For 97-98 ITR owners that did not have the air installed at the dealer, Is there anything in front of your radiator, from the factory, (where the a/c condensor would go if so equipt) that would help protect it from debris?

Thanks,
Mattj

mines all open, but in the next few weeks i hope to feel the spot with a large intercooler

 

I don't know of anything from the factory.But if you wanna go rice you can put that wire mesh crap in the grille.

 

put some screen door mesh in there....works great and cheap

 

i have ricy mesh in my grille. i also have a big ricy intercooler, and a ricy fully built engine. guess im just a big 'ol rice boy.

mines all open also

anyone need a complete AC from a 97 ITR?

 

I didn't think in 97's it was even an option? if the system is sealed I will buy it depending on how much you want.

 

First of all an Intercooler is not Rice! and a motor being built is not Rice! but a big funky wire mesh grille is Rice!.When you clutter your car all up when big and funky crap that is Rice!.Such as fiberglass whale bone lookin for a spoiler that weighs the car down more than anything.Or those stickers that people put on their cars that try to make em look like there on the "Fast and the Flourescent".

 

is it rice if its functional? guess im just getting old, and maybe im just not "hip" with the new "lingo" you hard core racers use. i personally like to keep rocks away from my expensive intercooler, and i even like people not knowing i have one. i guess stealth is rice these days.

some people might think spending 3000+ on some bodywork and headlights when you could be buying go-fast parts and dyno time is ricy. i personally dont believe in rice. to each his own.

 

Here is integrated109's Riced Out Type R (notice the Rice Wire Mesh) But notice you can't see the oh my god intercooler either. Rev if you must but don't cry when you lose.

 

Why not just paint the intercooler black?

 

Be careful with those grille mesh. If you track the car, the water temp. could get a bit high!! Because it disturbs the air flow!!!

Run a water to air intercooler then you trailer queen

Craig - Who knows Ed drives the crap out of his car and is just pulling his chain

 

We also have XTC. Very cheap. I like LSD because my car likes it too....

 

Yeah, why not paint the intercooler black, and remove the mesh.

 

Quote from integrated109 "i personally like to keep rocks away from my expensive intercooler."

Thats why painting it black won't help. Also painting an intercooler rasies the temp, because it makes the aluminum retain heat, and if not done right could clog passages.
