caint wait to see them CH

 

Have been away from this forum for awhile. Came back to check on performance mods. Remembered why I had not been here. This has been one of the most juvenile exchanges I have seen in a number of weeks.
Grow up people, and stay civil in word and deed.
Also, spell check is your friend.

Go ahead, flame me now.

 

 

I'm not going to flame...but, why are you saying "juvenile"? That really is not understandable !!!

On this thread, members have expressed some opinions and some have "needled"... but that is some of the fun with this site. Comments are usually supported with reasoning or just given a "tongue in cheek" answer.

I'm sorry, but I don't recognize any "uncivil" words or deeds. Can you explain...maybe create a different topic thread regardings your feelings....so we don't hi-jack this thread....or you can just PM me, with your response, because I find this interesting.

Maybe other members, also, can enlighten me.

As far as the comment regarding the spell check.....I agree to a certain point. It is problematic to understand a members point if the statement is bunched together with no punctuation and, seriously, misspelled words. But, some members write their responses quickly and post, rapidly, to position their statements intent.

For me, I do not use the spell checker because when attempting to downlaod it, my anti-spyware indicates it places certain types of "cookies"....my security systems are set VERY high, for very specific reasons...so, I have refused it.

If I misspell words or use the wrong context and/or punctuation, I certainly apologize.

 

I guess it is because I came in at the end, after having read all the posts in one sitting. The back and forth 'needling' seemed a bit like "Oh yeah?" "yeah" or 'did too' , 'did not'. Perhaps that is because I tried to digest them all at once. Just a quick scroll back through the posts, numbers 25, 29, and 47 I guess might be the ones that gave me a bad taste. Anyway, I agee the free exchange of ideas is the way to improve us all. Only by putting an idea out there and seeing if a fresh set of eyes has an educated opinion or experience in the subject can we make our HHRs better and more our own.

If I offended anyone, I am most humble in my apology.

Now back to the original topic! How about a scoop like the 'fresh air vent' they used to have right in front of the windshield? That would serve the mechnical purpose and look accurate to the late 40's period, too.
Just my $.02

 

O'k...Inchworm...I agree and THANKS,

And to the thread topic...

You mentioned to use the intake at the bottom of the windshield and that is ONE of the areas I am exploring. But, I have a concern.... what about water ingestion, snow (for those in others areas of the country), leaves, birds, etc.? If the "tubing or ducting" is short on none existent, how is this prevented?

For that matter, IF CH cut his hood and channeled air flow down thru his scoop, how would water ingestion be prevented????

"I did not route my hose to the fender...
I believe not much cool air is in there..
I'm getting my air from the front of the vehicle.."

Same air - same temp. Where does one find this elusive "cool air?"

Pulling from the front of the vehicle you are mostly getting 140-degree exhaust fumes from other cars on the highway - but not "cool air." And certainly not fresh air!

The search continues for "cool air."
