Think it needs a freshen up nick, looking grubby underthere.

Rust is a good way of losing weight from the motor! On 19th Jan, 2010 wil_h said:

true indeed, But many people have said to me that beams are not as rigid as a subframe thus give you some flex in the corners? I've been looking at the tdkracing ones, they weigh 5.5 kg, but i reckon i could get my subframe close to 10kg, my exhaust mounts to my subframe too? but that does weigh quite a lot, i might change that for a single bike exhaust nice and light. will it restrict power?

Just be careful you don't have noise issues as a result! If you have got coilovers you might as well go straight to a beam - exhausts no problem just bolt so other mounts straight to boot floor On 5th Sep, 2011 Vegard said:

So do I! - I'll have to look and see but there must be a bit of metal left near rear panel but no issues in 12 seasons use with it pulling thru! On 5th Sep, 2011 Vegard said:

I reckon i'm going to keep the subframes this year and get the hole saw and grinder out on them, loose a nitrous tank and see if there are any more weight savings to have. I'm thinking seat brackets etc etc........ "Cars are a lifetime of pain" |
