I'd recommend fitting a plate kit whilst you're there

id weld everything if your gunna drive it like you stole it, as with pauls old nova turbo it still wanted to pull itself apart after a few track days

http://www.pro-tecmotorsport.com (http://www.pro-tecmotorsport.com) are selling strengthening kits at £55.00 on special offer at the moment...i bought mine a couple of months ago but i dont have the fitting diagram so if anyone has any idea of where all 14 plates go would be a massive help as i only have fitted two front chassis leg plates so far.

Weld all the seams in the ones in the wheel arch.
