haha yeah his thread motivates me to keep working on my Accord too.

Anyways as long as you have your rear sub-frame setup all good, the only thing I would be worrying about is making the front end more sturdy. When I was comparing my Accord chassis to my RB powered car, You could just see that the front end of the Honda is more flimsy than the Nissan (though my Accord is a CA, don't know how much different a CB will be). From the firewall back, there isn't much structural difference between the 2 chassis's. So I wouldn't worry too much about twisting the car (you'll probably have more issues with traction anyway :P). A 25det doesn't make THAT much power. Unless of course you plan on building it to some insane specs that is.

yea, it is compared to the nissan, but I will have to add metal to the sides of the engine bay so I can make a mounting point for the sub frame, I am going to cut a small hole in a few spots down the length of the bay to see how thick it is so I can get tubing that is the proper thickness, but I imagine its probably going to have some of the thickest metal on the car, at least part of it will, I hope it does anyways, that will make it so much easier getting metal, because the only metal shop where the car is only goes down to 14guage, guess I will check out the metal places here where I live since its got several steel places instead of just 1 lol
