I have a feeling you will change your mind in the summer and get more air in the front of that thing.

Nice job-looks aggressive! Is that a dent in the bottom of the new cooler? I traded the Greddy 3 core kit for the one you have. Then I decided I didn't want to cut up the front end and lose the foglights, so I sold it and am going custom.

That is a dent. I thought no one would notice. The jack I have lowers really quickly and to slow it down I pump the jack down slowly while loosening it and it still dropped too fast and the bar put a nice dent on the core. I'm not sure if there is anything I can do to make it look a little better but I'm reluctant to try since I may mess it up even more.

I also need to get a radiator panel as well as a nice lip.

Well, for the price, unless you wanna go custom (not always cheaper), you can't beat the GReddy V-SPL..

Thanks. I had to put put #5 (throttle body pipe) on a bench vise to get less than a 1/4" of clearance to fit next to the PS.

Looks great! Nice to see an install that still has the battery, fan, shroud, a/c, and p/s under the hood. Everyone seems to like getting rid of all the accessories in their street car these days .

Thanks again guys. Hopefully I can get ahold of a EBC soon so I can tune my car and finally get some numbers down.
