Hmmmm I I say polish it, paint is just blah... And if you polish it, it will take maybe an hr or 2 to have it looking like chrome....
I got too lazy, snad blasted it.. hit it with the grinder and threw some clear coat on it, just so I can drive it this weekend and see how it works out. I can just teat it back out and paint it later.. main thing is to function over form right now!
holy balls that looks clean
ha ha, it just got cleaner man...
im liking this....
hope it works out for ya man...
Thanks a lot man, me too... we'll find out soon.
UPDATE:
Came home to my dad busting his balls working on this in the garage while it was pouring outside. Hopped right in with him and we beat it all out eventually. Just got out of the garage at 10pm finally. Took it for a quick ride just to make sure the fan runs... it does, and it sounds loud as s**t (good loud!)... hopefully a good sign of how strong it is! Tomorrow is the big test; I'm heading off to Jersey and I'll be back in a week to let you know how it works out.. stay tuned!
picsssssss:
Made a custom/relocated coolant overflow mount cause the stock position was in the way. Used some weather stripping to create a nice seal between the fan and shroud, I think it looks pretty sick actually. Eventually we plan to drill some holes down the back slanted part of the shroud to let excess air escape.. because if it builds up too much it could actually hurt more than help by slowing the fan down while cruising fast.
Pretty tight fight, but it's in there and looks pretty damn good for less than a weeks worth of work! Off to Jersey for a week of vacation tomorrow.. if the car makes that trip fine I'm heading to Honda Day on Sunday August 15 at Englishtown with it... look for me if you're there!!!
