Administrators hughezee Posted September 22, 2015 Administrators Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 This was more of a preventive job although my original cooler was fine with only minor spots of rust showing anyway thought I would share a few shots of me replacing mine and before you ask yes your bumper will need to come off so check this post: http://honda6.ipbhost.com/index.php?/topic/32-accord-coupe-front-bumper-removal-how-to/Fill the reservoir just above max mark and then start the engine and after 1 minute shut off the engine leave to settle for a few minutes.Top up if necessary, but its a pretty straightforward job but any questions please ask 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Laird_Scooby Posted September 23, 2015 Moderators Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 Nice work there Stu - surprised you didn't paint it matt black to aid with heat dissipation and the extra coat of pant to protect it. I suppose if you were either really stuck or fancied a challenge, you could make a coiled version from flexible copper tubing, solder some copper sheet fins in place and then paint that matt black too. Hmmmm, ideas for an ATF coiler come to mind! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founding Member Mazda Man Posted September 30, 2015 Founding Member Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 Made me chuckle Dave....I watch Wheeler Dealers and Ed China always always always uses "Satin Black" for everything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Laird_Scooby Posted September 30, 2015 Moderators Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 Satin Black would be good Geoff but Matt Black is better on something like this as it dissipates the heat better than something shiny, or even slightly shiny like a satin finish.Perhaps Ed China has a secret stash of Satin Black that needs using up...................

Founding Member Mazda Man Posted September 30, 2015 Founding Member Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 Think you're right, I know the shows are well edited and slick but he knows his stuff, doesn't he? I seem to remember seeing somewhere that sometimes they couldn't find a buyer and some of the 'buyers' were actually members of the the film crew?

Moderators Laird_Scooby Posted September 30, 2015 Moderators Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 Honestly couldn't say as i've never seen it. Maybe that's slightly inaccurate, i might have seen one and decided i didn't like it but i don't recall ever seeing one even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Paul" his helper does most of the work Geoff, did you ever wonder why Ed always has long sleeves on while working on a car, makes it much easier to hid whose arms they are. A fair percentage of the cars on there end up off the road quite quickly as well, still it's entertaining enough until Brewer opens his mouth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
