Was looking at the lambo chassis and noticed the front and rear being tubular

has anyone/company made an evo with a tubular front and rear to lighten the weight of the car?

Just curious overall and interested to possibly do this in the future

 

Surely you have seen these sub-frames?

Plenty of guys running the rear tubulars

Heres a great thread on the front frame

A lot of hard-core race cars do the front, but it would be really difficult to build one to support all the OEM stuff needed to be street driven, if that's what you are thinking. It's possible, but someone would need to take the time to have all the mounting points in place. It would be NICE to have body panels pop off and have access to the entire engine. Especially if the radiator support was easily removable.
If my car ever goes "full race car", I'll be looking into doing just that.

 

These are pretty nifty:

Oh ,wait. Are you just talking about tubular subframes?

 

This company makes front and rears for a lot of different platforms. I just received mine yesterday for the rear and plan to order a front for next season.

Shipping only took 4 days to my front door

OP was talking about tubular frames, not subframes...

 

Be nice if the OP chimed in to clarify. His post is not quite clear. He noted a tubular front & rear?

 

I read "tube frame" as in race car as opposed to "tubular subframes" so I answered accordingly.
It seems OP isn't too interested ,either way.

 

Generally full race car evo's will get a tubular/light weight front and rear sub frame, and teams will cut the unibody forward of the motor mounts and built a tubular core support. Full tube chassis generally doesn't get built because most people race these cars in classes that require the stock/production based unibody, even if it is heavily altered.

If building a complete tube chassis car there much better drivetrain layouts to use since you're starting from a clean slate, so using the Evo stuff probably wouldn't happen, even if you made the car AWD.

 

 

 

 

By "sub frames" I meant people replace the factory pieces with tubular ones. They don't cut the front and rear structures off the car.

 

Sorry. I didn't mean to come across in a way to make you upset, if you did. We are just making jokes because so many people post on forums and never come back.
But I was right ,yeah?
