Has any one ever built there own tubular subfram for there CB7. My buddy has one for is EG. It made is front end stiff as crap the thing 3 weal’s through turns at auto_x races. The handling on that thing phenomenal

I don't think anyone here has ever done it. It would be pretty cool to see, but somehow, it would kinda take the CB7 out of the CB7!
Once you replace the frame, it's more of a kit car!

I didn't say change the layout of the chassis. I just think it would be cool to take an already great Honda platform and make it weigh less and more rigged. what good is having horse power and torque if you cant use it to the full potential. that is why we do suspension up grades better weal's and tires exhaust and ECU tuning. All of those things modify an already great car by taking the original CB7 out and replacing it with the new. you say taking the CB7 out of the CB7 I say showing the other guys my 4 door is better than thairs.Originally posted by deevergoteI don't think anyone here has ever done it.

That's true... I dunno, perhaps just because a tube frame seems like such an exotic modification. I mean, you're not really putting something new on the car, you're nearly replacing everything that IS the car!
I know one guy that made a tube front end for his 3rd gen... He put an H22 in there.

now are you talking about the front subframe like where the traction bars hook up? or the actual frame. because when i think subframe i think of that piece and they make the traction bar replacement for that guy.

Your right they do make a traction bar. But that only solves one problem, it adds one to. It adds extra weight. And it does nothing to the rigidity of the chassis! You still get all that flex during hard braking and cornering. The added weight might not seem like much but in the grad scheme of thing every pound counts.

I've got a traction bar that replaces the front crossmember... doesn't add any weight.

ya i dont see a traction bar adding that much weight. have you handled one of those crossmembers? they arent light. then if you used good tube steel then i think it would be benificial
