Question

Anyone got any ideas to protect the intercooler from wildlife being sucked down the Scoop on the STi8 ... I used to have enough problems with my classic and have a feeling there may be a lot of stuff going flying into THAT scoop!!!

Anyone manufacture a mesh grill or anything?

I got a I/C Shield from Power Engineering - bit expensive but does the job - loads of my I/C fins were bent so I straightened them up (took ages) and then fitted a shield - now the little insects and stuff hit the grill first and my fins are happy - aparently the cooling process is troubled by the bent fins so its a good idea

Heres a pic...





Take a look in the Products section near the bottom of the page

Well it might not be wildlife down a scooby scoop, but it's in a similar theme.
Take a look
