8th gen radiator shroud

It helps, even if not by a lot. I run the canyons a lot too, so every bit of cooling helps.

the idea makes sense, i just wasnt sure if it would do THAT much, but if you do this, along with a functioning hood scoop like vortex has it would be great.

btw i run canyons too...or should i say fly....

so how do those websites work? meaning...the price...lol

hoodscoops are useless unless it feeds into and sealed to a intercooler like on a WRX or GT4

^^Exactly. It's just makes the motor dirtier. The only thing that would somewhat work is cowl induction on a specially designed hood. And those lead to intakes too.

read "Further Testing as a Result of the Data Being Seen During Testing:" a little more than half way down the page.

with the weapon-r i have you get that ram air kit that has a part you can attach to it that is about...8-9 inches wide and maybe 2 inches tall so you can put that behind the scoop....thats what my plan was anyway..



^ lol fuck 89.95

I love that picture. That's exactly why I'm building my own. LOL Good read btw!

I guess my cardboard template is good enough then? LOL HAHAHAHA

Looks like metal is out of the question unless I can get a metal fabrication company to make it for me. I simply cannot make clean enough cuts on metal. Looks like fiberglass is the winner here.

i spoke to a sheet metal fabricator a few months back and they wanted like $100.. I thought about laying one in carbon fiber but I just like the aluminum look better. so i'm just going to buy one that's pre fabricated

I've been looking and carbon fiber seems pretty straightforward. I found the perfect resin for it too.

just practice doing som flat plates and you'll get the hang of it. I perfer silmar 249A resin. system 3 makes some good epoxy resins but they cost mucho dinero.

Yeah, I'm going to have playing around with this. If I can get this down, I'll try making a carbon fiber under panel after the cooling plate.

This is the resin I'm looking at.

This video is very informative.

OMG I'm going to need two slightly longer than 2 feet pieces of glass, not to mention the carbon fiber, resin, and filler. haha Expensive...

i'd start of with a polyester resin.. much cheaper and you could probably find it at local places.

I just finished watching the video. It's going to be a lot of work. LOL Ok, I'll hit up my local parts stores and look for polyester resin. I need to find to huge pieces of glass too. Does plexiglass work too?

nah, PMMA is more porous than glass. I found a big piece of glass someone threw out on the street and just took it. Check out some marine supplies stores, you could usually get fiberglass and CF by the yard, resins, and tools like rollers and brushes.

Lucky bastard. LOL

i like the undershroud

That will be my second project.

My only gripe with carbon fiber besides being expensive to make, is that it's going to be really hard to cut. My blades are going to get roasted. LOL

what happened to stopping your corolla project and saving up for the wrx? LOL

It's not a major modification. LOL Plus it gives me something to do while I wait for the car to get fixed. Everything I learn now I can use on the WRX.

Someone set up a group buy. Save us some funds...

I'm debating whether or not I should contract a metal shop company to make it for me if I supply the measurements and template.

However, unless I order a lot, prices won't be cheap.

yeah...you. since you brought it up. lol.

rollatuner, so i guess you're gonna JDM ur WRX too huh? lol

haha I guess you can say that, but only to a point. I'm actually going to rally it. hehe I don't like owning something I can't use to the limit.

Well, I doubt there's enough interest to warrant contracting a metal fabrication company to make cooling plates. I'll try with carbon fiber and plexiglass for now. If they come out somewhat decent, they will have to be custom orders. lol

id be down if you were going to do it.....

i really want this for my 7th gen. ill be contacting mfab later when i get my first pay check. who do i ask for?

ask for me? but we dont sell it LOL.

cant you import it? i cant read crap on that site. i need the help of an expirenced importing company

yeah ima call and be like, "can i talk to the dude with the corolla?"

i can but it's just easier and cheaper getting it from kamispeed.. and I will be getting mines from the philippines

oh, no, im talking about the under side panel.

wait i just went back and saw that its for ae111

I'd be willing to make under panels for 7th gens as well. I just need a donor car for measurements.
