my top tip for future reference is, anyone that tells you that you dont need chasis strengthening plates needs to be ignored. on an xe, fair enough. you have to think of the added torque going through the shell. not to use them, especially when car has been stripped down is rediculous.

who has told you that you dont need them?

a mate said to me that i wouldnt need them as the engine isnt that powerful that im fitting???
so i didnt fit them.
for id just listern to someone else thats done it as im pretty much a novice to engine conversions

if your mates have said its fine then it probably is. personally when putting more torque and power into a shell that is only designed to take 110bhp or whatever, id want it stronger to make sure.
