F20C in AE86
About to start this swap in RHD.

I dont want to space the subframe, and dont mind totally remaking the subframe. Is that an option? Keen to hear opinions and advice from those that have done it...

Cheers!

I've only seen a completely custom subframe/cradle on an ae86 once, and it happens to be a f20c swap. Here's the link:

Good to see you went with a good solution and not the one from the link.

A wheel to steer the front of the car
A pedal to steer the rear

Yeah you just need to redrill a couple of holes for the arms and the geometry is corrected. All arms are adjustable and the total spacer height to clear the bonnet is 20mm, so thats ok.

It's coming along nicely.

I wish I would have checked back on this earlier. I'm also glad you didn't go with the sub frame in the link because the steering rack brackets don't even look close to road worthy, and there's only one metal tube connecting both sides of the x member (it's a drag car so I doubt he minds). I only posted the link to give you ideas since you were curious about a custom sub frame.
