Looks good with the hoses now hidden, how does it go cooling wise with the oil cooler where it is? Not a lot of room for it anywhere else!

Hey mate, you left some of your wheel nuts here......I also want to see the turbos on it, they will be outside the front gards and will give it a bit more trak. Do you have tyres already, what rubber will go on them?
