[jerry]

Hi Guys,

I have cut my front intrusion bar (or reinforcement bar) of my series 1 R33 get more airflow onto my intercooler. I now understand it is illegal. Anyway, can i reinforce the standard bar to meet regulations or do i have to get another front intrusion bar.

Cheers,

Jerry

They're actually very expensive due to number of people who have small front end prangs and require new reo. Importers take advantage of this and charge what ever they like and you never see any in the private forsale section of this forum for this reason. You're better off to just leave, unless you've got fulll comprehensive insurance in which case it needs to be fixed or the insurance company will not pay out your money if you crash.

yes you can strengthen it, you will need to weld in some steel to ensure full regidity of the front bar, this can be done by a metalshop. I am going to do so to mine and then certify it myself. It pays to be mechanical enginner sometimes.
