well tbh i was going to just stick with the 8 rear bumper, but im not sure what to do atm because i might just get a custom rear diffuser made for it,:D

and yep thats right its the A/C fan thats missing as iv removed it, im getting a Koyo rad and will be running 2 slimline fans on the engine side:razz:

A IX bumper would be better, come on sort it out lad :):)

Um, you probably won't get a slimline between the koyo and the turbo mate. Too thick.
And if you went smaller diameter then I doubt it will be efficient enough. If you have removed the aircon then stick both fans bumper side :)

yeah f eck it ill get one, then i know its alls good and wont fall apart ect, ha,

isn't the Koyo something like 5" and yeah i didn't think of that actually tbh, now i come to think thou wouldn't the air being pushed onto the rad from the front and the fans on the back be the better option:)

Looks a totally different car.. Hard to think how you bought it. A lot of work has gone in there.

Think its day light robbery for a clear cover.. Sure indigo sell them so will have to go and ask.

Down side there is I don't have hks pulleys :( running BDL items on the hks cams. Don't look as good as the hks ones lol.

Haha, best way too earn just get stuck in..more of a sleeping in stock form ;)

Can't fault that.. Someone got a bargain and can see why it's a lot easier to swap than try and sell it on

Haha.. They look good just the cost per cam pulley was too much.

Splitter is a must. Would look good with a yellow cage :) want to track the car?
