walked away with bruises and a couple of broken ribs from the air bag deployment.
