Here is mine.
Just got 'er done. Got my foglights installed at the same time however I didnt yet wire those to the switch due to some problems getting the wire into the cabin.

Doing a Grillbock
I plan to do this as soon as I can find some coroplast.
I have an 88 CRX and the front end looks nearly the same as Ben's over on his writeup : https://crxmpg.com/grillblock.html You can see from the pictures of his front bumber that Ben's intake space is divided into 3 horizontal sections. He covered his by leaving a square opening in the middle. Mine is divided into two spaces : https://xs106.xs.to/xs106/06366/DSC01187.JPG.xs.jpg The red outlined portion is the area that I would like to block off rather than leave a square opening in the middle. I think it will look a bit cleaner. My radiator spans the whole width of the intake area and I would effectively be blocking off roughly half of the area. I live in Maine and it's been average about 65 or so during the day and dropping to the forties at night. I have a 21 mile commute but never get up over 3k RPMs and usually cruise at 55 MPH @ 2.5k RPMs (I have an automatic). The temp gauge on my dash always reads at 1/3 of the way up. Do you guys think that it woudl be OK to do this? Any comments or suggestions will be appreciated. |

I have everything blocked except for a 4x2" area for the summer. I run completely blocked in the fall, winter and spring. You should have no problems.

Danger Will Robinson!
I had my 3.0 L overheat in winter messing around with blocking the front. Has an air dam and a rad that is slanted forward at about 45*. I covered the opening thru the dam where the air is forced in by the car's movement...but it was still open below it. Problem is...this area is actually under a partial vacuum caused by the air dam. No damage, but it was close. If you don't see a lot of steam and bubbling it should mean that you didn't get it hot enough to create pockets of vapor...which is where the damage is done. Vapor doesn't remove heat. |
I'm just wondering if there isn't a problem with your cooling system. I have some long steep hills that I regularly drive with no problem.
