nice placement of radiator, any idea how big you can go if you mount a slanted one close to stock location?

The oil cooler kind of look like an intercooler. That's the reason for "got rice". All I need now is one of them fake blowoff valves.

As for the rad at stock location I have no idea. You probably can't put one there as it will hit the engine if it is in fact slanted.

i thought you were reffering to the fact that your car now has a massive fearsome bodykit and nothing underthe hood to back it up. :P

How far down the street do you think that car will make it, before the entire bodykit catches a crack in the road and rips clean off?

I have problems with mine, and it's not even that low or prominent.....

EEK! That wiring looks like a spaghetti factory blew up.
At least it appears you have them labled.

Where do you plan on putting the actual intercooler?
I hope you're not putting it behind the radiator or oil cooler. As it is, the front opening is smaller than stock.

Well since there is a 2nd gen engine going in there, the rad can be filled from the waterpumphousing. As for the opening it is technically better than stock since there is a big wall around it and it's rounded. There will be air-tight ducting from the front around the coolers and rad and also some going from the back of the rad to the vent on the hood. The hood is ready and I will pick it up this week. We weighed it last week and it only weighs 11.4lbs.
