This is awesome! I may have to upgrade my Paul Volk 2g subframe to a 3/s subframe. I already have an lsd 3/s reared in hand

PM inbound.Do you have someone local that specializes in heattreating chromo weldments? Can you share contact info?
As of last night, 90% of the welding is done. Just the really hard-to-reach spots left to do and I'll knock that out tonight. Then it's sway bar brackets on Thursday night, and heat treat/stress relief on Friday night. If all goes as planned, I'll pull it out of the jig Saturday morning and get a weight on it.

There's definitely a weight difference between rearends. I don't have any unmolested ones laying around to weigh, but the 3000GT rear is definitely larger and heavier. Definitely overkill for a auto-x or road race car.Any weight differences on 3k vs evo lsd vs 2g lsd I haven't done my research on what I should roadcourse yet. Seems like this version is heaviest other than a stock subframe. Not sure if it's overkill for a non drag car. Launching might become fun however ...
To clarify I'm talking diff weight and is it worth it in a car built for corners on a strict diet. Seems the subframe itself is marginally heavier than your other version by a few lbs. It all adds up
Thanks, Leon!Sorry I am a bit late to a party, outstanding job, Paul! how does that compare to a stock rear sub-frame?
The jig is about 30% done. I just need to get the LCA group buy finished and then I'll be all over it.Alright, so when it the 1G version coming out
