Hey nuke did you talk to Grey @ MRD about trading your stock intake for some welding? If so he is still interested.

Good to see everything coming along well.

if you have a good tech, pay them to install the radiator.. that is the most annoying thing i have installed in many, many years.

btw, the bhr rad is very very good. it was worth the pain..

now lets get a review of the a pillars.. or at least comment on the quality and hold them up..

or it didnt happen..

beers

nice, did you try how if fit? one thing i am concerning this kind of gauge pod is if you got hit by another car, the airbag will pop out and the gauge will slap your face! my friend got hit when the evolution got hit by another car. so be careful.
The BHR radiator isn't as hard as installing the turbo. but just drity work and lazy rather pay to do it, and i am one lazy one hehe.
