Man its looking real good under there i cant wait for the "It's running now" post lol
just a thought... have you given any thought to getting an aluminum radiator? like a CBRD or something else that will put the upper neck closer to the driver side head light? so you can use a straight radiator hose.

I can't wait 'til you finish this car dude.
I've said this before, this is the car my car wants to be.
Yeah I actually have, and its still something I want to do for the future, that upper radiator hard pipe cost me about $40 to make. Towards the end of this build money started getting a little tight due to my wedding coming along in 6 months which me and the wife are paying for ourselves. The CBRD appears to be very much like the Koyo EVO5 radiator, I know guys with top mount manifolds were using them because of the upper inlet location being offset. At some point I will contact Koyo or CBRD and buy just a core w/tanks on it but without any mounting tabs, this way I can mock up my own and tig them on in the right place, the last thing I wanna do is start cutting and grinding a new radiator, besides aluminum grinds down like SHIT.
Dam it looks good brian ;)
Tomorrow is D-Day........
VIDEO!!!!!!!!! must have vid of first running start up
Its Alive !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*jumps up and down*
I wanna see!!!
coming saturday?
YES
Saturday I am going to be tuning the car at sunrise probably up until about 5 mins before the meet. I gotta put all the body parts back on tomorrow
So far so good. Car is running well, working out little bugs as I go, but overall, everything is good. I am working on getting a Koyo EVO5 radiator in the car next week just in time for the drive down to the Mid Atlantic Meet
Cant wait to see it at the meet
Ok so I have still been working out some bugs. Not really difficult bugs, but moreso problems with bolts rattling themselves loose and shit falling out/off. So alot of stuff in the engine bay has been loctited for safety since this thing vibrates the balls off the car because of the solid motor mounts and no balance shafts.
I was able to get the EVO5 radiator a few weeks ago and get it fit right and hooked up. I finally decided to get some pics of it today. If you look in one of the pics from the bottom, you can see where I cut and grinded the old tab off and relocated it and had it TIG'd on.

Very clean. Radiator has a nice straight angle for the upper pipe now. Numbers! We need them!
