I like as is, shame I have to put the bumper on

Just ordered these to replace the crappy normal jubilee clips i got with my FMIC kit. They are Mikalor clamps.



They are not cheap, but i don't want my hoses popping off all the time

This is the gauge pack i am getting, should look neat in the dash like the normal defi gauges hese do the full opening sweep 8) 8) Gotta love a bit of bling

I think these are good value compared to the noral Defi's, but they are obvisiouly smaller.

Looking good Logan - are you going to utilise the bonnet scoop for something else now? Oil Cooler?

[blacky]

Thats the thoughts yes, but gonna go without one to start with and monitor the temops closely, then look into placement and sizing etc

Looking Logan, keep it coming :-D

Is that an ebay FMIC mate?

If it is make sure you watch the charge temps.. i have seen some very poor results from these cores.

Dont wanna knock your project as it all looks great.. just dont wanna see your engine go pop either

[blacky]

Nah, its not an ebay one, got it from the groupbuy on Scoobynet, and a good friend of mine has the same core and his car is highly tuned and going fine, and he is in the know

[frayz]

Okay.. only there have been quite a few cheap copies coming from the far east using crap cores thats all..

Are you going to be monitering the ACTs at all?

[blacky]

yeh heard of them, and also the ones with the plated piping, after a while the plating corrodes ont eh iside of the piping and then falls off and gets sucked in

Ermmm, wasn't planning to, but now you mentioned it maybe I should, just to be on the safe side.

Would be a good idea to imo.

Zak @ Mocom racing does a kit .. give him a bell
