    I'm 62 & I know the jargon (RICE)..... :ihih: Nothing against Honda Civics, they are fine appliances.

    The mix of fine British Steel from the TR-7 sourced bits and Ohio winters is taking its toll.

    I now have rust forming on the louvers.

    TR-7 bits, I was wondering if you found some Fiat type Louvers for that conversion. :) :) :)

    :mad5: This had nothing to do with Honda Civics other than the fact that I saw this mod on one. HOT AIR, yes that was the idea of the mod, remove hot air from the engine compartment. Jargon was for the words 'souped up' and not the country of origin. Save your attitude problem for MoM where they will put up with you until you get to your attitude adjustment class. MA is the friendly site. Remember it!:frown2::frown2:

    Uh.....:idea: hmmm.... I'm just confused. Chuck is the nicest/friendliest guy. I don't think he had any attitude in his statement. However, I guess I am one of those attitude riddled MOMers. :devil:
    Never knew we were so mean :donut1:

    :cornut: All I can do is apologize to Crashton and MoM. I'll try to ensure that it doesn't happen again but if it does, I'll PM the person instead of causing public hurt feelings. Sometimes the antisocial side of narcissism just boils over before I can turn out the fire. If it's okay with y'all, I'll change to the friendly lane and get in line with y'all and we'll MINI on.:Thumbsup:

    :blush2::blush2: So.......................... this isn't such a good idea? The air would try to flow in the wrong direction? It wouldn't accomplish the cooling goal? It would spread ugly over the bonnet? Wouldn't it allow more air movement than louvers? It was an idea that I had never seen but I knew where to get practical answers blended with personal experience. First things first. Honda Civics aren't on my short list of favorite cars. This Honda was 'souped up' which to me was a waste of money but ,once things straighten out in Washington, it's a free country and I'd rather 'wind the twisties' against him rather than DaveO. So any thoughts on this method?...............................................................................:idea::Thumbsup:
