I have an 89 hatch that i was wondering on putting a eg style front. I saw a crx with the eg style front on it. I wanted to know if anyone has done this and how hard it was to complete. Please if u have done it post it with pics please. Thanks

 

looks good to me,shouldnt be hard if you have a welder and know hot measure




THeres also a nice gold one i remember seeing on ef-honda.com,but dont know where pictures are

No ****. And then told not to post this crap in the forum where a chopped car will be bashed upon, and that it needs to go in the hybrid forum.

 

if that is real i think it looks sick. y didnt honda produce that.

 

Heres oneI did about a year and a half ago, pain in the ***...

 

anyone do a write up on the conversion and a parts list. Do u use the whole eg hood and so forth. Thanks

 

HAHAHA&lt; i ask the same question,

 

starting with a complete EF you need the EG hood, fenders, front bumper cover, and the upper portion of an EG radiator support. I left most of the factory core support intact, basically just removing the "eye brows" if you will above the headlights.hood bolts on but needs trimming of the bottom side to clear the EF cowl, the hood acts as a reference point for everything else... ie where the radiator support welds in, where the tips of the fenders should end etc. Fenders were cut just in front of the arch on both the EF and EG fenders, Tips of the EG fenders welded to the EF fenders, the gaps get really big between the fender and hood towards the cowl. I cut an 8" slit on the top of the fender, then opened the slit and re-welded them to make the gap right... Thats it in a nutshell, this process makes the front of an Ef about 4" longer. Don't flame me for doing it, Would have gone back to stock if I had stock parts laying around.... Just happend to have an EG front end laying around

 

for the craftsmanship
for the waste of time and resources

 

dont put a square peg in a round hole

the ef body lines just dont match with egs

 

doesnt flow well at all.

the moldings surround the car from fender, door, 1/4 panel, rear bumper, 1/4 panel, door, fender, and stop at the front bumper.


wtf!?

 

its ok looking. but ef stock looks way better.

 

^ definately, props for the work... but the round front dont match the square back.....

you probably coulda sold the eg front, bought an ef front, and had extra $$ and lots of time to spare....

+1. You'd have to shave all the mouldings, and probalby swap the EG rear bumper cover (if possible) to get that to flow. That having been said, it honestly has some potential. I would never EVER do it--but a very well-executed one could look surprisingly good.

Yeah, because god forbid people swap parts across generations of Civic. If a B16 in an EF isn't an abomination, then neither is this.

. . . okay, well, THIS is, I guess, but you get my point.

I don't get your point. B16's came in EF's all over the world (unfortunately not here) there is a huge difference in swapping the front end of an eg onto an ef and installing an engine in an EF that was there to start with albeit in other countries

Because they DON'T smoke crack!!! That front end belongs no where near an EF and ANYbody with an actual eye for style and design can see this right away. I understand trying to be different but this s just plane stupid looking....period

 

For me personaly I think that you should leave the ef alone and the eg alone...swapping stuff like engines, brakes and suspension is totally different. That stuff is for performance. But if you like it do it, and do it right.

 

I'm not one to hate on someone doing something different. HT is all about OEM or JDM and if your not in that its "rice". I'm a very open minded person but an EG front end on an EF looks out of place. The ef is boxy while the eg is round. Front end does not match the rest of the car.

Yager-

 

That thing is a ugly *** MUTT!
