I am considering building a honda and would like to have some input on what would be a good chassis to begin with. I know all hondas can be made light, so I am more concerned about chassis rigidity and parts availability (probably not a problem with any honda). Should wheelbase be a major concern? My personal preferences are ef hatchs and dc2s followed by eg hatchs. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I would like to set it up primarily for autox.

Realistically any chassis will do for autocross because it's not the car that makes you fast (at least for the 1st 2-4 years) it's you who makes the car fast.

Longer wheel bases like coupes and sedans are more stable under hard braking and cornering. Whereas hatchbacks are snappy - meaning get ready to work out your sphincter

Start out with a EG Civic Si or the 2nd gen CRX Si. Both good platforms to start out with. The 99-00 Civic Si might get bumped into HS which I think would do pretty well in that class against the Mini Cooper.

But remember mod the driver or nut behind the wheel before the car.
