Popular Post 88fc3s Posted May 29, 2014 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 29, 2014 so there's a lot in this next update. I'll keep the writing to a minimum and basically let the pictures do the work.  for the cooling system I basically fabricated a new radiator support and welded it in. it was a stainless c channel I folded up then gussets pressed into it. this holds the radiator and bottom of radiator is mounted to intercooler  the water pipe was all fabricated from alloy. the pot on the motor is a air pot to catch air since the radiator is modified to run no filler  intercooler piping is alloy also 3" and 2.5"       12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88fc3s Posted June 3, 2014 Author Share Posted June 3, 2014 Been enjoying doing some small fab jobs. Made this alloy heat shield to try keep some heat away from the injectors and the temp senders on the rear of the water pot (for the water pump and ecu) Notice I machined the bc camber plates for more camber. So I could fit larger rims up front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88fc3s Posted June 3, 2014 Author Share Posted June 3, 2014 Ran water lines for turbo. Plumbed it up so it pulls water from the water inlet pipe so it's not getting hot water from motor. Then re plumbs back into the top of radiator Random pic of car in shed after cleaning both These rims I'm running I brought new. There xxr 526 18x9 and 10.5. I end up changing these rims but more on that later! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
