Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
Now we can hopefully end the debate on this one, lol! I know what I saw when doing DA t/a swaps. Great pics. Your rear fitment looks a lot better.

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
think he's older than that...i though he was driving his sons car, but he started going into detail about the swap and how he made the mounts and positioned the radiator and what not, surprised me and a few other people that was out there
this was his last car, what the engine came out of...you can see him in the top right corner

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
Okay question for any of you guys that have done your own paint and body work - CBE I'm looking at you...lol
My car is white and the clear is gone or going in spots, I want to maybe just refresh the white, maybe rattlecan, maybe I'll pick up a gun (I have a small compressor) What do you recommend to remove the rest of the clear before painting?

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
Unless your small compressor can pump over 150psi forget that idea. At least I think it's 150psi and you want it to be large so you dont just lose all your pressure with a couple sprays. Can't really give you any tips beyond that.

a small compressor can handle it you just have to do it slow and be sure you can maintain a 25 or so psi for several minutes. Might think about painting one panel at a time.
btw white is a good color to try this out

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
Does anyone have any pics of exactly where/how far in I need to dent in my frame rail for a B-series swap (I know it's somewhere below the driver's side shock tower...)?
I just purchased a mini-sledge and I'm waiting to bash the hell out of my car

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
Thanks guys,
Clearanced it perfectly with plenty of room to spare. The B17a1 looks at home in the engine bay
.
Did any of you guys have to dent in your rear crossmember near the rear engine mount bracket? I'm going off of Hasport's online directions (using Hasport mounts).
