I take it that the new wiring has to run from outside of the beam; likely under the carpet. Did you have to drill a new hole to insert it back into the beam?.... and it was an absolute pain in the arse rewiring it.

the original wiring for my car actually ran under the carpet (its recessed) then up one side into a hole. its this section where everything was foamed,I take it that the new wiring has to run from outside of the beam; likely under the carpet.

Just as an FYI though, some insurance companies will not pay if your car is foamed too cuz it's impossible to fix if banged up.well....got pro and cons. Foaming is better alternative.
If chassis welding illegal, full stop. Who know, accident then want to claim...
Defnitely, but it does help to a certain extent i guess... My friend's car has been rear ended badly, after foaming it does strengthen the chassis quite abit. But again that's an old chassis that has been rear ended. Probably the result aren't as significant on modern chassis which is already quite stiff to begin with.Foam doesn't strengthen the chassis in a significant manner
yeah that's the cons to it. Pray hard that nothing goes wrong hahaha.dont even bother with welding...
foaming, make sure its done properly and it's alright i guess..... keep in mind, it's an irreversible process with its fair share of pros and cons.
pro: strong (played with excess foam before, for the most part i guess it does the job
con: in an accident, the chassis might not give way as expected by the manufacturer. The car feels harsher, messy and not easy to clean up. Also, makr sure you know your chassis well, any wiring/drainage might get buried or blocked. In some cars, the door switch is located pretty low down, in my case, this cable got buried... its fine while it works but one fine day it snapped.... and it was an absolute pain in the arse rewiring it.
AgreedOh as a idiot myself, I have to tell you if you choose to foam - go with Autofoam the original foam. Anything else is a waste of time and money (even though cheaper).
really depends on how bad its hit... if bent outtashape... ohh habis (then again, one really would not want to drive a car with that kind of damage anyway)Just as an FYI though, some insurance companies will not pay if your car is foamed too cuz it's impossible to fix if banged up.
Seam welding is just strengthening existing stock welding points or weakened ori welds. Or just sell your car and buy an original Satria R3 car which comes pre-welded by the R3 boffins. Or the Satria Neo Clubsport which is welded and roll-caged by R3 and both cars are completely road legal.
yang ni actually very easy....Thanks. One of my door switches no longer working. Was wondering how I should go about fixing it
Rear ended by a 7 series ...Defnitely, but it does help to a certain extent i guess... My friend's car has been rear ended badly, after foaming it does strengthen the chassis quite abit. But again that's an old chassis that has been rear ended.
oh wow... thats a really bad crash...Rear ended by a 7 series ...
Insurance paid for the repairs ...
When car came back, rear right wheel when jacked up is higher than the other side
The wheel tilts inwards. Not driveable. Caused by this ...
Spent the last few months parked idly while I tried unsuccessfully to find it a new body. In the end took a chance and had it repaired by another shop. Now feels okay but I still have some engine work to do before I test it proper
Lol. . .I wish I know. It was a real mess when I got it back. Had enough of waiting for it. Preferred to fix it out of my own pocket. Wheel hub was damaged. So replaced with newSorry, to see your car in that state.....
How come during Insurance repair that was not done properly?
