[QUOTE="h701micra, post: 698892, member: 10465"] They're oversprung from the factory if you get the cheaper sets. They may be more comfortable with the heavier engine :) But that's something I can help you wish if you wish when the time comes Gearbox will be fine its just the linkage you need to fabricate as normal. MR2s have a cable setup to change gears It certainly would. But a roll cage isnt the be and end all to chassis stiffening, stitch welding or seam welding, gussets and beams all play a part K10s have a very soft, weak roof. Gusseting the cage to the roof and adding the X brace in the roof part of the cage will help The front chassis legs can do with an upper brace, strategically placed as not to hinder their structural fold design :) I 've put some steel tubing in the sill recently after watching a video of a mini being built, and strengthened them there and giving good anchor points too You can go mental with it, but you have to consider the weight penalty. Although 3S-GTE will handle a stiffened K10 no problem [/QUOTE]
