Did you run the wiring through the inside of the guards? What radiator did you use?
Will get some up, yep wiring through right guard, just a fenix one. seams ok quite cheap. really mixed quality with them. mines really good, workmates one is identical but average quality, terrible welds etc.
Stays really cool, almost too cool, has genuine underdrive MFR pulleys, water pump bypass mod and no thermostat.
Fitted series 5 oilcooler in front but changed all lines and fittings to an- style with braided lines, runs 100psi oil pressure at idle cold so will see how long it puts up with that haha again stays really cool, have cut valance holes a little bigger to feed more air through.

Yeah I'm a purist, thanx for not sticking the air cleaner out the top. Looks real good, I like the spoiler and wheels.
And bet it goes like stink, good to hear it is still easy to drive, my fear would have been with the weight in the front it would lose some balance.
At least you kept it 1200 I guess.
Nice car.

Cheers they weigh about the same, rotary gearbox is a little heavier. It's set very low and as far back as possible, the air cleaner will never be out the bonnet haha

Haha sweet, not a familiar sound like it used to be, with the popularity of drifting and turbo nissans/toyotas etc.
Good thing for an enthusiast when all the muppets move on to something new

Very cool car bro. 13s look sick, anything else looks too big on them.
