[QUOTE="cataphrax, post: 3359719, member: 24778"] for spot and seam welding, i think you're better off asking the dudes at drift.com.my as many of them are driving relatively older cars and with the amount of stress drifting puts on thier cars, its the only way to make sure there is very minimal chassis flex. but bear in mind once you've done spot and seam welding, once you get into an accident that causes impact onto your chassis, you're pretty much screwed. because when you spot and seam weld you're stiffening up the usual crumple spots that are on the chassis that absorb impact and minimize damage to that specific area. so basically if you have a head on collision, your damage might affect the chassis all the way to either the middle or the back, which will make it impossible to fix or very very expensive as you'll have to use that laser alignment to do back. usually what normal ppl would do it load up on braces and bars. thats the cheapest and most cost effective. but the more bars and braces you put on, the more weight you're adding onto your car. second option would be autofoam. theres a shop somewhere in kl which does this. they inject foam into your A B and C pillar along as well as the sidestep area. since its foam there is not weight penalty. and its a great sound deadener as well. and it absorbs impact well. third option is technically not legal but quite a few guys here have it. half or full cage. adds weight but you really can feel the difference. very minimal chassis flex and almost not body roll (obviously needs to be paired with a good suspension setup as well). i guess thats pretty much it. these are all based on the stuff i have read only and my personal experience so if i'm wrong please feel free to comment.
