Honda Ridgeline "Wabi-Sabi" prerunner build

Well, I can safely say the ACES EFI was money well spent. What a dream for tuning and setup. Ran great out there in ocotillo and the more I drove it, the better it got. Not a single stumble or hiccup. I needed to add some fans to the radiator as it got a little warm (currently does not have and cooling fans) but it already is super smooth and I haven't even started turning the bypass tubes. 27"F/36"R travel is kind of a bandaid for poor shock tuning I guess lol. Add it to the list. 2163.webp2163.webpPXL_20260222_005437219.webpPXL_20260222_002013798.webpPXL_20260222_005413306.webp
 
More cooling on the way. With the angle of the radiator and the shape of the truck as it is, there isn't a lot of airflow as is. Definitely got warm on the last shakedown run. So here we are. I may have to add a dance roof scoop of some sort and ducting if this doesn't solve the issues.

Any luck on a body? I would love to see the Ridgeline race truck body fall off it and land on your gem.
No. I pretty much wrote off getting a fiberglass clip at least for a season. Chances are I'll end up running a first gen tundra clip and modifying it. I may just design something myself or do a truggy style front clip

can you have the part of the radiator closest to the cab be the high point and take the part at the back and put it down so you get some air from under the chassis up past the radiator?
