I've never really figured out the point of "teasers" but here you go. It's only a teaser because it's all I have done so far. lol

I finally found some time to get a few things crossed off my list. Today I installed my neon radiator, slim fan, and fabed up some mounts for my FMIC.

Talk about freeing up some space, with the neon radiator in there I have sooo much room!

Fit's in there like a freakin glove...



A taste of things to come...



On a side note, I found some Hop Trip Ale!! I can honestly say that this is some of the absolute best beer I have ever tasted. They take the hops straight from the hop farm and drop them in the beer three hours later. It doesn't get any fresher than that!!

How the ---- do you fill that rad up? Is it sideways?

SpankedYA!

Not sideways. Looks like a neon rad. You put a cap in the hose. They are shorter than EG units so they fit better heightwise.

How thick is that radiator? Looks like 2.5 or so inches, you definitely freed up some room there. How does it perform in comparison with that of the civic? looks good

I fill it up with this:



The core is the same thickness as the stock Civic radiator, so really thin. The slim fan I bought is supposed to be able to move a lot of air, so hopefully that makes up for the smaller size core. We will see.

Who ------ knows.... I am doing a little here and a little there. At this pace I won't be done until the end of the year. I still have a few things to buy, but I have to sell some stuff before I can buy them.

I'm not really in any hurry though. As long as it's done before next year's autocross season (around April), I will be happy.

I'm not building this car for drag racing, although I might take it down the strip a time or two for fun. I'm not aiming for big power either. I want mid range and reliability.

I want to be able to keep up with some of the other cars in the Street Mod class. I did pretty well last season but with a little boost and a new tire combo (13" Lenso VPDs and V710s) and I should be equiped to be at the front of my class. That is if I can drive well enough (a whole nother topic ).

koreanwilcox

Not yet, I will pick some up in the spring time.
