Yeah same here. When mine went out I just did a quick brain storm on how to avoid it happening again. It more piece of mind for me then anything.

If your engine is original, its on the back of the block, next to the oil filter, its green, usually has a big black boot covering it, and it has 2 wires.

If you have a 92+ sohc, its on the T stat housing, brown in color I believe, and has 2 wires.

I havent had a fan switch go bad on me yet.

It shouldn't cause problems being always on except in the winter with it not getting up to temp. It's just not the right way to fix the problem. Assuming u have a swapped car, the fan switch is on the thermostat housing.

I've got a DA lip and it fits very well. The shape of the bumper is nearly identical, but the DA's is several inches longer on each side so it has to be trimmed.

DA...



1st Gen Integra...




You can also do EF Si lip, but it's too short...


or the VW lip if you like the big lip look...

I was looking at custom plates for the wagovan and thought since I'm rocking the super RAPs on there I'd call it the RAPOVAN...

its not hard to hook the cooling fan up correctly. Most of the time they stop working right because people remove A/C and don't wire the fan back up right:
