The glass is all out. I'll be doing the last of the weight removal clean up this week and then it's body prep time.

why did u buy an auto radiator? Does it just hand off the chain like that?? I would think that would be to small of a radiator for the k series.

That's the stock radiator size for an EG. It may be too small, but this is only for 1/4 mile runs. It's hanging from the chain because I don't have the OEM gromits for the Karcepts kit.

Ordered them today (that and the lower mounts are being held in place by clamps and need to be adjusted a little).

Also, MANY k swapped cars are running an EG radiator. Hence the market Karcepts have for making relocation brackets.

U could go with a Del Sol VTEC Dual core. Its the same size just twice as thick

If cooling really becomes an issue, I'll spring for the 3 core alum rad. I just don't think that it will.

Well, I decided to save a few bucks (a few hundred for that matter) and paint my own car.

Started with this:









I primed it with Rustoleum Automotive Sandable primer. Sanded it down, and put on 3 coats of flat black. The pictures below look bad since the car is still drying from me wet sanding it. I couldn't wait since it was getting dark. There are a few places I want to go over, but for $100, I could care less.

This is not a show queen, so if you don't like it, that's fine. I'll still whoop your ass up and down the 1320...and look GOOD doing it.
