car bra any good for temp use on the car when driving on the freeway.....thinking of getting one made up (going to b for dirt cheap thnx to mates contacts)...just want to avoid shit hitting the intercooler and bending the vents...getting a mesh on the intercooler was an option but not much room between the front bar and the intercooler...:(

any advice for me? :D

What material would the car bra be made of? Is it breathable? If not, how the hell are you meant to get air flow to your intercooler if you're blocking it? :blink:

I used to drive my car to work through the industrial estates, trucks everywhere, shit on the roads and never ending roadworks....Cooler was fine, copped a few bugs which wash off easily enough.

It was powdercoated, never had stone chips or anything

mine isnt...got too many of my vents bent from just one drive up and down from shepperton for deca...got heaps bent...so only coz i am getting one cheap and meant to be a good quality one i am thinking of getting it...but have no idea about them so was asking what material is the best and is it really a good option to prevent any furthur damage on the intercooler?

have too many stone chips on the car...the lip looks disgusting.. :(

lol I don't think car bra will cover cooler, that's just silly

you wrecken? i am not sure how the guy is going to make it...but ill only get one if it is made to protect my cooler from bugs and shit from bending the vents and let the cooler breath as close to it s max as possible....

They're fins not vents..

Never really seen any XR6 turbo's with car bras, but I'm sure they make em...it's probably a flexible mesh over the cooler intake...Wouldn't really leave the bra on when thrashing it though, would more than likely reduce the air flow through the cooler

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
