TMM Archives - Carbon Radiator "Slam" Panel
A good way to prevent the airflow from spilling out of the gap between the radiator and the car's front subframe would be to fit a radiator slam panel. The slam panel blocks out the gap thus ensuring the airflow is only through the radiator improving cooling efficiency. Picture below of the radiator slam panel for the SP. Fits any Satria/Wira/Putra/GTI. If you're one of those that think raising the back of your bonnet with spacers looks cool then the slam panel will not clear the bonnet as my bro Senior found out much to his dismay. I choose not to cut a hole for the radiator although that can be done. Removing the radiator also removes a couple hundred grammes of useless weight.

Hi Nuno,
Good to have you here. How's my old header doing?
Jacko,
The Koyo's a no-go. Gonna have to push that to mid-year due to the issues I've been having lately.
And pls turn on your phone will ya!
ur header doing fine :)
The problem with the slam panel is that it renders the stock bonnet lifter useless. I now have no way to keep the bonnet up.
Any solutions?
Machine a nice rod from aluminium alloy to hold up your bonnet ;)

Andrew,
I know u have long sold ur SP, but by any chance that you can hook me up with a similar piece of that slam panel? Do inform me the total costs incurred to do one at aaron_38my@yahoo.com .Been trying to fabricate a few from fibre but..damn...its just a disgusting sight. I wish for a professional help.
