I see everyone cuts the bottom portion of the radiator support and keeps the factory top portion. For street comp would I have to keep the entire thing? Someone brought it to my attention saying my setup was illegal. The only thing i added was a crome moly bar under the top portion for support. Thanks for the input!

I don't see why that would be illegal. It doesn't do anything but support your radiator support and maybe your IC.

 

That is perfectly fine. People have been eliminating the lower rad support for years.

 

Ur traction bar will become ur lower radiator support

 

Yup and the lead bars. LOL.

 

Nice I did not know this was legal, is it legal for the 67mm class too? This saves me from buying a full rad support for my JDM conversion I can just buy the top piece and roll with it

 

I can't wait to see this car finnished. Sheepy you need a build thread asap.

 

Who's that someone? Obviously a hater. Shame on him.

 

I dont' know many cars that even keep the lower...

Funny who the one person is...

 

im having the same problem i have my jdm front and no support...but dont wanna spend 350 on a whole rad support and the intercooler is 12 in height and im sure im gonna have to cut the support..but im going with outlaw anyways...i cant run street..maybe i can just but the top piece and use hood pins for the hood..and not run the hood latch..

 

i brought it to his attn. in the way of i would hate to see some real nice work wasted. i saw there was alot of people bitching about rad supports last year! and before he painted the car i wanted to just out it out there to make sure he wasnt wasting his time! the car looks awesome and myself hate to do the work more than one time!

 

looks sick!!! whos needs a radiator support any way

 

very clean....I dont see a problem...

 

if you are going to run NSCRA T/S class then you must have the stock upper & side rad support there. it dosen't need to have the latch, just there should be no tubes on top if you tube it to brace or mount a rad ot intercooler that is fine. but must have a working headlight and bumper must mount to it. if you meet this you're good

 

Looks really clean, excellent work
