for some reason the previous owner thought id be smart if he cut out a piece of the shock tower so the camber kit doesn't bottom out into it. heres what she looks like









myquestion is does this look like it could effect chassis rigidity? and is there anyway that this could be reversed?

thanks

 

1) Yes

2) Weld it up

 

looks like he did it for easy access

 

Lesson learned. Never buy riced Civics.

 

lol @ they cut it and the uca still hits. did you buy it without checking?

 

sorry this isnt a riced civic. she just needs a little tlc thats all..

look for yourself

nahh i saw it. i got a good deal on the car so i just ran with it haha


the pictures in the garage are before i dumped it some more.

 

wow what a unsafe hack job cant believe someone even though hey lets just cut the most important part of this out. lol good luck man your guna need to find another body and just and have a good welder.

 

not only should you weld it over to just cover the hole, it will also help stop crud from flying in there from the wheels, like little stones or water.

 

yeahh idkk do you think she'll ever get close to the oem ridigity? or is it one of those things that will never be the same again?

lol @ blaming dumb moves on "previous owners"

 

well hrmm lets see..I am the second ower..and I purchased the car like that..so unless someone popped my hood in the middle of the night and cut it out I bought it like that..haha

 

Not sure what the point of this is.
