post-20653-1188121213_thumb.jpg Here's my install,

Just a R34 GTT Monsta kit, with some stuffing around with the passangers side piping (had to use the old intercooler to intake pipe with about 1.5" & the big 90 degree bend off the intercooler with the insulation stripped off. You've got to cut a hole under the battery tray, but if you measure & cut it carefully it looks factory. Plus i had to trip the reo bar about 3/4" at the bottom to clear the end tanks as the core is too thick & hits the AT cooler (Series 2)

I don't need an interccooler that can handle 10,000,000hp, I'm only after around 300Kw so I didn't see the point of spending my hard earned cash on something i just won't use. So after weighing it all up, you just can't go wrong for $300 delivered!

I've yet to see a cooler with this layout, so no, I can't say I have.

I do know that these style intercoolers exist (albeit rare), but I personally haven't seen it applied to a Stagea yet, nor seen one that may suit the job.

Has anyone else fitted a cooler with both ends on the same side of the cooler? seems alot easier to run piping straight up rather than up and across from the other side from what i can gather

pwr on the goldcoast make a i/c with inlet & outlet on the same side, it costs approx $800 without piping & seems a bit heavy (weight wise)

i have just fitted a greedy type m to my s1(hole under battery etc etc,)

Just about to attempt an R33 ARC intercooler fit to a S2, same side return, expecting a tight fit where the 2 pipes pass into the stock intercooler area, will post pics if a success. Have heard its an easy job with S1s, but I feel the S2 bumper is more restrictive with space.

Lee, sorry for going OT but I like your eyelids for your car, where did you get them? And why do you have mesh over your licence plate?

I'm thinking for simplicity sake, a R34GTT SMIC and water spray kit is going to be the way to go for our Stag. I can't imagine my wife letting cut up the front bar of HER Stag!!!

Cheers, Greg.

I also noticed the mesh... looks freaken weird... what on earth is it for? My only guess would be to prevent red light cameras getting a good shot if it is shooting from an angle.

I'm certain there are laws against objects obstructing the plates, I'd be careful if I was you as you might end up copping a fine for that instead.

lol :laughing-smiley-014: ........ i thought the mesh would get a few comments. after my wife has just purchased personalised plates i decided that i no longer liked my shitty standard ones. i'm definitely going the thinner personalised plates myself. ps. the mesh was just for the photo.

leigh

I just got a FPV Typhoon cooler I'm hoping to run the piping back through the smic holes..... when my car gets here. It's not huge, core measures 175h x 370w x 55d. I'm never gonna be chasing over 200rwkw though, and it cost me bit over $100.... piping shouldn't cost too much to get made up should it? post-29840-1190763699_thumb.jpg

looks good chook, did you retain the factory piping in the engine bay from the factory cooler? or was this replaced as well.

How much was the kit if you dont mind me asking, I assume it would fit a S1 stagea also..

cheers

nothing was touched in the engine bay, pipes went into the factory rubber hoses. Ive heard from another member who fitted one to a S1, no problems as well. I got mine in the classified section privately, but new cond, for $900, not cheap these days for an IC, but you pay for quality and ease of fitment. ie, rather not spend days getting pipes made up to fit.

    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......  
    • I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.
    • IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
    • Nah, I'm not an a-hole, ha ha!   I do like the colour match. Some of the carbon fibre wraps are quite freaking horrible. There's one a local company I know uses, and it looks damn good! Also very very expensive per metre to buy! ha ha ha It might be cheaper to respray the roof than use the good CF Wrap, ha ha!
    • Please noooooooo 😭 As for wrap, no thank you mate, I've seen and used "carbon fibre" wrap before, and for these hard tops, they look soooo good when colour matched Like this >>>
