would it be possible to get a front subframe, turn it around and instead of a steering rack have just a solid bar that is locked off so it can't turn? then do you think that I could cut a hole in the top iof the wheel arch for the suspension towers. and just suspend the differential where the engine would go.


I wouldn't use a mini subframe at all, the components just wouldn't be up to the job, putting 300hp through mini CV's will be hopeless, the brakes don't have handbrake facilities either.

If you did decide to use a mini subframe, why turn it round???? A solid bar would be useless for the steering rack how would you have suspension

Something like the subframe below should do it, although my personal preference is for a de dion setup

Cheers

I was going on what other people have done on their conversions. guess i was wrong haha. So it would have to be a custom subframe, with a hollow metal tube construction
