The car was tuned by LOOKatme and she runs like a boss. If you have a PfC and live around Colorado this is the guy you need to talk to. Thanks again Lookatme.

The car has come a long way but there is over spray on EVERYTHING! One of the number one signs of a cheap paint job is poor prep. The car looks great but the over spray would drive me NUTS!

I'm curious if it was really necessary to cut the wheel well liner for airflow on the oil coolers.

Or did you do it for fitment of the fans? Do they come on when the rad fans do or did you make a separate circuit with a target temperature?

I didn't need to cut the liner but I didn't want to create a pressure zone for the fan to fight against. I also wired the fan with its own 12V power supply and fuse. I put a switch by the shifter, the reason I didn't tap into the rad fans are I wanted the ability to turn the fans on a lot sooner.
