Thanks for the compliments fellas Glad to hear you guys like it. Once we duct it we will post pictures of the front bumper opening.

Took a overall picture of the kit today. I got a chance to clean up the engine bay a little bit and thought u guys would like to see a more clean version from the original posted pictures.

looks great, i was just wondering if it was possible to move the IC core towards the pass side more (if we don't stick our intake filter there, like 1-2inches to use the turbojeff batt tray

 

I can't wait to luck out for a change with the Canadian dollar at par! I hope it's ready soon.

 

So will you be able to use this kit with stock twins?

 

yes sir

 

OMG I need/want it NOW!

 

Just a point of concern (because the reason why I'm looking for a new setup is because of an enormous pot-hole):

How close is the bottom of the radiator to the ground?

Also, I was wondering where you mounted the radiator fans...

 

agree lol.

Will this be coming with a new radiator or can we use our own? (I have Koyo).

 

it WILL come with a rad, most vmounts do, or else it'd kinda defeat the whole purpose

 

I dont have a measurement right now, but the kit does retain the stock undertray. I basically daily drive my car(when it is running) and Dan shared my concern to make sure that the radiator sat at a safe level above the ground.

The radiator fans are mounted on the back side of the radiator in the same fashion as on the stock radiator.

I will try to get some pictures soon, maybe tomarrow, i have the day off.

Hey Chris Long time!

I saw you tried to PM me; drop me an email @ Info@FDNewbieImports.com, and put your name in the subject line. My PM box is always full...

Thanks!

Hey Ramy,

Yeah, I was gonna ask the 2 questions I posted above and say congrats on your store. My radiator's got a pretty nice hole in it so I think I'm gonna be waiting for your kit in the mean time.

I hate to ask because I know everyone does at least once a week, but how close are we to being able to buy the kit? I'm about ready to commit and sell my current IC.

 

Well if you'd like one of our prototype radiators so you can design your own kit we have two available.
But right now we're waiting on the final revision of the radiator, and because of a mixup with the machine shop it will take a bit longer then it already has. I'm hoping to get this kit finalized January. January seems like a long way off, but we need to make sure everyone can retain A/C and PS....otherwise the kit would be ready a bit sooner.

Regards,
Dan

 

ah, january! Damn hope that means very early jan haha

 

Ramy, are you guys going to stick with bar and plate core or possibly have a fin and tube type core option??

just wondering... >.>

 

Been keeping a close eye on this thread for a while now...have to say...WOW thats nice!

Looking forward to the release!

Just one Q...is there still room for an AST?

Thanks!

Jon

 

Jon,
There should be room for an AST. We'd like to include the elimination kit with the v-mount though, but I suppose we could have the option of keeping the AST.

Link,
That IC was the customers choice, our cores will be a tube and fin design. I've always preferred the tube and fin design over bar and plate

Regards,
Dan

 

Is the radiator or rad fans ahead or lower than the two tow hooks?

 

The v-mount is going to work with the stock undertray, which meanas it will clear anything the stock undertray will. Unless you want the radiator to get ripped off the car when going over a bump, we can design a special toolowtodrive edition radiator and mounts; but you'll have to sign a special waiver.

january?? perfect.. gives time for people to save up for the kit.. aw really would be nice to have thos hood shocks and engine damper

 

That's why I asked, also the stock undertray can be pulled just as low as the tow hooks and still attach to a low bumper. I wouldn't use the stock undertray fitting as criteria for it being higher than the tow hook loops. Take a look at the Knightsports install for an example of that.

 

+1

 

I'll look into it

 

Any update on this? Also, do you have an idea if it will be cheaper then the HKS V-Mount?
