    7mgtesuprapat was over the other day and he suggested the same, but I think the hole may be a little bit too wide. I dont know how the plastic duct would look on the chrome bumper though.....

    I found another problem last night... I will not be able to mount the intercooler as low as I expected to. The factory bumper mounts (shocks) are stopping me from lowering the intercooler enough to clear the center piect under the grille. I found some square tubing in the garage that is...

    The downpipe has a flex section in it and if I push it up I can basically just get the whole thing to damn near rest on the floor. I still need to find a way to get 3" pipe to cross over and find a good sounding muffler that is relatively quiet, but not too quiet. I dont a big apexi N1 or...

    I was going to leave it off at first but after a little thinking I figured it would be best just to keep it in place because I have no way to get brackets to hold the radiator and the radiator is not in the stock location. It has moved forward about 3" I believe. The sides that the headlights...

    The ic is going to go right behind the front bumper below the grille. It is still a realllly tight fit, I need to cut a lot of support out of the back of the bumper to get it to drop down enough to hook the pipes up. There will not be much airflow to it at al with it hidden like that, butI am...

    Ongoing INTERCOOLER, PIPING, AIR INTAKE. SO this is going to be one of the toughest parts I believe. Intercooler. There is not really all the much room to mount the intercooler, it is too tall to fit all the way behind the bumper (which will also be modified for airflow, after I get it...
