My intercoolers looking a bit tired with bent fins and scratched paint etc. Just wondering if theres a place that refurbishes em. Or any "how to" guides on doing it myself ? To be honest I would like a new intercooler but being a bit of an oddball (IE not an impreza) its very hard to find a mint intercooler for it. Cheers Tony
I hav'nt got £900 for a front mount. But seeing as your working now we could go halfs and have a timeshare on it. :wink:
I wish i could but ive become quite attached to my testicles :shock: Serious answers greatly appreciated :roll:
Theres a place in Rishton (nr Blackburn) that refurbs radiators & Intercoolers - maybe something similar in B/pool thats worth having a chat with ?
Just patience and do it yourself its very easy i did mine ok dont get me wrong it takes time, but i used a precision screwdriver and straightened the fins, then sanded it primed it then painted it in aluminium silver..
John's right on the fins, I ensure mine is free from stones and straighten fins regularly by same method. Does anyone know how to bring the metalwork up without painting? Andy
Ive started straightening the fins with a feeler gauge. I'll probably give it a rub down and use some hi temp silver.
Unless you want to spend all your time polishing, I would always go for the painted option. BTW, sure you can make a £300 front mount fit the legacy...?
I could but dont really think there would be much performance gain for the effort and expenditure of a front mount.
I Have discovered a product and supplier for a product called loyblox, especially designed for cleaning Aluminium and they haven't been around for years but i've found them :wink: Google it. Michael
I could be persuaded to sell them :wink: I have found the supplier and i'll get some costs for the LADS members. Michael
