have a quick search about lightening the subframe mate there is some brilliant pics some where, and i think most of the higher powered boys have seemed the subby or running a tubular one lol
mainly the seems needed are round the towers, if you look at a bare subframe the places needed to be welder should be obvious

Put a seam weld on all the joints and brace the bottom tie bar mountings.
This is my old lightened one, its nearly 3kgs lighter





You need a very friendly MOT man though

I seriously doubt it!

there is others there honest,
i think your using a too specific search term, try just 'subframe' and go from there!!!


edit: paul your probably the best person to ask doesnt all the holes weaken the frame? top farame aswell btw8-)
