Interesting that I just read a Motortrend article on the new Honda Civic Type R. It gets more seam adhesive and where welds are used they are spaced .8” apart vice the 1.6” apart for the normal Civic. That equates to two additional hours in the weld shop.
The article does not mention the resultant increase in stiffness, but This technique obviously works and their concern for altered crush zones does not trump their desire for performance I realize that the crash protection in these modern cars utilize many measures not incorporated in our 60’s designed structures, but it is an interesting point to consider |
