The new radiator is thicker right? It looks like it'll be a tight fit once the turbo is in there.

long time no post.

Yeah, that's the only thing Im worried about. I'll figure it out once I get the motor in. Id check clearance now, but there isn't a motor in the car.

Welcome back BTW!

But how are you keeping the hood latch from bending without the support?

That's just temporary, I'll put something in place to support it.

He said they are noisey and you have to replace them sooner than later.

Nice looking pipes d00d.

Spal fans are good though right?

[Identity_X]

I agree that the fan is a little too loud. Here are a couple of pics of how tight things get with the vj23 in there....

[Marc93lx]

Damn, lol. I'll find a way to make it fit. hehe

Oh, and my Greddy boost gauge came in the mail yesterday. I'll post pics once I find the camera.

I just ordered a HVLP paint gun, and Im about to order the paint so I can get the car painted. I want to do that while the engine is out. Also I need to hurry with the paint before it starts getting cold, I'll have to do this outside. I think I will build some sort of paint booth around the car in my driveway to help keep contaminants out of the paint. I can't wait.
