Looks like it is going to be a nicely presented car when finsih.

Not sure about the intercooler location though, still better than not having one of course.

How fast and how expensive ...... the same question...

Its an alternative fixing to Dzus (sp)? clips and you can lock them too, look pretty awsome aswell!

That car looks alot like mine! Same paint wheels and arches apart from the roof is white! Oh and mine doesnt have the engine in but has plenty of rust instead8)

Cool thread and very nice car! Keep it up!

i get the hint on the exhaust! its gone, scrapped, beaten with a hammer! rich 1275 is right its called an aerocatch, superb little gizmo it is too!

when i bought the engine it came with a rst intercooler, but was pretty beaten up. so this one was taken from my mates 200sx, not bad since its free. plus its out of the way of the engine heat.

Steveo,

I've looked at you pics and those from the yellow peril and there are differences (roof, rear lights etc.) so I'm going to say welcome aboard.
