yea I smiled and sent our rep an email for a hat or something like that :)
I def want to see the battery relocation cause its next on my list.....we will be in touch :) |
why are yall relocating the battery to the trunk?--Just like to work on it like me?
Remember the cars engine bay air flow design is to exit under the car. Removing stuff from the rear of the fans assembly will upset that as the fan will then blow directly toward the engine--into the engine bay. It will no longer be redirected to get under the car. This is also going to increase the engine bay air pressure making air flow through the radiator a little more difficult. If you do move the battery--put a shield over the top part of the fan assembly to redirect that air flow toward the bottom of the engine or duct it out throught a vented hood. Now THAT would be nice! |
I am 1 step ahead :)......I am going to make a shelf that goes over the cross member with a lip that acts like a air foil :) I have read alot about the increased temp but never considered the pressure difference....hmmmm...still going to do it because its in the way
|
+1 same for me. Please make me a tray too please.
|
only if I can sarx it? :)

You must have dealt with Tim (mustache) this time. The other guy is a prick. |
oh yea, maybe it was a different guy....its been a while
|
Tim always goes out of his way to help, the other guy acts like I'm ruining his whole fucking day. The only thing I can guess is that they get some type of commission and he looks at me as small customer where as Tim knows I have been there a billion times and while I never spend a shit ton I have spent a good deal of money there and continue to come back.
|
thats what he told me...just give us more business...I said "with service like this you got it"
|
What did you get adapters for? Oil relocation?
|
yea, I sent back my -10an anodized for a much cheaper 1/2npt cast adaptor...saved a bunch of $$$

yep....I kid of did that for break in and I cant say I have babied it at all over the last 700miles but yesterday was the hardest for sure :).....but I think I am going to have to just sell it and buy a S2000 ;)
|
S2000 really .. I like that car but I'm rotary fanatic I could never switch .. now a NSX maybe lol
|
sorry man, it was a total joke.....I actually hate the s2000 :)
|
If it makes you feel any better I took a long drive last night and ended up toying with and embarrassing an S2000 :) It was a fun drive.
|
it does :)
so went for a cruise and decided to check codes (since I stare at a apv code) and lo and behold code p0661 SSV solenoid valve control circuit low ON 2 CCM (could this be the "blip" I felt the other day?) also did a "pm" on my sunroof because it has been chattering as it opens and the MF broke....barely got it closed.....time to throw it away and go cf :P |
I had that same code, I swapped out the vacuum solenoids. I have some extras we can test and then replace yours if need be. Did you block off the one that went to your air pump? I can't remember.
