Tony Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 Owner bought a second hand typeR from a Honda dealer and noticed odd handling at speed.... Two external company's measured the chassis and found this> 1: First company only measured the primary angles so missed the point entirely 2: Second company measured the full chassis and determined the rear camber angles where way to deep Honda then changed the rear upper link arms in the hope this would resolve the complaint...... Wrong. The owner came to us with both reports and we measured the chassis and concluded this..... 1: Both company's used the wrong datum, using the Civic datum rather than the Civic typeR datum 2: Correctly compared to the typeR datum the real problem was the front castor positions not the rear camber Both company's and Honda missed this obvious error in the data overlap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why you started WIM so you can teach them/us how it's done properly. I'm sure the owner was very happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted February 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 He was very disappointed once i disclosed all the errors, seemingly he now has a huge task educating Honda their calibrators have got it all wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
