I am a bit of a beginner here so any advise is gratefully received. I have cut out a space in the bulkhead and welded in an Avonbar Turbo box. Do I have to carry out anymore strengthening modifications associated with this or is the box strong enough? |

there are a lot of mixed feelings about this, I suppose it all depends what you plan using your car for. I plan on using my mini on the track quite a bit, so I've added a few more bars.

I seam welded some of the joins on the subframe, added the Minispares subframe bracing kit, and welded a piece of steel box section across between the subframe towers. This cost next to nothing and should stiffen it up a bit.

Why did you drill your pedal arms? Surely it cant be to save weight? |

When fitting a 1.3turbo lump tuned to 150bhp 'ish, would there be any long term effects/strains on the chassis? What and where would these points under stress be? |
