very nice job ripper , when you're finished you can come and do mine, cos its taking me forever to put together.

Whats the crack with that mod on the I/C? Im putting a cossie motor into mine and was just curious.

Steve

 

the mod to the intercooler is so it will have the inlet and outlet coming out either side of the rad an allows me to mount it right forward right behind the grill plus a bit more cooling
