another great chassis brace find!!!

i hadnt been on memory fabs site in a while a figured i would stop by to see if they had any new goodies for the fit and they did!!! this thing is sick and i want it so bad.

its called the miracle-x bar. its a bit pricey and im pretty sure the only way to install it is to remove the rear seat belts (i could be wrong). the x bar it self is $560 then you have some optional bars like a top pillar bar ($200.00) a bottom strut bar ($200.00) and the right and left ''butterfly'' bars ($400.00).

here is a picture of the x bar by it self (no optional bars)


here is a picture of the x bar with all of the optional bars
one of the main things that i like about this brace is that it uses the mounting points for the seat belts which still gives you the freedom of running any of the rear strut bars out there. i bet running this full set up with the weapon*r trunk cage, a rear sway bar, and a 4pt. lower brace would stiffen up the rear end quite a bit.... geez i need chassis braces!!!

Wow that looks sweet. I'd love to have that in my car, but it's not very subtle.

I have 20% tint and I really would like the idea of people looking at my car that way. I just don't want to give them any reason to think about stealing my car. hahaha that's why my car looks the way it does XP.

HOWEVER, if i were to change to 5%... theres an idea... lol

I still plan on getting a c pillar and a strut

I don't know...For $1360 you could probably get something custom done by a cage builder that would get your more structural support

yea you did, and i realized it about ten minutes after i did.

and that really is true about the cage. you could totally get something 10 times better for the same price or close to it. and now that i think about it having some custom work done seems to be a better choice. but this is still a good option for those who dont want all that comes along with having a cage but some of the benefits. with this system you can probably take it on and off in a small amount of time. which is good for those who would like to retain cargo space or not give a signal to the rest of the world that they are some crazy speed racer when all they are doing is picking up their kid from school.

I saw a 6pt rollcage on I think kamispeed a while ago. I'm not into screwing with my hatch-space. Just in case I ever need to pack my life into my car ;P I will do the T1R c-pillar though, but that's all

Spoon rollcage: Kami Speed - Spoon Sports 6pnt Roll Cage FIT - Beatrush, C-ONE, C-West, Fujitsubo, JDM OEM Parts for RSX DC5, Celica ZZT231, & More JDM.

not sure. I wonder how much the rollcage weighs. I would think about doing it once I've done everything else I want to do right now.

im sure shipping cost an arm and a leg. considering that the roll cage is a large piece of metal it will more than likely come in a wooden crate instead of card board. take in the weight plus the size annd you end up paying a third of what it cost just to ship it.

got word from memory fab that the miracle X bar does not fit on the US fits. it will not allow you to use rear seats and you would have to mod or fold the seat down.


memory fab also said there will be a US version in the making but didnt say when it would be available and it would allow you to use your back seats.

$560 not including shipping

eh I think with i/h/e and a turbo or s/c setup, it would be enough to dominate easily!
