Bling It Up

[Johnny G]

So instead of shovelling mud in the Lord Mayors army yesterday, I had a day off and installed some bling on the BowlsMobile. Nice result;

Never realized those coolers were so tall!

Looks good.

Tall and deep - had to remove the foam pad from the undertray to get it back on! And the top goes all the way to the top - there aint no more room. And first time I think I've done a mod where I didn't cut/shove/push/move/destroy something to get it right. It fitted like a finger in a ____.

Oh - and PS; had to spin the calibra clamps around facing backward as the thread stems were too long for the tray as well(see pic). Wasn't that such fun to have to pull the front off again (note to self - check clearances you nong).

WOW that's awesome Johnny! looking great.

that's a monster! Looks awesome. V8 owners will crap there pants seeing that coming up in the rear view. Performance results?

Same as mine but different, I haven't got the red writing on mine..

Seems the goods, but the look funny from an angle..... Kinda like it's not on straight cos of the angle of the tanks... But a good upgrade... What pipes??? I have the herrod pipes.... Not to all they are a great price but the clamps are poo, so factor in another $20 for better hose clamps.. Although they do do the job... But I'm fussy..

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know the difference in air temperature at the intercooler inlet and outlet? Depending on the size of course. Just interested to know how efficient they are. Especially between the stock one and that monster above.

The Red Writing looks kind of out of Place on a G6ET IMHO.

Aggressive class? Takes the edge off the so called "Grandpa" car. I reckon its cool. You certainly wont see many.
