locations of stress damage?
Ok I've heard a lot about the flex in the thirdgen chassis. One of the most obvious places is in the roof near the top corner of the doors. Aside from this where else does stress damage form? I’ve read somewhere about high torque cars damaging the underbody,or needing to be reinforced somehow?? Also what can be done to strengthen these weak spots?
Please share any info on either, so we can all benefit from stronger chassis.
This will be the running list:
