Maybe an access port? Like the OEM undertray. Or is that the hole your talking about?

Yea I mean you can just grab a drill and a sawzall and cut a hole for the jack to go through. I'm not incorporating that into the design because things move around and putting a hole in one spot won't fit for everyone. Quite frankly I have no issues jacking on the sides of my car and if I need to use the front jack point I'll just drop the splitter to use it.

Titanium is so brittle it doesnt really work for alot of applications on a car apart from looking pretty.
Only spot i can really see an advantage would be in an exhaust. We used dairy tube stainless on ours which is very thin walled and almost as light however. Just probably not very easy to get ahold of if ur not in the industry.

I need some Ti or at least Aluminum IC piping, the steel stuff is starting to get a bit rusty (its like 07 vintage from ETS). I know the alum is more prone to crushing though so would have to be careful. Maybe switch from T-bolt to dual worm drive.
Im also planning my own motor mounts that do things a little different than the available mounts. Slightly lowering the motor also. Have hear theres room to lower and move it back a small bit, need to get my head in there and see if thats a thing.

Also did you ever see the engine positioning of the Redbrick Evo VII? Surely there must be weight saving in a tubular front sub too that allows you to get the engine that low?

At this point improving my car is all in "a little here, a little there" cause its way far gone. And at the top of any class, its the details that put you ahead.

I know it sounds stupid but I'd ...almost....be down for Ti lugnuts again. As Dallas has fought for lowering rotating mass that's a good starting point. Do it like CBRD had them, 17mm hex. But not 450 bucks....and not "you must order them as a set, no one off's"
