Ok, Who took this whole thing out because their exhaust wont fit and too lazy to get spacers and longer screws?
I took it out, but I wanna find out how this will effect my axles and tires.
I did AutoX without one and it was alright, but I wanna get some opinion on it.
Thanks.

Removing it won't hurt you noticeably -- don't worry about it. It provides minor chassis stiffening, but the extra body flex you'll get without the tie bar is going to be minuscule compared to the normal suspension flex that your tires and axles get anyway.
If you're really a stickler for SCCA autocross classing rules, the removal of the tie bar kicks you into a crazy non-competitive class, like either A Prepared or E Modified. None of the "normal" classes (Stock, Street Prepared, Street Touring, Street Modified) permit the removal of the bar. I wouldn't even be certain that using spacers with the bar is legal -- except in Street Modified (where it should be covered under the minor modification allowance). But unless you're winning at the divisional or national level, don't worry about it.
Get the spacers and longer bolts whenever you can get around to it; until then, you're fine without the bar.

yeh, I wouldn't even place last on street mod class. They'll just kick me out.
^ thanks for the vague answer.
I'm getting the cusco, maybe. I need to spend some of my money.
