Reason to strengthen subframe
« on: March 05, 2009, 06:48:39 PM »
So i went to put in my new urethane motor mounts today and found somthing wonderful i guess this is what happens when you build everything else up and forget about important things such as this. Good idea for you guys planning on boosting or already have done so to reinforce this area as the perch for the motor mount has completely sheared off only thing holding it on is the nut for the motor mount.

Seems like a fairly common failure point - would be another good item to add to common things to check.
