Yeah going for that setup. The Honda Del Sol is a really tiny rad, should be interesting to see how it turns out.

Cool, was thinkin' the intercooler might have been a bit thin (in width) for the outlets to go around the rad. Side by side should sort it tho'.

Yeah should be a good fit side by side :thumright: The Rad is 2" thick and the IC is 4", plus both are very blingy being all alloy.
Thinking of doing a cooling reroute now since I'll be taking off the rad and pipes. The list seems to just be going on and on :scratch:

Oh wow...cough.
Time for the SC Ash man, it's time and you know it dude.
I've been kickin you for the last few years to get it (or a turbo....which is BETTER BTW). And.... you know you've wanted it for a LONG time so go fookin go get it Bro and stop getting extra Bling stuff 8)

(edit) Yeah, I can't see the lip or the rear spoiler in that photo man, if we cant see them do you think they will do any good on your car ? Whatever about the front lip (that we can't see) the rear spolier (that we have seen before) will do fook all on the car, so why have it there in the first place ?

Errmm ok.
Firstly the front lip will provide better stability at 60mph and also direct air towards the front brakes.

The rear spoiler is purely for looks but so are most spoilers.
The one you have bought will have no affect on downforce whatsoever so that as you so eloquently put it "will do fook all" so before you fit that consider why you are going to put it there at all!!!

As for the supercharger. Yeah one day i will but for now with the fact that we will be starting to build a house early in the new year now might not be the best time to go and blow a grand on one. :wink:

Oh and heres a better pic for ya
