del slo Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 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?
Nancy Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 im pretty sure you change the radiator support and maybe tweak the fender walls a little. but heres a picture. i hate it.
del slo Posted January 28, 2008 Author Posted January 28, 2008 yea i know all about that its the radiator support lenght that gets me..... some people say you need to elongate it some say you shave the hood a bit i just need someone who has done it
TS John Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 And that is one of the nicest onces I've seen done, too. I just don't get it, personally.
airjordan223 Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 yea i know all about that its the radiator support lenght that gets me..... some people say you need to elongate it some say you shave the hood a bit i just need someone who has done it 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?
James Matteu Posted January 29, 2008 Posted January 29, 2008 Weird, I actually like that. I wonder what it looks like from behind.
Ben. Posted January 29, 2008 Posted January 29, 2008 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.
del slo Posted January 29, 2008 Author Posted January 29, 2008 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
del slo Posted January 29, 2008 Author Posted January 29, 2008 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
del slo Posted January 30, 2008 Author Posted January 30, 2008 gggrrrrr another day of hood frustration..... someone has to know what to do!!!!!!!!!!
