Anyone have any comments? Or and I Crazy again?

On a Cooper it would be Bye Bye transmission.

explain.....the only rigidity lost in his case would probably be the rear seats which kinda tie the two sides of the car together...besides that, the roll cage seems like it would add way more rigidity than stock. Most of my friends running roll cages in their car say its WAY more rigid than their old interiors

read what I wrote again RallyMini...

If Im reading it right, and if I typed it right, I should have said "The rollcage will give you more rigidity than the stock interior"
