Radiator paint is the magic for a black intercooler. Mine is almost invisible.

Heat transfer through a thin layer of paint is pretty negligible. Then when you think about it, most of your heat transfer does not come from the leading edge of the tube/bar and fins. Its done across the whole surface area of every exposed part of the fins through the thickness of the whole intercooler. So unless you are dipping the intercooler into a bucket of paint the majority of the alum is not covered anyways. Such small differences that you would never notice a loss of cooling in datalogs


I love the car though. And for some reason i am really liking the way it looks. Even the non painted intercooler.

Zip tie intercooler brackets FTW! I used the biggest thickest ones i could find at home depot. They lasted for 3 years never broke. I had to do that because JB didnt stick to the cast endtanks for some reason.

Thanks

I actually dont really like that steering wheel any more. I'm looking to get a stock 92-95 eg 3 spoke non-airbag steering wheel

The seat I had since my old school CRX back in the day. it just kind of stuck around.
