That's probably what your builder was looking at. But the front of the rear deck is the heart of the frame of the S2000.
So when one welds the base onto this deck, wouldnt the deck deform under stress? (regardless of the harder frame underneath, but since the mount is not attached to this harder part..)


The base mount would then shift ..

I weighed the car yesterday. 1480lbs with a passenger seat (sparco Evo) and half tank of gas. Figure 25lbs off for the seat and base.

Sorry, that's 2480 not 1480

2480 makes more sense considering his prep level.

I'm about 2350 w/ a full tank o gas.
