I have my baller -16AN radiator setup for sale outta my hatch if anyone wants it. Fluidyne DC2 radiator with -16 bungs welded on. Moroso high pressure 16psi cap and neck with -3AN overflow fitting. I have the thermostat housing as well, just don't have the part for the head or hose. I'd sell all for $300.

Is there a reason that nobody is running hydroboost on any honda's on here? I've never seen them on a honda before but we run them on alot of the bagged minitrucks we build. Would really clean up up the engine compartment that much more IMO. Just wondering if there was a reason, or if it just hasn't been done yet.

Re: (PandaHatch)
No they have hydroboost that is mounted under the dash. Cleans up the engine compartment quite a bit. Used to come on some older chevy vans stock. Theres alot of kits out there, just wondered why nobody had considered running one so there would be no booster in the engine bay. Heres what I was talking about http://www.kugelkomponents.com....html

Oh ok, was just wondering because it seems like people are taking the shaving and tucking pretty far these days (which im glad to see some fab work going on) but was just wondering why people didn't take it to the next level. I've seen it on some other import cars, but never on a honda before. Anyone got any pics?

Kevin's AE86 is ******* awesome. We were parked together during Nisei 06 and I couldn't take my eyes off his fab work and creativity.

Reading OWNZ JOO TOO!
The guy with the K-swapped DB8 and engine bay cage did it. It actually was discussed not that long ago. What kits are you referring to? Other than Kugel and Tilton, of course...

I would use the process in which you fuse two pieces of metal together, often refered to as "welding."

Re: (NAallTheWAY)
I'd like to have a better pic of this bay for pg1 (better angle). ATSEK20 I think it is. A pretty sweet rad hose/catch can set up.

I used a cutoff wheel and cut them down to a nub. then grinded the leftover down smooth with the firewall.
