I have a 94 DX coupe that I'am going to be rebuilding and customizing. This will be the first time i have worked on a civic. The last anly only thing i rebuilt was 72 ford pickup, so this will be quite different. lol. Anyway im stripping the car down to the frame and would like any advice from experienced civic people. Is there any known weak spots in the stock frame i should reinforce? Im planning on putting quite a bit of power in this puppy, hopefully a V6. Thanks for the help!

 

As far as I know, the stock unibody is fairly stout. If anything, I'd say some bolt-on subframe bracing should do the trick if you're putting down enough torque to flex the frame; you shouldn't need to reinforce the frame itself though.

 

Cool cause im going to be throwing a J series in it. I cant wait

 

do yourself a favor and rustproof the whole frame. save you money down the road! i would like to see pics of the progress aswell! welcome to hcf.

 

Thanks i will definately put pics up when i get started
