I managed to find a thread which helped me know where people drilled their front subframe. But as yet i havn't found any threads where people have drilled holes in their rear ones?

Is this because you shouldn't or just because i'm shite at searching? lol

Don't I've a feeling I'll end up reading all 75,000 threads before my hand recovered, unless of course I go mad first.

while on another forum i found this - completely errelevant but perhaps when people don't have anything else to drill holes in they'll resort to bodywork like this? *hehe!*

Did anyone ever measure a fully built standard frame? :) been googling but numbers seem to vary quite a bit.

So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'...

thanks for taking the time to find that picture nic, much appreciated :)

after doing a little bit of reading on here, i'm not looking to take alot of weight out of the rear one as there's been a fair ammount of comments regarding handling loss.

I think i'll look at losing a little, but not too much from it. I'm not getting any fancy KAD arms or anything like that so most of the standard weight will remain
