Drax240z Posted March 24, 2001 Share Posted March 24, 2001 `Allo Peter. I'm hoping to be around the same neighborhood as you for power... I would say that you don't really need frame mods, just be sure that your frame is in good shape. I'd recommend a 4 point roll bar/cage and a way to triangulate the front strut towers/firewall at the very least. If you want, I am going to be getting some material to make myself a 6 point cage soon, maybe we can go halfers on material or something. (I expect we'll be able to get it in naniamo) You definately want to strengthen the chassis after just getting all your bodywork done... cracks suck! ------------------ Richard Lewis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Drewz Posted March 24, 2001 Share Posted March 24, 2001 At the bare minimum I would suggest getting some frame connectors made out of 14 ga. steel and welding them in solid. My 260 is tight as hell with them. ------------------ The only stupid question is one you wanted to ask but never did!!! http://ca.photos.yahoo.com/andrewzcars Drewz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
