Wow I am jealous. Very nice setup. You have a very clean engine bay. Can we get a pic from the front bumper to get an idea of the ducting from the bottom? You would probably get a lot better air flow if you have ducting on the top, and some kind of vented hood.

I also noticed that you relocated your coolant overflow tank. What is the reasoning behind this?

That's not his car.....he got the photo from somewhere else.

They relocated the tank to make room for the intakes. It could be done differently (and better IMO). The HKS kit completely seals in the rad and IC and uses a horizontal splitter that you can adjust to control the air each cooler sees. It's a very nice design and I love that it keeps a 51R size battery in the engine bay.

it's really more interesting on how they mount the coolant bleed tank and the AST....probably they use a smaller coolant tank from other car instead of our long neck ones.

Very nice!!!

I love how only HKS vmount uses your existing radiator... which lets you keep your fluidyne or whichever brand you have.
