Mocking up the GReddy V-mount Radiator - FD RX-7

A ton of good info on this one... My old GoPro said no more, so I did a lot of stuff to speed up this project. It's taking more time than expected, but I've found many things that need to be fixed/replaced during this process. In this video, you will discover how to replace the rear main seal and the differences between the RX-8 and RX-7 seals. I also tap the rear iron coolant hole to a 1/8 NPT, showing what to do if you consider removing the Oil Metering Pump and more. Lastly, the new GReddy radiator was mocked up to use it as a reference for another fellow FD owner. Enjoy!

Thanks for the feedback. I haven't installed the undertray, but I didn't have to modify the hood latch. What I need to do is improve the air flow. The bumper was modified for a front mount intercooler, and there are gaps between the bumper and the radiator.
