so what ur saying, our cars would be totaled then if hit from behind

 

He's saying that an insurance company will most likely refuse to pay a cent towards getting your car fixed if they see that you purposefully removed your rear crash beam. I thought long and hard about the JDM rear but I eventually decided that the risk of having to cover major damages didn't seem worth it at all.

 

yeah it does, its a smaller beam than the US one.

 

does anyone now of any short shifters for the 06 evo mr???

 

how much bigger is a 30R then a stock turbo on an evo 9?

 

I am skeptical as I have yet to see a picture of one. There were countless threads related to this subject matter and no one was ever able to produce a pic of anything other than the rear bumper support piece, which is flimsy sheet metal and useless anyway since the US bumper has the same support. LateBrakeU2, I know a very accomplished chassis fabricator in Long Beach who modified my exisiting crash beam to fit behind the JDM bumper. Not the same as the US beam, but way better than nothing. Evo's are not the most robust cars when in accidents. In most rear collisions of any speed it will not matter if you had a crash beam in there or not. Another thing missing from the JDM bumper that doesn't exist is the crushable styrofoam piece that fits snugly in the US spec bumper.

Again, I won't believe there is an actual crash beam until I see a picture. I went through a bit of trouble and time to have the existing beam modified and I would not have gone through with it if I believed a non US spec beam existed.

 

Be more specific. In terms of CFM, turbine housing, hotside, etc?

 

This has ben covered a few times,but the only comapany that makes one for the 6 speed is WORKS and it has to be installed by them or an authorized WORKS dealer.

I grinded second today leaving work. It always make me uneasy but yes, the transmission is very notchy.

Just search around, look for the style exhaust you want, and listen to sound clips. Narrow it down to which one you want most and get that one.

a car cant be put into production without some sort of crash beam, because they are tested to crash test ratings before put into production

 

Those were pretty much my concerns as well.The lack of energy dissipating structure with this naked setup made it quite clear what an 8 mph impact would do to the car-at the very least a rear clip i'm thinking,and anything above that possible carbeque.

That foam piece is large part of the equation-I could see using some formula car type expanding seat mix foam baggied into the bumper shell,would form right up nicely but then there's the issue with the bracing fab work.. either way it's down to is the high worth the hurt-literally and or monetarily and I really dig the aesthetics of the JDM version.
