hey turbo guys do you have any expirience w/ this

does your license plate cause any loss to your IC efficiency, from blocking some of the air flow,..?

don't flame just an honest Q.

I just moved mine to the side to be safe.
I don't think it degrades the performance of the intercooler *that* much..

mey_xanng

hey that's pretty trick how'd you mount it?

turbopanda

Easy! Two L-shaped pieces of aluminium. Then basically drilled holes and mounted them onto the license plate with nuts'n'bolts.. then mounted the other end of the pieces of aluminium to the inside of the bumper on the top. I hope I explained it in a way that you can understand Just look closely at the pic, I think you'll be able to figure out where I mounted it onto the bumper

oh Ok, like one end of the aluminum 'L' is on the plate the other on the car, how do you mount the alum. onto the car, by drilling and skrews.. or... adhesive...

hey are you really in Thailand right now?

No. The air flow is going to just go straight around the plate, and go right through the IC anyway's.

This would only be a problem if you had a IC only as big as your plate, and the plate was right infront blocking the air flow.

here's mine...

that is one CLEAN civic... nice job, did you just drill holes in your bumper?

inspyral

Thanx, it's less clean in person.
My bumper is jacked(lip broke off, chipped and cracked here and there) so I didn't really care about drilling into it.

Drilling and screws.. yes. If you remove it, you won't see any holes unless you get down on your knees and look on the underside of the bumper.. but who would ever bother to look there, right?


yes I am. one out of a handful of people here on HondaTech who drive RHD hondas

thx

hey how are the prices of performance parts in Thailand compared to the US?

my cousin went to Thailand last year, and he said everythings extremely cheap

turbopanda

Some things are cheap.. some things are expensive..
there's a good second-hand market here, and you can usually find a lot of bargains on aftermarket performance parts.

although defi meters over here still cost the same, if not a "little" bit cheaper than you guys over in the US. really depends on what you're looking for..
