Did you move the radiatior at all? It looks like the intercooler piping is gone undernieth the radiator. I really like this idea, but do you find that your intercooler piping is really low to the ground? What are your cooling temps, and problems?
Thanks..love the set up

Cooler pipes are low, but not to low (still over legal Aus height limit of 10cm)
Cooling temps perfect after recently installing PWR alluminium radiator, however if i was to do one up again i wouldnt use a FMIC id use one of the ones that sits flush in engine bay (cant remember name for them) VMOUNT?!
Check out my oil cap in the last pic!
How nice am i...went to trouble of jackin car up so u's could have a look..hahaha

Am i keeping u in suspense. When I get a chance ill get back under the car and show u's the cooler ends. These pics are of my old Rx2 running Series 6 motor, methanol injection and TV45 turbocharger
Bought this with a 13b NA bridgeport, got over it 2 quick, went all out and had a 10 second package dropped into it.
These pics are from when i got it back after having the work done
After having problems with the motor and Mazfix (particularly their inability to accept blame) i had the thing rebuilt again this time going for the all out drag car
These pics are of the turbo i used and the build up of the car itself
As is obvious from the pictures, the work performed on this wasnt cheap by any means and eventually it got to the stage where it was consuming both my life and my money to an excessive extent. That put together with the oppurtunity to purchase the series 8 led to me letting go of the car as an incomplete project. Wish i had of finished it but thats life.
Didnt get to enjoy it at all, would have been insane. Car weighed 960kg and in the limited tuning we managed to do was pulling 340@tyres on 8psi

It is a 2002 Spirit R for sale in New Zealand, there are currently 2 Spirit R's for sale here. NZ$54,500 is about US$37K.
We have a number of S8's for sale from about US$15K
We can get Japanese Imports into New Zealand easier than it is to get them into Australia.
