im lookin at a 97 ek hatch. first off in order for the 99-00 front conversion... what exactly is needed? and can i keep my headlights?

The guy tells me that it is a stolen recovery. It has a built up ls/vtec w/ gsr head and tranny. p72 ecu (which i know is right). It says type-r pistons. It also says not running. All it needs is a dizzy and wires to run. He wants 2800 obo is it worth it?

 

you'll need:

- Fenders
- Hood
- Bumper
- Headlights
- Core Support?

And if you have the ability to fix/maintain the car then why not?

that's right I knew there was a little trick to getting it on there

 

In the DIY section of this forum there is a guy who posted exactly what you need for the swap. Also he has an illustrated step by step instructions on how to make it all fir perfectly...

*That is the link, hope it helps.*

 

From what I understand, the radiator support isn't really needed but it will definately make it look and fit a lot better if you swap in the appropriate support. Otherwise you're in for cutting slots or hammering pieces in.
