EG to EK front end swap

[ML]

I red somewhere on hear that you can swap your EG front for a EK, it was the first i had heard of it, I was just wondering if anyone had done it or seen it done.do you think it would be an easy conversion. do you guys and girls think it would look good :?

[Mitch M]

wtf

would be different ... dunno how good it would look ...

[ML]

thats what i thort id never heard it done before i red it in one of these threds carnt remember what one but

[SIKCVC]

neva even heard of it... obviously theres an engine swap between them but thats all i've ever heard of.

[ML]

na not engin i mean pannels

[SIKCVC]

spose it could be done... might be a fair bit of work though :P Dunno... why dont you buy some front panels and try :P might be as simple as a Sileighty Swap over or a Strawbury S15...?

PS strawbury s15 might be called something else... I'm pretty sure thats what i read it was called.

[VTEC16]

iv seen it on US forums....

why would you?

I’ve seen an EG with an Integra front end and a Del sol with an EK and an EG front ends. I’m guessing it would be a major conversion needing front guard’s bonnet and bumper and lights. Plus you would need your standard guards to mould the two together as it wouldn’t be a direct bolt on. basically not worth the hassle but if you still want to do it, find a panel shop that does custom work, I’m sure there are places on the gold coast that do, just expect to pay well over 5 grand for it. The only way that it is viable is if u are or know a panel beater that won’t charge you for labour I still wouldn’t like to know what all the parts would cost.

i have thort of getting guards and trying its just im real lazy and havent been botherd.
why would i? why not? its obvious its not a common conversin i have also thort of gen3 crx as they have the same shape engin bay

I know how to do it. I was going to do it but ended up selling the car instead. If you are genuinely interested pm me and I will give you the email of the person who sells step by step instructions (with fotos), and i can also tell you where you can source all the parts cheap in Australia. Basically you will need EK bonnet, guards, radiator support, headlights and front bumper. Installation isnt that hard if the panel beater knows what they are doing. You can change it to EK or integra, all the same. It would probably best suit someone who has had some front end damage and has to repair the car anyway. But if you got the $$$ go for it.

[Dvius_Honda]

Actually, looks like he isnt selling the instructions anymore as he put them up on his website:

Take a look at his car for an awesome example of a civic.

If you want cheap parts, check out www.ozeparts.com.au. They sell aftermarket versions of the original parts which I found are much cheaper than the wreckers. eg. $170 for a bonnet, $100 a headlight etc. This is the type of parts the guy used to do his conversion. Let me know how it goes if you go ahead because i spent alot of time looking into it and never got around to doing it before selling my car.
