Ive seen a diagram of a DC2 showing where every spot weld is that holds the subframe on. Im sure one for an EG would be very helpful to a lot of people, myself included...any volunteers?

Re: how to take out old eg radiator support and put on new one (b20vtech)
Glad someone's doing this. I have a bent support in my car and the hood won't latch the whole way. It's like $90 on ebay for a new support. I was wondering how to do it. I can't wait to see the picks so I can do this to mine. When you put the bolts in...is it as safe as welding it? I have to get my car inspected so I don't want to do it and it won't pass inspection.

Re: (b20vtech)
First of all, why are you doing this? Second how come you can't see the spot welds? is it rust? You can wire brush with a wire wheel atached to the drill around the mount and they should be visible then. I had to relocate both mounts for my k swap and it was very easy thing to do. I have no pics though

Re: (b20vtech)
I just counted eighteen spot welds on each frame rail two right behind the headlights and two right near the corner lights for each side. I just started with a 3/16 drill bit and stepped up in 32nd's till I had all the weld drilled out.
My rad support came right off no problems.
