I believe all 93-97 Del sols, 92-95 civics and 94-01 integras can swap suspension. The ideal spring rates very between vehicles, not sure if that helps.
Re: Tell Us What You Did To Your EG/EK/Del Sol Today
Picked up the engines late last week, both are ready!
The 99 will be put back together first and gingerly broken in.
92' is still major work in progress... core support, bay cleaning and painting, then I'll worry about getting the engine seated.
Baby steps.

Got a great deal on aem short ram intake ... Installed it ... I have to say there feels like NO difference in performance ... Just a noticeable growl under hard acceleration ... I may take it off

That's all it really does...
Don't believe the hype!
There may a slight increase in HP, but not enough to notice.
It just plays well with other mods.
I run a Cold Air Intake on my daily, & I thought about removing it during the wet season (5-6 months here lol) but I just try to avoid deep puddles.
If you don't like the growl, try running from the header. Lol
My neighbors hate me, even though I try to keep quiet...

It was cheap luckily ... I am saving for a GSR swap but that's a while away so I figured I would try it ... I know on my 2000 GSR integra it made a noticeable difference . I guess I was hoping for more on a 1.6 dx non vtec motor but what did I expect ....
You can put lipstick on a pig but at the end of the day it's still a pig ...lol

With CAI/Air intakes it's like the "placebo effect".
It sounds more aggressive, & that in itself makes it seem like it works.
Honestly I can't say I've really seen any "real time benefits" with using them.
Like I said, they play well with other mods. IMO they're more dress up items.
You could spend money elsewhere for true HP gains.
Just my $0.02. :D
Re: Tell Us What You Did To Your EG/EK/Del Sol Today
hello everyone i dont ask alot of questions on here i mainly just read what i need to read and then go on my way
but this is something i feel like i need to ask
and i have not found anything like it on the net
last week a friend and i went for a drive down to osaka to pick up a dizzy my friend needed for his hatch
and the guy who sold it to us also had a hatch
but hear this!!!! he didnt have a back seat in it
he had a large trunk area and for the front seats he had a bench seat
like you would find in your old american cars
the bench seat was adjustable and fit three people in the front
didnt take any pics but after seeing that im now interested in trying it out on my eg but i have no clue where to get a bench seat
and it looked like he moved the e brake lever forwards about half a foot
the bench seat looked super comfy
just wondering if any of you have done anything like this

That's a good idea if you can find one. All of my swaps ended up with a SRI because I could not easily find/source a stock air box & piping that is matched to the engine.
I got an engine with just the top part of the air box once, though. Not really useful...

yeah I know hard parts to come by .. My plan is to buy a complete car for the swap . Trying to find one the wrecked for under 2000.00
I am also going from at to mt so I think it's my best choice
Re: Tell Us What You Did To Your EG/EK/Del Sol Today
Meh, an intake is an intake is an intake. My swap has an SRI. Why? Because for the price, it was the best option. Unless you live in Nazifornia, it really doesn't matter.
Re: Tell Us What You Did To Your EG/EK/Del Sol Today
After almost a year of sitting and no mechanical experience what's so ever she's finally running. Thanks to you guys here on HT, I've been able to get my car back on the road.

Re: Tell Us What You Did To Your EG/EK/Del Sol Today
Added a reworks front strut bar ... Had to be flipped to clear my intake ...
Also added a c-pillar brace ... Then added rear headrests so my kids wouldn't hit there head on the c-pillar brace ...lol
Re: Tell Us What You Did To Your EG/EK/Del Sol Today
Drove mine to the dentist today. Fist time in a month since I've started it. I'm starting to think I don't actually have any rod knock. Might start driving it again. If it blows, whatever. I should be done with the spare soon.
drove to work this afternoon and smelled smoke, then my sub quit working . I replaced all the fuses and blew them immediately, so it looks like I get to check everything out tonight
You should start with figuring out why you don't have a master fuse inline with your main power lead.
there is one, fifty amps. blew two 30 amp fuses at the amp itself then the inline fuse. I'm gonna start with all the wiring then move on to the capacitor and amp
