Don't forget to clean out your intercooler ducts...
Working on installing my new SRM intercoolers (bigger thread to follow) and noticed this while removing the stock intercoolers.
My first guess is that the previous owner was a smoker and threw them out the window while driving. Either that, or I just have bad luck and have sucked them all up over the last 13 years and 55,000 miles. Either way, I think it's pretty damn funny. Can't be helping cooling/airflow much haha. https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.6sp...e1b11346e4.jpg |

Regularly stick a vacuum hose down in my cooler inlets just as I stick it in the radiator inlets.
All sorts of crap get sucked in there especially since fitting Joes brilliant cooler inlet ducts. Cheers men Tim |
until i screened mine i also picked up all manner of road debris. surprised there were nevr any small animals though i once hit a deer.
this cig butts though would've had to defy physics though if they had been tossed out by a previous owner lol |
What did you use to screen Mark? Pics please.

Tim, do you just vacuum in through the inter cooler duct intake at the opening just below side rear windows?
I do the exact same thing with the radiators but you get a better result by removing the front bar then splitting the A/C condensor and radiator apart a little bit. Ive just bought a radiator comb which im looking forward to using once they finally let me leave the hospital. I had no idea what a radiator comb was until a few weeks ago :D Cheers Men Tim :cool: |

I've never cleaned my IC intake, I better get cracking on that one but I do remove the front bar to clean rads about once a year.
just looked up the comb, I've gotta get one of those. Who has them? I've got a feeling he thought we were talking about front rads and he was showing you the mesh on his front bar. ECS has the comb buddy i think it was less than 20 bucks :confused: I reckon the comb will do wonders on my centre radiator :D Cheers men Tim :cool: |
Think it might be time for a reps all round to all my good buddies on 6speed hilarious
