Those setrab cores are apparently very efficient.. I have been eyeing it for my car but it is $$$

my car never had it and I had no problems because of it.. EUDM/JDM bumper has a small steel edge piece inside and hooks onto two hangers that protrude each side of the IC..

cant you use your splitter to un-sag it. mine sags (frrom hitting cones) at the headlights so I put thick insulating foam between the IC pipe and the bumper skin, plus I still use the bottom cover (no splitter)

here.. you can see the reenforcement on the bumper and where it hooks into the bumper mount that bolts to the chassis instead of the crash bar on the US cars...

Not too many updates. Still waiting on motors from English. Really hoping to have them next week.

phouvanh busted out some IC piping for his car:





pics of first motor from English. This one is done we’re waiting on the second to get done so they can ship on one pallet.

@Meathooker gotta ask, how do I split up my ATI damper? I removed all the bolts but its still one piece. I'm trying to replace my timing belt, crank sensor and tensioner. TIA

You can take the damper off the hub. Usually just minor prying gets it off. If you need to take the hub off the crank, it's pressed on so you'll need a harmonic balancer puller, and then an installer to put if back on.

I did accidentally pulled the whole thing out since I could only find videos with Honda motors

btw i broke 2 Continental serpentine belts back to back. now I'm finding lots of strings and fibers inside my front cover. I have an AC compressor that was acting up
