Get a life? Whatever dude, show me where I was bashing you. You need thicker skin, it's a useless mod except for bling, correct? Am I the only person who stated that in this thread? Was I even the first person to state that in this thread? The answer to both of those would be NO! So the sticker is a joke, which is exactly what my comments were.

Do a search and find me all the posts where I bashed you and we can take it one on one and see.

 

BTW, I apologize, I looked at the first pic again. I thought the sticker said "Some Rice Shop in Temple City". I thought that was a joke on your part and why I made the ricer mod comment.

 

Looks awesome Mike I need to stop by the shop and see it in person.

 

well... i was wondering.. i know its pretty... but doesnt it replace two stock heatshields if you have a header? I mean.. the header stock shield comes off... and the black stock heatshield normally goes there right? so its probably not completely useless... but probably does about the same as the stock black heat shield? I figure honda probably put heatshields there for something.. even if its jus for the battery..

 

Well if you put a AA bat in your pocket all day then hold it in your hand it's really hot... So.... yeah.... ? :-p

not to get off topic but what kinda intake is that? More importantly, where can I get it?:-p

 

its a complete replacement for the stock black heatshield.. it actually wraps around so it covers everything.

 

thats bling... it doesnt' happen to come in carbon fiber does it??

 

I thought these have been out for a while. I agree its a nice piece. If its under $200 then thats a good price if its over $200 its not worth the price...

 

if it's under 2 bills I'm all over it...it looks great

 

The OEM heatshield prevents excessive temperature emitted from the exhaust manifold heating up the brake and clutch cylinders for RHDs. ARC initially made one for the RHD to further reinforce that for some reason or the other (Much like their failed intake design for the AP1.

In reality, it never did become a popular replacement/modified item because in doing that. They actually created a bigger problem of heatsoak thanks to the "metallic constructed box" covering everything that prevented proper airflow to ventilation.

Mugen instead took a better step at. Coming up with a wind-tunnel developed vented CF bonnet that effectively removed heat and soaring temperatures under severe racing conditions along with weight reduction and accomodating their intake system.
