Well if any of yall saw my thread about my power steering problems, you would know that my intercooler got damaged by the tow chain/hook. For thos that dont know, in the process of loading the car onto the tow truck, the driver gor the chain/hook of the tow truck caught between the intercooler and the deck of the flat bed. Im in the process of getting the intercooler replaced. So it will be nice and shiny for the new owner.

 

Oh it doesn't look that bad...is it still functional?

 

your stillen front is covered in rock chips

 

i know and so is the intercooler. perks of living in houston with i-10 construction.


yes, its still functional, but thats no excuse for them to not replace it. they damaged it bad enough to notice from far away, and so they need to replace it since you can't repair an intercooler

 

check this out. Those aren't sparkles all over my bumper. It actually looks 100 times better in this picture than in person. Damn dump trucks in SFL! They drop so much freaking rock debris it should be a crime

 

I know what you mean Gman

imagine this, but all over my bumper

 

Damn man, your HID's look **** yellow.

 

he owns a g35....

 

it's the camera and lighting, but yes ive noticed they arent quite as blue as other stock G's

 

damnnnnnn........doesnt look as bad as it does on IP though

 

Bummer, Sorry to see this.

Did you pressure test the IC? Based on the pics it doesn�t look that bad, lowest primary horizontal bar wasn't touched just the fins below it. Even if it had a puncture on the outer case, you might be able to TIG/MIG it. I�ve run with IC that were beaten nicely, but still were efficient coolers.

Good Luck

 

me fitting the INGs lip.. and yeah my car was semi clean!!! 2005 Infiniti G35 lol

 

it works just fine. there isnt a boost leak or anything.

the simple fact is that i told the operator at infiniti roadside that my car was lowered and had modification. thus needing something to help get the car on the flatbed. that information never made it to tow truck driver, so he didnt bring anything. so in any case they caused the damage and have to be held liable for it. i am not paying for it to be replaced, and i dont know anyone that can fix an intercooler in the lubbock area.

 

I'm in SFL with all those stupid gravel truck and I don't have ONE rock chip =\, been driving it for over two years now.

 

i wish i could just do a clear bra. i would get one, but stillen doesnt offer one, and i dont wanna pay the custom costs to have one made
