Yeah car related for sure, I don't want to end up with a candle or some **** (unless it smells like gas or uncatted rotary).

Bad timing but I would like that Netbook. Trade for a crap ton of stock intake boxes and VFAD assemblies?

He did. I am going to call around and see if I can score me a motor so I can get the car up and running. He did say that there were plenty of guys willing to help with the install which is very nice.

Nope not at all Booricua. You are welcome to come check out my mods on Saturday if you have time. the engine is out so you can see them up close.

I would never buy what I consider the best rad on the market but the story is much deeper. You will have to visit with me or 9k some time for more info.

Currently I am running the mazmart, rad, pump and thermostat. with a custom rad pack and coolant.

Mizu fits fine and works great. Stock cooling system actually work great too if working properly.

Yea Borricua, I would just keep the stock Rad unless you beat it up? The fans are a good choice but toward the bottom with a build like what you are going through (my opinion anyway )

come swing by Saturday, you will enjoy the crowd I assure you
