My wrecked Chumpcar is currently at the cage builder's because he has a frame table. He has asked me to track down the frame specs so he can make sure its straight (he mainly pulls racecars so he doesnt subscribe to a service that provides the info).

My question for the Hive is where can I find this info? Based on my google research it looks like I get them from Mitchell collision but I dont really want to subscribe for a single use. Can I buy an old book that has them? Is there a resource on the web i haven't found?

The car in question is a 1993 Civic CX hatch.

In reply to JThw8: The 90 and 93 are different. I have a similar page from the FSM but from what I was told the aftermarket has better specs. Im hoping a somebody with body shop experience can help explain what exactly I looking for. I think its partly a case of not knowing the right terminology to use.

Edit- we were posting at the same time. Thats the page I have. Maybe it is what he was talking about. I will have to take it to him and see.

My google-fu shows he may be talking about the Mitchell Unibody and Frame manual.

If he does not subscribe to a service because he does race-cars, and this is a racecar, then why is he asking for specs!

I would think that for a chumpcar, if the wheelbase is not a parallelogram, and suspension pick-up points are on a single plane (chassis not twisted), you should be good to go. It's not like you will be chasing panel gaps or door fit.
