It would change the front gearbox, by the outlet of the front belt. The front belt will no longer skim the chassis all the way to the back like on the Mid. it will gradually work its way up to the layshaft pulley. So the front gearbox opening is facing upwards at an angle, and lower belt cover can't be used. next you will need to cut some slots on the upper deck to allow the belt to pass through it like in the lazer zx.The rear gearbox will also need a bigger upper opening. Yes this could be done but like I said it wouldnt look like an optima mid anymore. if this is acceptable yeah I can do this.
