Lightbulb Picture/Details request on your custom VMIC setup!

Hey, as the thread states, I would like to see pictures and details of your custom VMIC setup.

Need to know details :

What intercooler did you use, dimensions, how did you modify it?
What radiator did you use, dimensions, how did you modify it?
How did you mount the v-mount setup, how did you attach the radiator and intercooler to the body/frame?
Did you use any ducting?
Did you keep power steering?
Did you keep a/c?
How did you relocate p/s and/or the condenser?
What kind of tubing did you use for the radiator hoses?

Please include any other information that is relevant that I missed.
Please include any pictures of you complete setup.
Feel free to link to other threads, if the threads are large, please list what pages, or post numbers that are relevant to a custom VMIC.

Thanks in advance guys!

You're probably gonna get flamed for this thread since theres so many on this topic but ill play along lol..

What intercooler did you use, dimensions, how did you modify it?

Greddy fmic. cut and re-welded the pipes 180* aroun

Koyo, stock size, did not cut the bend off the top endtank pipe

Nope never had it

Did you keep a/c?

Nope, never had it

How did you relocate p/s and/or the condenser?

I used a cx racing radiator. It is way cheap and yes the fillement is bad but when you are cutting it up and welding new brakets who cares. Also used a ebay intercooler. The only real difference is name brands use higher quality metal so it may take some extra skill with the ol tig welder.

Yes I know you guys want to flame me.
I did do some searching on custom VMIC setups, most tho are buried in large build threads.
I really wanted to start this thread to consolidate people's custom VMIC's.

Thanks to those who have actually contributed info/pics of their setup.

BenjiRX-7 :
I'm really digging you setup there, especially how you found a way to keep a cold air intake for the stock twins!
