so is that the intercooler or the radiator? hahaha. i think that accord got potential. if you fix up the cosmetic stuff, it'll look good. but what i would ask him is.. exactly, how much time did you spent on this car? haha

lawl...

thats what happens when you DIY ,sometimes it comes out like crap.

My main complaint is..if your going to make a drastic change to your engine such as a turbo setup..then do it right or don't bother at all. That setup actually takes value away from the car. The car itself isn't even worth $2,000..not even close..even with that turbo setup I'd be surprised if he pulled $750-$800 from it.

haha... front-mounting the baby cooler ftl.

nothing wrong with a small i/c, but why mount it like that?

I think this was like a 1 day project. He mounted it however it would fit..same with the front bumper lol..That intercooler probably adds nothing to the setup do to it's location and size.

i'd looked at sidemounts when I was thinking of piecing together a cheap kit but imo the only reason to get a smaller i/c is so you can mount it in the bay somewhere. if you're on low-boost (like his 6psi) the heat soak shouldn't matter anyways and its a lot easier area to mount it
