It's on their old site, they said they make it too big on purpose. You should of read it when you bought it.

I did read, it did not say anything about that. I bought it right before they took most of the CF stuff off their web site. It was probly one of the last ones.

What would be the best way to trim the CF?

I know what it takes and I know about functionality. When i took this task I did my homework to ensure fitment and that it would do what it was designed to do. A panel that has as many holes as the one below to me is overkill and not necessary to secure a panel.


As opposed to this:


Those tiny little holes affect about nothing for the airflow. Leaving the overflow bottle there for me is what I wanted. I did not want to move it. I would still tke the signal auto over yours. Just my opinion. As well guys, it takes more than just adding a pannel. I did tons of ducting underneith it. I have yet to see my water temp go above 120-130 and my oil as well. I think that is prett good.

I realize that the pic that i have isnt very good... but i have one that is better that i will post in just a moment.

Also i my temp gauge keeps about 120 -125 and I like that as well... i only criticized the signal auto one because of all the holes and that to me seemed a bit too much when mine is cleaner.. just ask slo, sex in da rex and loudazzrx7 or Jager when he gets his in a few days



In this next pic you can see where I relocated the Overflow tank using an aluminum one that i made but you can buy an aftermarket one for about $14.00 on ebay

if your temp gauge is reading 120-125* your gauge is not accurate or something is not right with your cooling system. normal operating temp is 82*C (180*F)

I stand corrected. My oil temp is around 210-230. My water around 140. If my water temp are to low, hmmmmm. Ill have to look into that.

At night I am running about 125
During the day about 135
During the day with the AC on 170-180 tops and sometimes it drops below to 150-160 when i am not on the highway

Carlos Lopez of CLR Motorsports did something to the thermostat neck area as well... something where the water circulates a bit different. A simple procedure that costs less than 3 bucks

I also have a large 12" fan pushing in front of the AC Condenser

and as well I have a E-Fan on the Radiator that pulls over 3100 cfm

I also managed to close up the gap between the radiator and the latitudinal frame so the ram air goes directly to the radiator.. I also have the plastic cover underneath the motor to aid in channeling the air to cool the motor.

In Miami where its constant humidity and the heat index is up there I am glad that its running this much cooler...

It did say that. You just apparantly can't read. I remember it vividly since after you posted what you did, I just went to their site and double checked.

Pay attention.

*** I WILL NO LONGER BE SELLING PARTS ON THIS FORUM ***

I want to thank those of you who have purchased parts from me in the past but unfortunately due to my afiliation with Val has put a major dent in my business. Primarily he was responsible for introducing me to this forum as he was instrumental in creating this forum name account for me.

He is not a bad guy but just that he has received a bad rap from the RX club he started.

Others just have been too quick to point the finger without listening to the facts such as 13b4me who has made it a point to bash me at any and all expense and many of you have jumped on the same bandwagon professing some twisted sense of loyalty without having the facts.

In any case I have come to the decission to keep it out of the forums so I will no longer be selling parts. Those of you that have purchased items from me in the past can continue to contact me via email and I will do my best to continue the business relationship that we have established.

Thanks again for your support.. Good day mate,

Xavier
