dirty EJ2

By IdealPerformanceIndy
- Tue Feb 26, 2008 6:52 pm #43797 This is my dirty 93 coupe. It needs a lot of work.

Temporarily rattle-canned a stock hood, as the carbon fiber hood that came on the car when I bought it was screwed up.

Fat fives.

You can see the screwed up radiator support in this picture, with the crusty one-row full-length radiator from an Integra or something.:
Image

Undergoing some surgery.

Looks like everything lines up.

Mods:

power.
H22/M2A4
DC header that is going in the garbage
2.5" crush bent that is going in the garbage

suspension/rollers.
GCs/KYBs, up way too high in the front, had to order new perches because of some seized screws, surprise...
fat fives

inside.
EX cluster
some pretty shift knob that came with the car
it came with a blue Momo wheel so I ditched that

I hate paying for labor, especially when I weld.

There are two bolts that attach the bumper support that thread into the frame rail through the core support on each side. Those holes plus the threaded fender mounts above each corner light, those bolts run through the core support as well. I figured those four bolts ought to locate it and mounted the hood latch and lowered the hood with the fenders mounted. Everything seemed to line up. So I grabbed a headlight and set it in place just to check. I must have gotten interrupted or let the dogs out. When I came back and took it all apart to extend some wiring through the inner fenders, I knocked the headlight on the ground and snapped one of the mounts off the bucket. $57 mistake. :thumbdown:

Wow, that sucks... unexpected costs suck! Thats a good way of lining it up, but my frame rails are bent so i have to be creative.
