Awesome. It is on my list.

good looking car, i'll have to get use to the tail lights but they are done cleanly. Did the radiator help bring down the engine temps as far as in the gauge cluster? Hopefully we'll meet at the track one day and u can show me what a DOHC is really all about lol. By the way who's gonna be doing your tuning cause i want a dyno graph with a/f ratio's. I'll post mine up too in mid march when everything is on and working and we'll compare since we have alot of the same fuel management.

unfortunately, due to my shaved door handles, i am not sanctioned to race on the track from what i was told. i'm gonna have my car tuned and dynoed @ DRT in woodside, NY.

hmm...never knew about the shaved door handles thing it makes sense tho.

yea, many tracks don't let people with shaved door handles run as a safety precaution- i think it's because of the thought that if you were to get into an accident at the track, that it would be highly difficult to remove you from the car.

in any event... the new radiator and catch pan look good. do you notice any differences with it, or is it just preplanned work for the turbo?

it is all preplanned work for the turbo, but even for a N/A setup, its worth it. the temp is slightly lower and the oil catch tank does work by catching the oil vapor instead of letting it build up through the intake manifold.

[uncle_el]

interesting... so if anyone else were to do the radiator upgrade, is it necessary to get the new oil catch tank as well? or is it a combo (i.e. when you purchase the radiator, you also get the catch tank)?

seems like a very worthwhile mod, esp. if the car is going to be run hard and long.

you don't need both..i had to change the radiator coz the stock one was leaking already and i wanted an upgrade; the catch tank i installed coz i always wanted one and the fact that it works for N/A and turbo setups.

[MRX]

what two things does the oil catch tank go between...the valve cover and what? I'll install mine this weekend i guess

nice ride.

to remove that stain. first u should of used a stainless steel brush. u didnt and probably used a copper brush and that stained it...u may be able to use a stainless steel brush and really strip it down.

u can get some mothers polish for rims and use it on that portion and it may work, or get a dremel with some of that polish and that cotton wheel and then work on that spot...

[PRIMOCB7]

i got the stain off weeks ago..thanx for the info. i used greased lightning engine cleaner and it worked. btw, i got my hands on this 'local' aluminum polish. DAMN!!! it puts 'Mothers' polish to shame. imma have pics of it by wed..its called the 'Brooklyn Ball Buster'
