Just a quick pic

thinking about getting it painted soon any suggestions?
so far im thinking of metallic charcoal , or white, or some sort of brown

[KyleG]

I myself would do a glossy white. Car looks good as is really!

[Got Milk?]

I think I saw you today, you were in the left lane on duluth hwy trying to make a left onto riverside. I was in the black 5 series at the light.

[Code-Aye]

^^ nope not me lol

Does your motor over heat a lot?

Hood tilt looks gay as Elton John blowing off a unicorn while sitting in the 3rd row of a Justin Timberlake concert. Would look alright if not for that.

I wouldn't go as far as Sin, but I would get rid of the hood risers. Not my car thought. Do you actually use the roof rack? Other than those two (maybe one) aspects I like it.

Edit: Just saw the mud flaps... not a fan.

[Code-Aye]

hood is only propped to let heat out, tries to heat up on warm days but since i propped the hood no issues.

Why "hood risers" are for ricers and actually hurt the performance of your car.

Just some fun facts here for you.

When I'm sitting in traffic it would heat up when it's propped it doesn't heat up explain that

[Code-Aye]

Don't think I'm some big fan of the prop cause I'm not , but when I'm in traffic my gauge doesn't lie

Sounds like you have an underlying issue that is temporarily fixed because of the prop.

Try larger cooling fans?

[Code-Aye]

Before summer hits I'm goin to add a pusher fan also.i already have a 10in puller but I'm very limited on space

[On_Her_Face]

That's because air isn't being pushed into the heat exchanger. I was just pointing you to some friendly advice.

[Code-Aye]

Thanks for the advice I need to try and add a pusher fan just being lazy

Good one^ got all of those

[Doppelgänger]

When will people understand that the air dicking around in the engine bay has no bearing on the temperature of the coolant? Engines are not cooled by the air circulating around them :facepalm: . Considering the FMIC, I'd say that the issue is the fan trying to pull air across multiple heat exchangers. Ditch the bar-and-plate intercooler for a tube-and-fin design that flows much more air. Also, analyze how well the air can get to the radiator, you may need to add some ducting to help direct airflow. It's also a very good idea to make sure your fans are sealed to the radiator.

Need to look like this- note how the edges of the shroud have no gap to the radiator.


Something like this is about the worst thing you can do-


and this is just as bad-




If your radiator/fan setup looks anything like the second two pictures..your fans are moving some air through the radiator and recirculating some hot air by venturi effect.

I am in the process of finding a air duck to hit the front of the rad and there is no possible way to have a sealed shroud(without completely changing my manifold)which of course is best be cause it cools the entire core. As I said before there is very little room. But thanks for the input

[Bacon]

Do what you do homie. If it works for you it works. Simple as that.

I would keep the car white personally.

White

[Scotsman]

love it , i just moved back over your way , need to get together and get some pics of the two white sedans

[Code-Aye]

^ thanks and we should for sure

[silverDA]

I would go black pearl.

[Code-Aye]

Yeah idk what I'm going to do I want to be unique most ef sedans are white

Damn you try too hard. Cheesy as fuck and not funny. All your post !

Air duck? Now that made me literally lol.

So what you're saying is that the turbo is right up against the radiator? Like mm's away?

You might think I'm just knockin' on ya, and I am a bit, admittedly. But I do like to help people do things the right way so reduce potential if they're willing to listen to insight. Pics of engine bay?

[Code-Aye]

^ this is just a pic of my car, it doesn't over heat right now only starts to when doing long pulls.with that being said all other inputs have nothing to do with this post.
