As you may know I'm going for the GTM MHI TT kit. The weekend after ZDayz I'll tearing my car down getting a hugh jump before the kit comes and selling my parts. Being I'm removing the radiator core support and the time it will take to get the TT kit I thought it would be best to remove the motor for the install and the cool factor of removing the first fire wall of two that our cars have. Something that I planned to do anyways. Why not now?

This will reduce more weight and I feel it would help a lot with less trap heat with the walls of the first fire wall removed. As seen below.

My cocern about removing the second firewall. Does it have anything to do with chassic strength in that area? I don't know how that area is put together.

Not sure exactly. I'll be talking to this guys car at ZDayz. As you can see in the pics there a good bit of stitch welding in places. All in all there's not really that much removed. Just three simple wall sections that are thin as is. Basically the U-shape section you see there.

If you're going that far. Finish seam welding the rest of it.

My welder is ready

If you was closer, I would give you a hand.

Love a good welding job like this.

If you seam welded everything you won't miss the firewall...the 240 community has been doing this and many folks have report feeling a difference in chasis rigidity...

Sh0velMan · 05-14-2013, 03:38 PM

Lord, one day I might be able to seam weld everything.. but that's a fckin job right there.

Even as torn apart as my car is right now (Look at the journal) it's still not nearly torn down enough for seam welding...
