Re: DTR 05 RSX chassis pics.. (xerox445)
Looks pretty good. Only thing I would change, from what I can see in the pictures anyways...is the way to front struts are attached to the front down tubes on the chassis. Instead of having a very small surface area to weld to like you have(welding just the side of the strut cup to front tube of the chassis), you should designa strut cup with a reinforcement in it, transferring more of the load more widely across that bar, instead of just that one small point of contact between the cup and tubing. The reinforcement cups are not difficult to make at all, and would be well worth it in my opinion!

what part?it's a basic MACPHERSON STRUT setup(although those struts are FAR from basic
).different from the dual-wishbone style suspension used on the older Hondas that most Honda enthusiasts are familiar with.the strut acts as the upper control arm basically,with a lower control arm to link it to the chassis on the bottom.note the much beefier looking strut since it is a load-bearing part.the rear setup shown above has a toe adjustment link also.

the front shocks just look like the position they are in is pushing the top of the knuckle down which seems like the same direction that the wheel would be tending to go maybe i should look up howstuffworks on the mcpherson
