Intercooler Damage

[dangaz]

G'day guys nad gals.

I posted this on the maintenance section of the forum as well..... if anyone can give me some direction it will be greatly appreciated.

I have not had much luck with coolers on my 32 gts-t, the first HKS core was stolen from WSID. The second (Hybrid) last night was damaged when I hit a full grown wombat at 90km/h.

Rather than buying a new core is anyone able to tell me actually how much damage a FMIC take before you have to make it into an arty coffee table???

I don't have access to a digital camera but I will describe the damage.

10cm height, 7.5cm length positioned near the end tank.

In this area the fins are bent but the veins through the core have only indented about 5mm.

So to recap.....is this core still usable with some TLC, or does anyone know of a repair shop that will repair this damage......or should I just get a cheapie and cut my losses. Any advice will be welcomed. cheers Dan

RIP Walter the Wombat.
