Why do i never get asked by some tuner/customiser if they can borrow my car?? :p
Looks great mate. Have seen this kinda thing done on Skylines, Supra etc etc and was wondering when they\'d get round to FDs

I really like what they have done to the Apexi intakes. That heatshield looks an ace idea.

When will they have these bits for sale and have they given you an idea of the prices ?

yeah i\'m liking that filter cover set up.  wonder how much and if they can do one for the HKS?  Mind you, I have a severe lack of space down that side because of the largen Rad and AST etc

I think they will have to develop a new air box as I dont think the current one will fit in with a V-Mount intercooler and Rad.  Would be interested to see pics of the V-Mount kit when fitted.  Any Idea on price?

what do you think?

I think it\'s about time too! :p

I may be taking mine down there at some point, for some modifications to my v-mount. I\'m thinking about having a more inclined rad - or different rad altogether!

What\'s the spec of your rad? And did they supply the AST? Cos that\'s where i have my plastic one, and need a metal one instead.

How about an inverted V-Mount where it\'s mounted at the bottom and not the top ?
Or a IC-RAD combo which takes up the front, deeper cored ?
Or a Chargecooler ?
