Type-R Conversion

Duo · 01-06-2009, 01:01 PM

Was playing around the idea for a while now and was wondering if it really is possible to take your regular Si coupe and swap out the front end with the Type-R FD2's instead. So does anyone know if it's been done?

Anyway asked my girlfriend to help me out cause I can't use photoshop to save my life. Here's what she came up with:

Feel free to post your versions as well. I wanted to do it with the Type-R wing and Mugen Civic RR aluminum hood but we couldn't do it. Help please!

I don't even own a Civic yet but I was thinking for maybe down the line or a used one as a DD.

anything is possible as long as there is enough moneys.

JDM FD2 conversation on the FG2 will require many modifications to make it fit unlike the FA5.

someone should do it they would be the first one to do a fd2 conversion on a coupe

Don't you just need the front fenders and maybe the mounts on top of the JDM parts?

well, from what i've heard if you can't convert the FG2 front end into the FA5 front end with out modifications then of course that will goes the same for the FD2, may require more than just front fenders and mounts.

Mugen RR Experimental front (minus the aluminum hood)

chugiboi · 01-06-2009, 04:19 PM

Oh_itSs_Si · 01-15-2009, 11:22 PM

jackolee · 01-15-2009, 11:29 PM

Oh_itSs_Si · 01-15-2009, 11:33 PM

damn i wish both of them are the same lol

K20z3 Civic Si [PHONG] · 01-15-2009, 11:37 PM

I think the sedans front is a bit longer than the coupe.

jackolee · 01-15-2009, 11:43 PM

the front bumper?

K20z3 Civic Si [PHONG] · 01-15-2009, 11:47 PM

The front bumper would probably the only thing you wouldnt need to modify
