Default Removing Lower core support?

so im looking at my DA and i cant help notice how much my lore core support gets in the way.

this is a street/strip car. i also use hood pins. I am wondering if any of you guys have removed that section and have had zero issues..

Pics would help as well.

Core support or subframe? Core support holds the bottom of the radiator, so you would need a solution for that. Subframe holds the radius rods, so delete that and replace it with a traction bar. Hope that helps.

I removed both. Installed a traction bar and welded on tabs for the radiator.

Well my car is actually a 3g prelude, but its the same basic idea. I dont have a pic showing the tabs welded on, but its straight forward.

my car had front end damage from when i use to DD it, so when i went to fix it i just bought the outer sheet metal of the core support from honda rather then the whole support. Its a ef civic but if the pics help i have a couple...

but removing the support shouldnt be an issue, just yea need some other means of mounting the radiator etc.

good luck man.

Same here. Well on an ef but its practically the same car. I mounted the rad to the traction bar and there is also a tab off the top of my intcooler that mounts to the hood latch T bracket piece. Still really solid up front.
