  • Koyo All-Aluminum Racing Radiator
  • Samco Sport Black Silicone Radiator Hoses
  • Carbotech XP-8 Ceramic Front Brake Pads
  • Carbotech XP-8 Ceramic Rear Brake Pads
  • ATE Super Blue Racing Brake Fluid
hopefully as usual i will see my parts from clayton tomowrow and have fun installing them! i also have a huge day in front of me tomowrow in that i have to fix everything that P&L messed up when they installed my clutch. they did a great job installing the clutch, its just that after they removed all the fmic pipes to do the install, they re-installed the pipes half ass and their all ****ed and not sitting properly...also all the couplers arent straight, and the clamps instead of being on top, are in all different locations.

also, i've been thinking about painting my tails in the same manner as my headlights.....semi-flat black with chrome ring accents....however im unsure about cutting the tails up.....what do you guys think

MK
sounds like a good setup.

also sounds like you're a little anal about your clamps

I don't blame you.

misimoto radiator is a cheaper alternative to the koyo radiator and go for just over $200

final setup of your car came out great--big ups

I am scared to see the total cost MK has spent on this vehicle.


Nice setup though.
