My new big mouth and intercooler

Shifty · 10-03-2008, 11:37

Any excuse to be a picture whore....

Fitted my new custom forge intercooler on Friday night and meshed the gaping orifice in front of it.

Cooler was a direct swap, as Forge said it would be, unfortunately I had to take a stanley knife to the bumper in several unseen places. As well as the piece of broken blade I had to pull from my finger with pliers

This is what it looks like now...(phone pics, my apologies)

You appear to have some sort of alien space craft attached to the top of your bonnet...

Makefish · 10-03-2008, 11:53

I wouldn't fancy seeing that in my rear view mirror, looks terrifying Dave!

You must bring it out and about more mate, what about Weston this weekend?

If you flash someone to let them out at a junction, do you vaporize them in the process?

It looks brutal shifty

That looks a total slag mate

skudmissile · 10-03-2008, 13:59

That look the dogs dangleys mate.

Really need to get to the malt house next time ur there. Bet its even better in the flesh

Ive got to say if you saw that in your rear veiw mirror you would pull over thinking youve entered a rally stage

Shifty · 10-03-2008, 14:05

Thanks for all the comments. Definately a "marmite mod". Poeple stop in the street and point and laugh, whilst others love it

AwesomeSarah · 10-03-2008, 14:40

Top work,loving it ( fat boy slim )

Keep it up.

That's "Well-Brown", m8!

Surely needs this bodykit, now:

Just out of interest - how long can you keep those lights on full beam without the wires cooking?

Don't quite know what well brown means, but I think it may be complimentary

I would love that kit, yes, alot

Basil, its all wired to a switch on the dash and 2 BFO relays

so indefinately would be the answer.

...and the new drag coefficient is

Anyway, Len said it's not that fast

Drag is now 10.9, instead of the OEM 10

Len is right. It is only a Fabia

Basil · 10-03-2008, 15:55

The drag coefficient of a Fabia vRS is the same as a 1997 Porsche 993 = 0.33 (see second link below)
see:
Automobile drag coefficients - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Howstuffworks "1995 Porsche 911 Carrera and Carrera 4"

The drag coefficient of a smooth brick is 0.9.

Can we stop saying that the car has the D/C of a brick please? It does not.

Basil......how do you know the drag coefficient of a brick, a smooth one at that?

Nice to know the actual figures for the Fabia too. Mine *may* be more than that of the brick now I suspect

anonymouse · 10-03-2008, 16:47

I get it - it's a productivity move so you can spend more time on the road.

You line a sack or two of spuds up, turn on the lights and heat up the spuds, gun the car and charge into them and the grille does the chipping.
From past 'mishaps' the chips probably get coated in oil too

Way to go

Basil · 10-03-2008, 16:53

All these discussions - and the brick comment - did a search out of interest - numbers are always nice to get a handle on stuff...

To the best of my limited understanding - the drag coefficient is a logarithmic scale - huge differences with only tiny changes in the actual number...

(So next time SWMBO/GF says summat in-yer-face you can honestly say that the comment had the drag coefficient of 0.9.......)

devonutopia · 10-03-2008, 19:57

Very nice Dave.

Is that an IC pipe coming back across the IC, or is it a protection bar in the event of an accident, to protect the IC itself?

Fabia 12v · 10-03-2008, 20:34

Looks absolutly awsome dave! Would love to see a night shot...
