^ nice

Osvaldo Orozco: i have no idea. bought from a friend. there's several companies out there that has catches like that. moroso b&r etc.

bks84 i stripped one of my red/blue so i had to use a black one.

fitseries3 which one did you run? the plastic one is pretty small compared to the aluminum one. all in fab has fat *** cores, i dont see why something so smaller in width would require that much cutting..

i did use an ebay half core to make a custom one. though i didnt finish it, you get the idea of a cheap custom fab rad. bought some aluminum from home depot and did some new ends.

i guess there are 2 options for EG's, custom fab a radiator, or buy the all in fab one for $400+shipping.

im a fan of doing everything myself and figuring out what parts to use/fabing things up etc. EVERY car i own i have built myself, by myself and the ONLY other person to even touch my cars is my tuner. i dont allow ANYONE other than my tuner EVER drive my cars either. i know i sound insane but thats just how i am.

This is on a del sol. I just had to take out the center support bar and trim the passenger side a bit for that nipple. I also cut two holes into the top of the bottom support for the legs of the radiator.

Great install. Get some Al sheet and fill in those gaps around the sides and you should get some really good cooling out of that setup.

Would item #15 be the AC switch block off plate? Just looking for that small piece that covers the AC button.

Thanks!

Roti- #15 does say air conditioner switch lid. So looks good to me. Have you thought about hitting up a junkyard?

I'm not sure how it is in Atlanta, but you won't really find non-ac cars here in Florida. All the dealers here installed it in every single one before they ever hit the lot.

I did, but I don't mind paying a couple extra bucks if it saves me time. It's only $4.

Yeah, I am pretty confident it is the correct item, just thought I'd double check.

Yeah, I don't know that I would find too many here without AC.

Little more work done to my tuck, currently stripping and redoing. Going slow but it's going.

Fabbed a bracket for my catch can and mounted it under the dash, ran a plastic fitting out of the breather holes, into hoses that go through to the firewall and the filters attatch to them. It came out ok, it's kinda a mock up, need a few more things. Hoping it works out well for me.

Thanks!

Let us know if you figure out how to get in there and replace it. I seem to remember I got the piece but couldn't figure out how to replace the A/C button with it. Could have also been a case of laziness

It works with the hood latch no problem. I just removed it temporarily because I did not have the cable attached to the latch and I did not want to lock myself out.

its nice to be different but I think the catch can is better off in that location where you have the filter at. Catch cans are a nice piece of fabrication and should be shown off.
