i know you all dont like the conversion and you think it looks like ass and i should just leave stock but i dont really care what your opinion of my car is.... i am here for some information and i have my own tastes... if these are not your tastes please dont post telling me how bad it is.

 

 

 

now with that out of the way.... has anyone done it fully yet? i have the basics down and have acually begun the process but im having radiator support issues.... anyone know what to do?

im pretty sure you change the radiator support and maybe tweak the fender walls a little. but heres a picture. i hate it.

And that is one of the nicest onces I've seen done, too.

 

I just don't get it, personally.

nobody on this forum has done it, so its going to be hard to get some personal experience. you could just find that picture that nancy posted from cardomain, and send that guy a message and he might know, if he did the work. i havent heard of shaving the hood down, but what do you mean by that?

I did a DC swap on my EH2 I had a while back. Changing the support isn't as hard as you'd think. Drill out the welds on the existing radiator support and from there's it pretty much lining up the drilled points on the civic support and welding it up..

 

You'll want to do as much reinforcing as you can due to the fact you're messing with the radiator support period.

people shave the back side of the hood down due t the fact there is about 2 inches extra... by shaving the grind it off then smooth it over to look normal

the ek hood is a little bit longer than a del sol hood....... when you mount it up the hood will scrape when you open it .... people grind down the hood so it will not scrape
