Ok so in the process of changing my clutch we found that one of the bolts on the main big crossmember was stripped (nut seized onto thread) and nut was welded to the inside of a chassis box. Luckily we could undo the other bolt and swing it out to drop the gearbox. While putting back together the other bolt did the same thing and broke the nut of inside halfway during tightening so the crossmember isnt exactly firm on the car. This cause the crossmember or something else to hit something when the gearbox moves (taking off from a stop)

What are my options in regards to removing the old crossmember and installing new ones with new fittings?

An old flatmate had the same thing happen which he sorted by drilling a pilot hole from the underside, up through into the footwell on either side.

Then used holesaw to to put holes on the topside which he could drop nuts down into the correct place and get someone to hold with a socket while installing the bolts underneath.

Personally, I'd use weld-nuts and weld patches back over the holes.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
