Capitalism at it's best.

If people want to waste their money getting a "turbo look" but without a turbo, then what the hell... let them. Ric may as well make some money off it. I think it's sheer brilliance.

As long as all units are sold so that it holds the designer and manufacturer free from all responsibility of any and all damages incurred through the use of said product, the rice boys can't say shit all to anyone except a mirror when a rock flies through their radicooler and fucks their stuff up. Hence, waiver.

Do it, it will sell, and you'll make lots of money. How do you think all the other people selling car shit on Ebay make their money? BY CATERING TO THE RICER COMMUNITY. If I had the supplies to make ricer parts, I'd do it, because it's a huge community with money on their hands, even though I don't support it.

It's not spineless or taking advantage of anyone. No one has to buy anything. They choose to. Either it will sell or it won't.

I was out smokin a cig on break looking at this riced out honda that was parked.... and a light went off.

We all know those broke honda tuners love to have front mount intercoolers mainly for that race car look.... so.. why not install one that works without the turbo?

So you're asking, huh? Front mount intake, already been done...

What about a front mount radiator? You can get tube and fin intercoolers on ebay for dirt cheap, hell even GReddy are tube and fin, so why not install one up front in your sick ass body kit, remove the chicken wire, and route the piping to the cooling system? Instead of the cool 2.5 in intercooler pipe, just route 1.5in hardline with silicone connectors to the front mount... Bam. Instant front mount "intercooler" on your civic... that's functional.

You'll also get more room in your engine bay with the removal of the radiator from there.

I've already developed a kit, and will be testing it on a civic tonight. The paperwork for copyrights have been submitted. The kit will be forsale for the price of a racing radiator, around $300.

Spineless? where the hell does having a spine come in? Not having the balls to try this would be even worse.

Being jealous that someone thought of a money making idea doesn't constitute calling them an invertebrate.

I'm waiting for pics.

Edit: its just a stupid product, i'll restrain myself.

Good, do that. Stupid idea or great idea, he is trying to make a buck and more power to him. If I had the time and money to do stuff like that I would. Who doesn't love money? He wants more of it and he is going to do what he can to get it just like everyone else on earth.

Lol ric if you make this and it gets off the ground i am sure APC the rice kings will buy it off of you.

Things going against you though!!!!!!!!!!

There is already front mount intakes for civics. These work best because the plumbing as short as possible you get a forced induction sense to it. coldest air to pull from. blocks air off minimaly to radiator. but not as efficiant as wrx scoop or TA WS package scoops.

Your intake plumbing would be too long meaning less engine response short ram gives you more but you dont want to suck air out of the engine bay but through a hood scoop for ram air.

BIG reason having an intercooler block the air off your radiator to cool of the air charge is bad for an NA because an NA doesnt have the intermediate pump need to suck and push air into the motor that the turbo does and since the turbo compresses air and causes air to get hot you need the intercooler.

As the Honda APC look alike FMIC cools air down it becomes more denser and harder for the engine to work to suck it through all the plumbing meaning you loose a crap load of HP no one will buy a look like thing and loose power.

So now that the FMIC is not functional as proven for a NA car lets look at dress up kits such as the APC fake disc brake kits you put behind your rims or the plastic spinner look alike hubcaps people put on there wheels you can make a grill to look like one and maybe sell a grill thats light weight and makes people thingk they have a FMIC then you might as well also make a fake blow off valve that makes the pshhh sound when they drop off hard throttle ups!

Grammar my friend...grammar and punctuation. Look them up please.

Ric: I think the idea is ingenious. The ricer community will buy the hell out of this product, and they will LOVE it. And honestly I love the idea that they won't have IC's hanging out with no piping anymore!! You are a true entrepreneur sir, and I applaud you!
