First off...

sorry Todd for being a traitor ;)

anyways, i'm officially boosted. Some of you may have seen me at the track this past weekend. I will release good pics and more info after HIN this weekend.

For now, heres a teaser,

 

Greddy Kit?

 

got any time slips?

 

its a heavily modified greddy setup yes...
and itsme, are you from forest park in springfield?

as for timeslips, i ran 4 times but they were all just test sessions, the weekend after HIN is when i should have some nice times.

 

nice. but why the mesh on the lower?

 

i think he wants to keep it a sleeper look going on

 

^you got it

and it protects the intercooler

 

Looks awesome Brandon. I can't wait to see some times and numbers.

If you can take some videos.

 

video is in the works ;)

 

I like the mesh over the intercooler, keeps it stealth.

*edit* I'm jealous and wish that I wasn't mechanically retarded lol

 

i don't think a BRIGHT RED xa is very stealthy at all, probably gets plenty of attention. but the mesh hides the intercooler giving it a sleeper look.

 

naw no where near there haha im from forest park in Georgia at the edge of Atlanta city limits

 

Looks good man!! I do the same thing also to protect the intercooler and also to avoid unwanted attention from both police and random kids that want to race.

 

Rabid_Lemming where u at in GA??

 

I'm by Alpharetta/Cumming area.

 

pretty cool..... but of course, you KNOW WE NEED details!! Posting that picture without any others and no info, thats not very nice is it??

 

+1^^^ Whats so "heavily modified" about the kit...and congrats on being boosted, mad fun!!

 

you should paint/powder coat the I/C flat black. super stealthy! looks really good man! im jealous

 

do NOT paint the IC black..

BFurches, any install pics? How well did the IC fit?

Very nice!

 

I was going to have my intercooler anodized black for the look. It would've worked out real well if my brother wasn't studying to becomes an engineer... He decided with 2 or 3 of hid buddies to look at what effects anodizing an intercooler black will have on heat soaking. He came up with these numbers and conclusions: A black intercooler will heat up 250% more then a regular un-painted intercooler, but since its made out of aluminum and aluminum looses all heat VERY quickly then there is still a chance to paint it black. After further study he decided to disregard the idea of the black IC because the intercooler is located next to your radiator and condensor, which release heat and that heat will be absorb by a black IC thats standing still in any situation. But for a race ONLY car that isn't driven every day and is only turned on for periods of time where the car is actually moving then you shouldn't have a problem. Since I like to circuit race and sometimes my car sits in the sun for 30 min. until my turn comes up, during that moment the IC will absorb all the heat from the track and kill the efficiency on the turbo.
