2005 Civic Upper Grill Block
It was raining so I did some work. A very easy temp solution using 1" grey pipe insulation and a pair of scissors.
http://www.health.ufl.edu/~rdeason/C...rillBlock1.jpg I got the scanguage installed and setup to monitor FWT and IAT throughout all conditions of "normal ops." The first full fill was pleasant surprise. |
Looks pretty nice! Time to do the bottom, ;)
|
Please clarify what a 'pleasant surprise' is. :)

What is your normal mileage in the civic?

I just go it

And the insulation matches the color of you car! It's always nice when you don't have to paint your mod.

I think I'll have a go at thermostatically controlled bottom half. Maybe fix the outer 25% on each side then make the remainder Temperature controlled. I'll probably "manually control it" until I know what total square area I'll need for AC and 95 degree FL days. Being into Mopars, I have a few old choke cables and air duct cables hangin' about. I even have a few electric servos and AC parts that could help with prototyping. |
Found bumper assembly
One of my buddies at a body shop has me a bumper assembly for prototyping. The DS corner is all bugered up, but the center section is good for mockup! Figure I can make more progress on something I don't have to drive everyday.

Great use of pipe insulation. I'll definately be using it to block my upper grill this week.
|
I think this is my favorite grille block yet, it looks so OEM and blends right in.
|
Very nice looking. Looks almost factory

Now that I've seen how easy it is, I may taper the ends a bit so it fits all the way to the bitter edges. |

Cool! Eco-capitalism! Money saved can be used to fuel further mods.
