Lightened rear subframe

[Neil8p]

Hi

Been following the beam v subframe thread as I'm looking to make my car lighter to improve performance.

I'm still undecided if it's the right way to go, but while I'm trying to make my mind up I thought about making the rear subframe lighter.

Does anyone have any info on or pictures of a miglia rear subframe? I understand they drill them to make them lighter and I'm after an idea of sizes, positions and number of holes so I don't affect the structural strength of the frame.

Thanks

Neil

Fair point, and whilst the car is road legal it is only used for track days.

The subframe on the car is probably lighter than is should be as it's seen better days. I'm swapping it for a good used one and thought this would be a good opportunity to experiment.

I can see where the front and rear sections of the subframe could be drilled, but I'm not sure about the side sections surrounding the suspension cones/trumpets.

Thanks, I'm looking at getting perspex windows etc. as well so I'll not bother messing with the subframe.

Cheers
