Who wouldn't want this 4 wheel drive monster?

Too much power in an A1 can result in front cross member damage, this is Kevin Collins' car.

Additional damage, his car is rather extreme in this case. This is the bottom of the front cross member.

Even the outer edges showed signs of stress cracking.

Another angle showing additional cracking. :-(

There is hope in preventing this situation, even for damage this bad: The Bar, made by VW Specialties for Kevin. It is possible that this bar will be available from parts4vws.com

This is a welded fixed area, showing how the reinforcement bar will be mounted.

Nice shot showing how the bar ties in behind the front motor mount plate.
