car bra any good for temp use on the car when driving on the freeway.....thinking of getting one made up (going to b for dirt cheap thnx to mates contacts)...just want to avoid shit hitting the intercooler and bending the vents...getting a mesh on the intercooler was an option but not much room between the front bar and the intercooler...:(

any advice for me? :D

What material would the car bra be made of? Is it breathable? If not, how the hell are you meant to get air flow to your intercooler if you're blocking it? :blink:

I used to drive my car to work through the industrial estates, trucks everywhere, shit on the roads and never ending roadworks....Cooler was fine, copped a few bugs which wash off easily enough.

It was powdercoated, never had stone chips or anything

mine isnt...got too many of my vents bent from just one drive up and down from shepperton for deca...got heaps bent...so only coz i am getting one cheap and meant to be a good quality one i am thinking of getting it...but have no idea about them so was asking what material is the best and is it really a good option to prevent any furthur damage on the intercooler?

have too many stone chips on the car...the lip looks disgusting.. :(

lol I don't think car bra will cover cooler, that's just silly

you wrecken? i am not sure how the guy is going to make it...but ill only get one if it is made to protect my cooler from bugs and shit from bending the vents and let the cooler breath as close to it s max as possible....

They're fins not vents..

Never really seen any XR6 turbo's with car bras, but I'm sure they make em...it's probably a flexible mesh over the cooler intake...Wouldn't really leave the bra on when thrashing it though, would more than likely reduce the air flow through the cooler

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
