That other guy named Ed and DVs CRII build

DV: Question. You said the top of the trunk latch was mounted 14 1/2"" OC from the botton lip of the trunk lid. Did you measure it following the curve of the lid or is it diagonally straight accross?

Also wondering why CapTeddie's oil coller was not mounted in the bottom air scoop. Is that not what that lower scoop was designed for? Is there a problem if you mount it there?

Hey Jim!

First off... This goes out to everybody following DV on this thread and/or the CRII forum. His internet access is hosed. I'll get him back online this Saturday when I get to the shop. Standby and be patient...

Jim... I'm not sure I have the answer to the ??? about the cooler being mounted where it is, but here's my VERY uneducated guess.

1st. the cooler you see on my car is for the automatic C6 I'm running in the car and not an engine oil cooler. 2nd. My thought was that after the lower fiberglass air shoot was glassed in, it channels air right to the oil pan.

I'm sure I'll be corrected, but thats my guess

OK! Just got back from DVs and we squashed some more gremlins

First of all DVs internet access should be much better from here on out, so hopefully he'll be back posting his insight and wisdom.

Now.... Let me see if I can figure out how to imbed a youtube clip from today.
