    Pierce Motorsports 4-Point Front Tie bar for fwd BG Chassis

    Jim (JPmotorsports) has been kind enough to design, and produce a 4-point front lower tie bar for us. This design will stiffen the front subframe significantly more than a 2-point design. The price will be $185 + shipping and Tax. There is also the option to add a gusset at each corner for $20 extra. The first payment will be $100 and will be due when we have 5 people signed up. It will be payed directly to Jim. The final payment will be roughly $125 to $150 depending on your shipping cost, plus $20 extra if you want gussets.

    Here is a photo.


    And here are the specs
    It will use 1 1/4" cups to bolt to the front control arm bolts and 1 1/4" cups that use the subframe bolt in back next to the rear control arm mounts. We'll use 1" x .120 wall DOM tubing in between the cups.

    It has a 1/4" clearance at the trans crossmember and I'm going to need some help with measurements in the rear to clear a stock exhaust system---I don't currently have a car with a stock exhaust so we'll have to work it out with photo's and measurements.


    EDIT:We have the clearance issues worked out!!!

    We are looking to get at least 5 people signed up before production begins, but there will be no real limit to how many are made, as long as you are interested they will be produced.

    PM me or reply to this thread. I will put you on the list, and will then get you the info when it's time to pay Jim and I will gather your shipping info for him.

    The list goes as follows...
    1:300ZXRB26DETT (1st payment in)
    2:AtomicEGT
    3:Woodsish (1st payment in)
    4:AJAX
    5:Honda Killer
    ...
    10:Cody004
    ...

    All right, for the first five on the list... First payment is due. You should either have or be getting soon, a PM with Jim's paypal and a bit more info, from me.

    Everyone else, keep signing up as we can make these as long as there is interest in them!

      What's the production timeframe from payments to tracking number roughly?

        Jim says he can make 10 a week, so once you have made the first payment, I believe it should be at most around a week and a half, (correct me if i am wrong Jim) so have your second payment ready.

        We mostly are waiting for the first 5 people to sign up.

            Umm I am not %100 sure if it will fit an MX3, but it will fit the escort/tracer and fwd protege/323. I know we can use the control arms from an MX3 on the escort and 323, so it depends on clearances and rear mount locations I guess. I will try to find out for you.

                  Thanks to Cody for setting this up---I don't think I'd have the energy/drive to do it...Cody and I are working out the measurements---the rear bar goes in front of the exhaust hanger, and I want to make sure it clears the pipe---not sure on all the applications---I'll let Cody handle that. When we get five orders/deposits, I'll start building them---It won't take but a week before I start shipping them out---it doesn't take long to build them. I'm not interested in having them powdercoated---you guy's can do that on your own---most powder coaters do both black and white parts daily so it shouldn't be too expensive.

                    the mx3 front subframe is slightly different, so these will not fit unless he makes an mx3 specific version. same goes for the 3rd gen escort IIRC.

                        i can't see the 4 point being any more benificial then just the front bar itself.
