well i am part way thru my long journey on my drift project. i have the car stripped down as much as possible. sound deadener is gone along with all interior. i have my SR sitting out of its home and ready to get a new headgasket. put to the point...i am ready to stiffen up my chassis, i was wondering if any of you have done this to your cars? apexi's rx7 they said they drilled a whole inbetween every stock spot weld and then welded the two pieces together and grinded it back down flush. other ppl i have seen spot weld certain areas(im not sure where they spot weld) then there are some the sticth weld the seams up? can anybody tell me where all i need to weld and why? i also heard about foam in your door rocker panerls to stiffen the chassis. PLEASE help!!! thanks!

how many events have you driven in?

Oh yeah to answer your question, the people I know just stich an inch or so apart along all the seams after they have been ground down.

i think unless your a huge drifter drifting every day in comps. or high speed drifts or unless your cars frame is rusty but i really dont think you need to go through all that

I am going to do the most I can without taking the motor back out.
