Your lower spring perches are on upside down...
That said, I love the build! I'm using the EG33 also but in a different configuration and I'm nowhere near your stage of the build but I'm trudging along. Looking really good! smilie_pokal.gif



True!!!

I did drive the car with the 901, It run good but didn't like the shifting. In very little time I sold the adapter and bought a 2006 WRX tranny, made the cable shifter and it is a complete different animal...... I'm still using the stock outer CV joints and would need to upgrade soon.... I have 11 rear rims with 285 tires... and if I drop the hammer, even rolling, this thing goes sideways...and I know I will brake them soon....

Installed new Temp Sensor and Gauge. Didn't trust the old one. Bought Fahrenheit and send me Celsius dry.gif .

Anyway the car never went over 82 C, that is about 180 F.

Today I finally decide to work on my hood. The idea was to split in half the vent from the radiator to the hood. Why I needed to do that? Cause if I fix it to the hood it won’t open due to interference of a reinforce tube (pipe). Anyway this is what I end with. Still need to bondo it to make it look better. But is functional for now.

Did I mention I hate to work with fiberglass!!!! happy11.gif

you really don't need a fan much over 25 mile an hour....your installation will actually block flow thru at higher speeds...might be good enough for your street driving though ...

I like it! BUT you need a leading edge on the front of your hood exhaust to promote the venturi effect and get that airflow over the hood to suck air out of the radiator. Doesnt take much. Some kind of lip probaby an inch high would do wonders.

I will check on that. Average temperature here during summer is 90 F degrees. I always let the car to get to at least 160 degrees before going for a ride and never goes over 185 F degrees. Haven't taken the car for a trip longer than 30 minutes, so I’ll tell how it went on a longer trip. Thanks!

I used to have a “leading edge” (you can see it earlier on this threat) but I didn’t like how it turned out, so I rip it off and started from scratch. But yes… I will fab a leading edge.
I was thinking on something like this….but still not sure….

I like it! You no longer have a v8 so you wont need maximum cooling so I bet it'll be just fine! Are you going to graft it into your hood?

I might want something removable...

Been a while since I posted!!! I being doing bodywork (that I HATE), sanding and painting.

I still need to work on the hood. I already painted the car but need to fix some orange peels, runs, cut and buff....
My goal is to participate in the Okteenfest that is going to happen about 30 miles from here in September.
