So I was thinking...Do you think it is really that safe to put mucho torque on a frame that is almost 15 years old?

Anybody have any problem with that?

Brace it like a pair of crippled legs. There's some things you can do to stiffen the chassis. Spot welding (welding the seems) seems to be the way to go when doing it right.

yeah, spot weld almost the entire chassis. Also build you a bad a roll cage. Then reinforce your engine bay, diff-bay, transmission-bay. Pretty much, if you want to drift of pull serious power from a s13 chassis, yes. You have to reinforce it all.

thats why i need help on finding Frame/Chassis diagrams.
