Mad-Ass Performance's Ultimate Skid Plate! Protect your investment! Now 100$ :idea:

 

[mad-ass]

^^ LOL
if anyone wants, i'll take some measurements of the sucker and you can make your own!

unwanted S13 hood = skid plate!

made some adjustments for the oil drain and flipped some rivets around.

not the prettiest thing in the world, but it gives me 3/8th of clerance from the skid plate to the oil pan.

Good deal. i might paint it black or neon pink.

 

[Sleepy_Steve]

I was wondering what that was going to be...

 

[Monkichi57]

I'd like the measurements please! Don't want to damage the oil pan a 2nd time.....

 

[mad-ass]

does anyone ever do what I just did with my rear toe arms?
or am I just retarded and can never remember which way to turn the toe arms to adjust them..?

Anyways, I bought some used PBM Rear Toe Rods in good condition, just got done applying anti-seize on them.

 

[mad-ass]

LOL, 20's.

 

[Scoot]

I'm sorry but eww lol

trying to sell the wheels for him and thought "hey, i'll just put it on my car so people can see what it looks like in my scene"

i need 25mm spacer to clear the coilovers in front... so I took them off right away. we'll see.

I received my CXRacing Radiator shroud + fans today.
I went with CXRacing this time because I already have the ISIS shroud + fans on the purple car,
just wanted to try out a different company, and I can tell you right now that
CXRacing shroud has more through put into it then of ISIS shroud. and can be seen.
the bolt holes have nut backing already welded on, less tools required, and also has the center reinforced[for what ever reason]
Have not installed it in the car yet, but over all construction looks legit.
all welds looks nice. will update on how it fits on the radiator soon.
onto the fan's ability to pull air compared of ISIS and CXRacing. they both seem to use exact same fans. except CXRacing one has a harness and pigtail, instead of just straight wires off the fans from ISIS.

so far, if I had to do it over again, I think I'll go with CXRacing kit for both of my cars.

Progress on the new Fan harness here...

I ended up going with 3 SPDT Relay and 1 SPDT swith with ON-OFF-ON[Low/1Fan-OFF-HIGH/2Fan].
why 3 relays?
I have 1 relay turning on with Low/1Fan position,
and two relays turning on with High/2Fan position.

so this way, Fan#1/low positon fan will always have it's own relay in Low or High position.
and I have the Fan#2/high position fan getting powered by it's own relay that turns on with High position, and also I have it connected to the stock AC Fan harness so that it'll turn on when I have AC/Defrost running.

Note that these are single speed fans, so there is no low/high. I just used low/high as reference of number of fans turning on.

I tried to make this system as OEM as possible with ability to manually turn both fans with out running the AC/Defrost.

I have grown custom to using fuseable link in place of a fuse for my fan setup. easy to source and I have bunch of them laying around.


as far as the fan itself goes[CX Racing Fan shroud+Fans]
it sticks out bit further then of ISIS kit. I had to completely unbolt the AC Dryer and bend the lines out of the way about 1 full inch in order to gain clerance to install. it's the shroud design from CXRacing is thicker/bulkier then of ISIS design. they both utilize same fans by just looking at exterior design of it[very generic] aside from that side effect, all the brackets on top and bottom lined up very nicely and was able to bolt it down completely.

 

[BoostinIX]

So what're you selling fan harnesses for?

 

[mad-ass]

I'll draw up a diagram of the harness, so anyone can do this.

Skid plate is now painted. Used a can of Krylon Satin Jade on it.

and installed picture of the CXRacing Radiator Shroud+Fans

I'm running the Greddy KA-T FMIC piping and I'm able to run full size battery in stock location. and this is how close it gets.

I also had to unbolt the AC Dryer off the battery tray and bend the lines out of the way. i don't plan on bolting it back on.
