#337426 Hello everyone.. I'm new here, but not new into hondas.

i own a 99 civic d16y8 turbo and now i'm rebuilding a 1993 eg6



i'm needing help to verify my unibody/chassis.
the car had a front/driver-side hit... i sended it to shop alignment but i want to verify if everything is fine...

i know there's a chassis measurement chart in service manual..
but im needing some advice from someone who did something like this before.. like.. where is the most important points to measure ?





the car is now into the car rotisserie and want o verify the alignment before start the rebuild.. so.. any tips to verify this chassis?

#337430 hi xzachrickx! thank for your help.

the plan is a track car... K20 + rollcage + lots of suspension!

and it isn't surface rust, it's dust!! red dust! lol



about the chassis verification, i mean verify the chassis alignment.. any tips?


it's an EG6... do you have any chassis guideline you can send me?

hell yeah man suspension makes a car just as much as what motor is in it. love suspension setups, real ones not d2s and ebay lcas. lol

after looking at the pics i saw that the rubber brake lines had "rust" on the also. so i thought about it alittle more. haha

#337446 well, good news i believe..

i measured some points and they are in specs or +-3mm in... i mean.. they are close enought i believe.. by what i know 3mm is acceptable.

and, correct me if i'm wrong, if it's a little out.. i can take it suspension be aligned by robots right?


but looks ok!
