Title: How many people still have the battery box lid?
Post by: m1tch on November 01, 2009, 12:43:31 PM
Hi all, Just wondering how many FCs still have the OEM battery box cover on the car, so far I only know of 2 people, Skifledanabit and I, all the FCs I have seen for sale have them missing :Giggle

Who else has theirs?

I\'ve got an FD one, which is apparently an equally rare beast! I\'ve seen a rubber plant, and a house fly, and I even seen a horse box but I ain\'t never seen no mythical battery box lid :rollin

The intercooler is an ARC copy, with a Pace core, 3 times the thickness of stock, allows for 0 lag from the turbos due to the longer route that is used by FMIC and V mounts, rated to 1.2 bar and takes aaaages for heat soak due to its size, why should I take it off?

No worries about the intercooler, a V mount in an FC is difficult and a FMIC creates lag :)

The lid does serve a purpose, it shields the contacts from the elements, as well as completes the air circulation circuit for the battery vent on 1 of the sides of the box :)
