Supercharged Civic Type R

Can you get an aftermarket bumper ?

The I/C seems to be mounted pretty high.

Looks ace though mate, bet seeing that in your rear view mirror is a bit disconcerting !!!!!

The bottom of the intercooler is hard against the subframe, it wont go any lower! It does an excellent job of cooling the charge. I can get a buddy club bumper but it looks like I'll still have to butcher it to get the grill to fit.

I wouldn't mind spraying the FMIC with some glow in the dark paint. I think it would go well with the big power number plates. Maybe.... or would it look gay? :gay:

James,
I think your car is awesome. You must take me out in it.
I know you say your charge is cool, but have you thought about relocating the number plate and opening up that area to expose some more of the intercooler. Would look even meaner.

It's a honda, it doesn't have any torque!

Am I assume that you're still running on standard internals? If so thats pretty amazing that they can cope with running boost and a load more power!

Yep , standard internals. I think it's the way the supercharger is gradual in its delivery rather than full on turbo nothing,nothing, wooshhhhhhh, bang!
