Attention all R18 and SI owners!!

06CivEXJon · 09-26-2006, 09:17 PM

Ok i opened up my hood today, but i never knoticed this, because i didnt really look all the way back to the firewall. As you can see the firewall seems dented or something. See how its going down, then going up normally on the right side. Can people take pictures of their engine fire wall, and see if you all have this too? gladly appreciated. I think its normal or something, but can other R18 owners, and SI owners look at their firewall, and see if it looks like its dented going down then up towards the driver side? it might be for the transmission or something. Thanks for the feedback guys. Please verify with me if this is normal. I hope everyone knows that im talking about, and by judging where these wire are in the pictures. The pictures are taken towards the windsheild, but much lower,back behind the engine block towards the dash. Is this integrated in the design and normal? note the third picture is NOT my car.

06CivEXJon · 09-27-2006, 06:59 PM

Whew! i thought i smashed into something or something. Glad it seems normal, and im not the only one. It must be like that for the passenger side dash?!? or something right? a bunch of electrical equipment??! thanks for the picture peli.

I'm not sure I am looking in the right area but I think that it is normal...

It looks like it is designed to collect water along the cowling, if it is what I'm seeing.

One of the macines may be wierd during the stamping process. Could tell someone, although I don't see our cars falling apart from this one.

Who 'effing knows? One of the design engineers was probably hung over from a shitload of Kirin beer and looking at anime' porn when he drew that up and the production guys thought "Well, I guess it's supposed to be like that" so there they went.

I swear, I think they just do stuff sometimes to either show off or make us go "WTF?"

06CivEXJon · 09-28-2006, 02:08 PM

So what the hell does this dent do? it looks weird.

06CivEXJon · 09-30-2006, 10:38 PM

Anybody have any answers?

who cares, its a non-straight piece of metal, nothing more.
it effects zip, zero, a big egg, nodda, zilch.
its amazing the things that people on this site worry over. first 5w20 oil instead of 5w30 now this.

Well we are paying well over 20k for our cars including insurance and stuff, so i don't know about you but i will worry about everything specially if you are working and paying for your car.

06CivEXJon · 10-01-2006, 04:31 AM

I also care, cause my EX was 19K, and i want to know why that metal is bent like that. I think there are too many pot smokers, or crack addicts working at the Alliston Ontario plant to be honest, they just do not care about the quality of their work at that plant.

This reminds me of the blond Marine who came to see me once because she thought her entire body was broken. She told me that everywhere she touched it hurt. She proceeded to touch her arm, her forehead, her knee, and said... "see doc, I am broken everywhere!" I said nope, just your finger.

Well hopefully other members will post their pics of this also.
