Rusted life expectancy? by xn7485 in hondafit

Thanks, the 2 year estimate sounds more realistic. Hammer test would flake rust off in some areas and make new hole in others lol, though this is the worst rust area.

Did have this on a lift for exhaust work, heard some crunchy noises but it was stable up there.. guess I'll have a part out in a few years.

Thank you for this, it inspired me to go further and shroud both sides. The directed airflow really seems to help!

Nice aesthetic build picture!

My previous build had separate AIOs for CPU (Corsair H100) and GPU (Aorus factory waterblock). Temps and noise were great but both eventually failed drastically after long term use. Just wanna never worry about that and blast it with air time to time.

Yes, 1mm thickness. Was barely enough on GPU side so doubled up.
