Third's The Charm!

[Tangles]

....

first was stock side-mount intercooler, then stock R34 smic, then Apexi 'Hybrid' medium sized 290x200 fmic, now a $45 trust 600x300 from moderator whatsisname (top bloke btw)

put it on 2 days ago underneath the reo bar, but that was no good, far too low.

today my 5mm wheel spacers arrived, $5ea billet aluminium very good quality, whacked them on each rim, and decided to redo the fmic install, going with what I had to work with.

test driving afterwards proved that the wider wheelbase (10mm) makes the wagon track as it should, feels SO so good.

had the front bar off in 5mins, and took mytime undoing each bolt clamp.

grabbed the angle grider and cut 5mm in and across, just a 600mm long section where required.

hung the cooler up with 2 fresh drill holes at the top of the reo (cooler had 2 top brackets, handy) and bolted it up, sturdy as can be. nice and square, regular-like.

then bolted the pipes back together, starting at the airbox and worked my way across. used what I had (all lipped ends, 3ply joiners, bolt clamps) and seems to be pretty good.

will run some aluminium mesh across the bottom of the cooler bolted to each cut corner of the dayz front bar

had a quick hills run, no problems. needs some tyres and a wheel alignment in around a thousand kms tho.

as said however the extra wheel base width suits the attessa so much ! awesomness~200 ! handles very well indeed, watch out this is one sharp wagon !

230kw when tuned on the 12th at Boostwerks is my guess, using the sard extra injector and hks controller

Tangles - boosting happily thru the twisties

Spotted a white stagea on sth rd morphett vale, Bumper chopped out with some shocking intercooler fitment! (looked like a 5yr old mounted it!)

If it was you someone doesn't like it on ns!

I don't like the chopped bar look to VL turbo for me. But if you like it then thats what is important!
