Wow the fins look brand new. Great job. Most used ICs are pretty haggard.

**fredio54** · 12-16-06, 17:55

it actually wasnt too bad before i wasted an hour or two straightening it. just a few places where something had rubbed against it and pushed them down...

(damn perfectionists)

hey, where did my ute go?

Just keep it discrete Fred... don't give the whole game away.

**M2cupcar** · 12-17-06, 11:28

That's big. What's the core size?
The mx5 will be getting a 3x12x21in / 8x30x54cm core as an upgrade to the tiny IC it has now. That's the biggest I can get in the nose and keep the ac.

**fredio54** · 12-17-06, 13:44

core is (tube and fin (and nicely made at that) ) 600x270x60

as much as i like discreet, that ute will never be discreet again...

unfortunate, but true.

a cheap bar and plate would have been easier to plumb, but i'll live with the issues just to have it that way.

it will be covered with a bumper and such...
