The Honda Civic EG is a fifth generation of Civic which was produced from 1992 to 1995. The core support is a buffer made from hard rubber that fits around the car's radiator and protects it from damage. Over time, the rubber core support can dry out and crumble. If this occurs, the old radiator core supports should be removed and replaced with new ones. This process takes around two hours.
