hmmm i could see if it was a fiberglass or carbonfiber hood where it dose not use the factory mounts, but these people rock a factory hood. wtf is with the hood pins?
Ok, perhaps I should clarify my beehive comment. Doing a bunch of performance stuff to your car and not addressing that problem is dumb. hmmm, maybe thats not rice. OK its not, its still a gross piece of equipment.

'83 was kind of a crossover year... it had many Series 3 changes (driveshaft/flange, rotor/flywheel weight, oil cooler) but it still technically was a Series 2.

I have everything I need to do a proper cooler swap, all hoses necessary and even the heater pipe that goes along the framerail... but I might not do it. Call it a lingering concern that a Large Immobile Object will take out the oil cooler. Thoughts of future rallycrossing instead of drag racing also factor into this.

*sobs*heh, my electrics are coming on tuesday, i cant wait to get rid of the clutch fan from hell (siezed in tornado mode) and the squealing belts... 2 things i wont miss at all.
i also degreased my engine today, and fixed all but one *the tiniest one* of my exhaust leaks, and cleaned the right bay of my garage.

I saw a Civic with hood pins yesterday... it was a well trashed one and the reason it had hood pins is because evidently the hood latch failed. Evidently because the hood had some very interesting non-factory contouring to it.
Funny, it's the same reason I had hood pins on my first Subaru. When the hood opens at 50mph, it will really wake you up, it's instantaneous WHAM and you are looking at nothing but hood and cracked glass.
Hood pins are actually useful on 1st-gens. Yes, on the rear of the hood. You set it up with plates on the pins and you hold the hood about an inch or so up so hot air can escape up instead of down under the car.

Man, If those idiots were ever home I'd have gotton that thing a year ago when I first stopped and looked at it. Oh well, all I really wanted was the rear end, and I ended up getting a better one from someone. Looks like you guys will have to fight it out
