CV Joints? We can knock that out, I have done more of those than I can count. Easy enough to check for broken boots.

Hmmmm. Have you checked the power steering fluid?

ok... so when installing a single oil cooler, and you are nearly done..... and then some guy, who shall remain nameless for now, comes over and suggests that we "cut" the bottom lip to help with air flow restriction.... slap him and tell him to go away!!!!!

Hey from the "pictures" I saw it looks as if that nearly one inch lip "could" have restricted flow to the rad!

ohhhh, that makes more sense. Actually seems like a decent idea lol. Guessing it took a while to get off? Someone in the thread he made for this mod mentioned that the rotary shape actually restricts quite a bit of airflow, so I'd imagine that lip could do quite a bit as well.

from where the oil cooler is located the rotary shape doesnt pose a problem.... whether is poses a problem for the condenser/radiator has yet to be seen... but with as much space is already there, i would think any air that is diverted would still hit the spot considered the way that compartment is enclosed, maybe just a little more turbulent though

Yeah I would like to create some type of air flow divert-er but we will see. I kinda just want to get this done already. I still have shocks, rear rotors, and some other small things to install. Not to mention get my hood repainted and my rims put on.
