Went to my parents house to pick up my radiator last night (where I have everything shipped). That's one more piece to the puzzle!

 

Nice!! You need to start posting pics of parts

 

I need more parts to show up! I suppose I can take some pics this weekend when I'm working on it. That should keep the thread at least somewhat entertaining lol

 

Yes!!! Do it.

 

I'll also be getting a set of 4 Nitto NT05's in 235/40 for some more traction and to fit nicely with the coilovers

 

Yes my faves!...got them sitting in the house waiting for spring!

 

Every car I've been in that had them seemed to hook really well for a street tire, so I'm hopeful that they work well on my setup! I mean you can only expect so much traction lol

 

You'll be Rollin round on slicks for the big boy races haha

 

That can be arranged I should order 2 more wheels and some sticky icky DR's that I won't tear up quite as fast on the street lol

 

Hell while you're on a roll buy a set for Canada

 

NO!! I've spent enough money lately lol

 

****** eh you have bud

 

cancelled.

 

Progress from this weekend. Didn't do a whole lot, but got some little things accomplished.

Trimmed the frame support beam to match the other car the intercooler came from. Core is 28x10x3.5" plus end tanks so I needed the room.



I then installed my new ZZP aluminum oversized radiator. In our mass cleaning spree last weekend I forgot to take the rubber grommets off of the bottom of my broken radiator before I threw it away, so I needed a solution. Searched around the shop and in true Taylor fashion had to rig something up lol, I found my friends stock ignition coils from his Evo and got an idea. Disassembled them and harvested these rubber pieces that happened to be the perfect size for the radiator posts and the brackets. They fit tighter than stock.





Then my friend and I welded tabs up to mount the intercooler.



Then I test fit the bumper, and there was plenty of room. Even enough to leave the fog lights in when the charge piping is connected. Time for a new plate!





That is about all that will get done until after Christmas. I'm going on vacation Wednesday

 

You should cut open your bumper, I'm debating it myself

 

Cut it! The redlines have a ton of room behind their bumpers compared the SSs. My intercooler is pressed tight against my bumper.

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S4 using CobaltSS

 

I don't know where I'd cut it without making it look like a hackjob, and then I'd have to repaint it (which isn't a big deal). I think I'll leave it alone, and say its a new H/E for my SC, it will go nicely with my under engine charge piping

 

Don't cut it! That's like showing to much leg...leave something for the imagination hahaha... But if it the extra airflow makes a big enough difference then chop it up!

 

There should be enough airflow since it sits so far behind the bumper, so it will stay intact

Also, shipping your trans after work today! As long as it meets their weight requirement lol.

 

Until you drive it then in think the jig is up lol

And I agree, don't hack your bumper apart

 

I'm good at driving like a grandma when I'm trying to stay low key lol

 

You can ship an lsj Trans ups. It's just under the weight limit.

 

Good cause that's where I was going to take it! Its 2 blocks from my shop, so convenient.

 

What piping are you running?

 

Nice work so far man.

Very clean install on that intercooler.
