So I've had my s13 for about a decade. I bought it when I was a dorifto teen and have been in a wreck or two with it. I have since grown up a bit (a small bit) and have built the car purely around the driving quality leaving cosmetics to wait. Chassis wise my car is solid. Core support...well thats another story. It is currently tweaked in 5 different directions.
Since finding a new s13 core support is next to impossible and every junk yard one is worse off than my own, I feel as if the best solution to make my body panels and headlights point in the same direction is to tube the core support. I would try to engineer it to be no stronger than the factory support so as to not cause chassis damage in the event of another mishap. What do SCCA rules and most HPDE events have to say about slightly tubed fronts if anything at all?
Thoughts?
