I dunno, The 260 has lots of "speed holes" in it. It must have taken a bit off it's weight.

If it comes to it, Nick you can use my subframe i need to take it out again sometime anyway to fit an R200, but id rather get my motor sorted at the mo. Just a thought.

nick.
a 910 rear subframe BOLTS into a 510 no worries......I fitted one to my 510 years ago, but never drove it, as the mounting points (or the trailing arms) make the rear toe in too much for a 510, at least without modifying it.
so doing a 910 rear subframe conversion could be quite handy if you could sort the toe in problem.
it would give you good shock options, including coilovers as standard, and rear discs

Ok i'll talk to you about it when I see you next, could actually work quite well If you have an R200 by that point too, I could snaffle that aswell.
