would it not of been better using a smaller hight intercooler with a thicker core? as you are going to have restricted airflow due to the bumper anyways?

stunning fabrication on the car tho mate!

Well I wouldnt be able to fit a thicker core.. It`s 5" the one I have..
And it will get the air it need, will be cutting a bigger hole in the front bumper.

ah okay mate, 5" core, bloody hell those picks do not do it justice! would love to see it in the flesh!

i would be carefull with cutting the hole on such a sexy front bumper, but then again its a Go car and not a Show car!

keep it up!

Mabye I should take my HD camcorder and take a walk around video of the car..

Hade to get a new fastner for the trottle wire as I couldnt find the ends for the wire to fit on the ball joint on the trottle bodie..

So I got this:
And it looks to work great.

Looking fab. I\'ve had a throttle like that on the FB for the past 2 yrs and has never missed a beat ! Looking amazing as always. What kind of power are aiming for when its complete ?
