You've been busy.
Looks good.
Maybe it's just the angle of the road or seomthing, but it looks like the back end is a little high. Or perhaps the front is a little low. Purely from a 'looks' point of view of course. I'm not entirely sure of the performance characteristics, of the way an FC is sitting. So, if that benefits performance at all, ignore this!

Haven't we ALL heard this
I like those brackets for the EFan...did that come with the fan?
I noticed you have your water temp sensor in the upper radiator hose. Wouldn't you want it in the lower hose. I would think it being in the upper hose you would have no way of telling thermostat was stuck closed until it was way to late?

costs $199.95
Its kinda pricey, but very easy to install, comes with brackets and other stuff. Id suggest it if your not limited by money.

Passing life by
Rotors look great. Good choice on fan.
What I did about the batt tray was grab one corner with both hands and YANK! Then I was able to vice grip the rusted bolts out or cut them off.

I dont see how it will be possible for that efan to cool NEARLY as well as the stock fan with shroud. That thing is WAY to small and doesnt cover NEAR the whole rad.
What are you temps?

normal cruising on the highway at about 3k in 5th, the temps will be around 180-200, but keep in mind i also have the koyo and the fan is really used when the car is sitting still. Also my ac radiator thing (cant think of what its called) is removed. I havnt seen temps above 200 yet, and its been around 75 degrees here.
