well... I got a little idea today. While looking for a way to get rid of the sway bar and possibly making a tubular subframe.

I have a spare FC subframe/steering/brakes/struts/ect... basically everything up front. I seen a few people use FC subframes succesfully in a 1st gen. And i would love to put these spare FC parts to use instead of collecting dust in my garage. But the FC subframe is just too wide for the narrow Rx2. I thought it would be about the same width, but they are not even close. So i was thinking about cutting a section of the subframe out (center) to reduce it down to the correct width. Basically just shortening the FC front subrfame by about 6". Then i should only need to fab up some shorter tie rods for steering.

If im looking over something major here, please point it out before i cut a perfectly good subframe in half...
