got mine from a friend shop, it was on a car that they pulled a motor out off to use for a swap, so they sold it to me for cheap, and installed it.

modine dual core for a 92 and newer civic, smaller looking size, but has same surface area as stock.

How did you mount it? can you use stock hoses? i think i will need a half rad when i got turbo.

the hoses taht are in my car are for the 90-93 teg since i have the b18a in my car i had to use those, the rad isn't completely secured down like it should be, but once i get about $300.00 it will be, so i can by a custom front crossmember for it to sit properly on.

Looks good Jspec, The mats are nice. How does the exhaust sound?

sounds like a stock SRT-4 exhaust, deep and rumble, instead of loud and raspity, it's alot softer sounding then most aftermarket exhuast.

nah, body work i can do, but the actual paint job i have a freind lined up, who painted my 1st hatchie, adn he didi a sweet job, so he's doing this one for me, but for smoothing her out i can get that done, just need to get my new garage set up over the next month then i can rip back into her.

i need some body work too, well fenders and my pass. headlight and pulled out or something, its pushed back and down a bit, before i paint my car im might get wither CF ZC hood, or Fiberglass ZC hood.

[Tom]

soon hopefully, once if i ever get my garage prepped first, then i'll take a swing at it, lol.

 

[Kurtis]

nice civi mang Ive been wanting to see your ls hatch. Also thnx for the info a couple weeks back . Now we got just about everything done but the exhuast. I dont see the point into buying a fancy peice of pipe so im working on my own. . Im to lazy to run it over the axle so tommorow im just gonna cut what ive done and run it out the side with a old ls1 exhaust tip I got.
