New to stangnet! Loving the site! But here is my car. A 93 lx coupe, original 5oh car. (306 now). Eventually a turbo car. Mini tub in progress. Lots of small mods done. 17's coming soon!

@awilli93coupe I merged your threads to get the pictures into this one, hope that's what you're after? If you need any help like this in the future feel free to tag me or pm me. To tag a member use the @ symbol followed by their name. For example @84Ttop would send an alert to my notifications.

As far as the mini tub goes, you will want to notch the frame rail for extra clearance. You will want to look at coil overs and offset lower control arms as well.

Is notching out the frame pretty tough to do?

Not necessarily, you'll be in there cutting the wheel tubs out anyway and it's only a matter of cutting some more metal. Nothing a sawzall and grinder can't accomplish. Will you be using someones kit to do the mini tub? Some kits have an option for the frame rail plates to come with the tubs, also look into the cross member for the coil overs and coil over brackets. Hopefully you have a decent welder and a very solid back round in welding, this isn't a project for the faint of heart...

Ok sweet thanks for all the help! Do you know of any good kits?

I don't have super terrific pictures of mine on hand, I would have to look through some old build pictures to find them. You can see in this picture up to the left where the frame was notched to accommodate the tire/wheel combo. (Keep in mind that most of my examples will be a little extreme)

Damn that looks good what size wheel and tire you got? What's the motor also?
