Made a start on the intercooler and downpipe :)

Hi,
Right then, I've so far chopped up 1 cossie IC and 1 new MPI front panel



















As you can see it'll be pre-engaged starter only as that lump will have to go off the wok
Next I need to get some end tanks knocked up, unfortunately I don't think it'll sit in the middle when finished. :(
At least it'll be out the engine bay and in good air flow :)
Cheers,
Gavin :)

Ah I offered mine up today, it seems to end conviniently inline with both tie rods.

Any chance of a full frontal view (of the car..few)! Would be good to see how stealthy it looks.

I pretty much ruled out this option today but that looks like it could work?

Hi Matty,
I think it's possible. If you take a look on my website, you'll see it looks possible with 2" pipework and fabricated end tanks.
I'll try to take some more pics the weekend to put on my site
Cheers,
Gavin :)

Have you had a chance to take any more pics mate?

I see you've chopped the cone shape off the wok, never thought of that as an option. Lol

lol matty, from now on i will always be calling it a wok!

Hi,
Don't chop it off if you got an inertia starter!
EDIT: going to call this mod the chinese takeaway!
Cheers,
Gavin :)

That's a quality piece of fabrication, nice work!

Nice, thats good to know that it is possible to get it to fit there!

The more I think about it the better that location is, no heat soak from radiators, engines etc.. and the its going to get shite loads of cold air through it! :)

That better not be my Mirage down pipe!

Looking good, I wish I could say I was making progress with my projects.

Just make sure you can fit / remove the IC with the body kit fitted.

matt-will you have enough ground clearance to do this?
Previously you only had 3microns of ground clearance

Hi,
Matty ... That's the plan
Snakeii .. I've got a Metro starter on there at the moment, but if you want pics let me know :)
Rob ... I wouldn't dream of it, yours is still in the box wrapped in newspaper
Cheers,
Gavin :)
