supradibbs Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 what do u guys think should i mesh the front or not???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D3xt3r Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 No mesh means better flow to the IC but higher chance of it getting killed by a stone.. So I say NO MESH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sideshowbob Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 Wouldn't the mesh basically form as a 'flat panel' at speed, therefore restricting the airflow? Looks the bizz though mate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliot Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 I could never quite figure out how it would make much difference having mesh there in regards to the intercooler. Does it form a 'flat panel' as sideshowbob said, or would the air still flow past the mesh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trig Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 Im sure dude has meshed his so cant be that restrictive. I say mesh it. doesnt look right with the sides meshed and not the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilg Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 Dont do it mate, i havnt, looks miles better without Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muffleman Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 Have to agree it looks better without, but how annoyed would you be if it got damaged. Vanity - no mesh it looks cool. Sanity - mesh it, IC's aren't cheap and bent fins wont help performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 http://www.expandedmetalcompany.co.uk/ or B&Q (they do actually have a good range ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonball Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 Have you seen the stuff that dude recommends - the S/S stuff for Jags etc? Well I am getting in about 1.2 x 3 sq metres of the slightly smaller sized mesh - about 6/7mm across - cut on the diamond It comes in mega expensive if purchased individually 9"x38" = £67.50 I think - but if I get it in like this then it should be about £40 only (inc a drink in it for us) But will need collecting I fear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
