supersport Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 do you need a different front sub frame? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naylor2006 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 do you need a different front sub frame? Pretty sure you use the rs2000 sub frame, I looked into an rs2000 fwd conversion and needed the sub frame, best way to make it fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etrebus Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 [http://i1093.photobucket.com/albums/i421/p4u188/9e381194.jpgsome nice work. but the way you have welded the mounting plate worries me .the nut should be under car you are putting all the load on those three little tacks holding the nut to the plate.in an accident the nut could rip off the plate .if the nut was underneath it would have to pull itself through through the plate much stronger.i would advise you put a plate and another nut on the underside to restore strength sorry to be picking faults but had to say it. looking good keep posting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
