Sime,

How did that intercooler reservoir tank integrate/clash with the clutch hard line? If i'm interpreting that photo correctly it looks like the tank goes right where most people run the hard line (on the back of those two horizontal angled braces).

Any tips you have in general about fitting the intercooler system, i'd love to hear!

cheers
Mike

Sime I notice you've already done some work to the body immediately in front of the bonnet opening. Are you by any chance considering GTO-style air vents to feed that monstrous air cleaner, similar to the AK cars?

Hi Don,

I will be running the cold air box as supplied by Pace to suit the LSA motor, but it picks up cold air from the mouth opening. I'm not considering the GTO intake.

The reason the filler is there is due to the body being a little low in that area. We put filler there to level it up.

Cheers,
Sime
