Picked up the silvia face last night. Had to drive 5 hours one way to pick it up.
Totally worth it. Got so lucky, ended up being the same color as the car!

My mock up created the saddest silvia ever.

WTF was that person thinking??? I could understand a short term fix, but nothing permanent!!! That's just ghetto and unsafe!

Well, I was doing an E-Fan setup today.
Decided to swap radiators cause mine was gross looking.

Emptied Rad.
Pulled Rad.
Put in new Rad.
Created Custom brackets for the new Rad.
Took off Clutch Fan.
Redid wiring for Flex-a-Lites
Tucked the Overflow tube, trimmed to fit perfect
Installed Flex-a-lites
Poured Coolant into Rad.
Coolant immediatly leaked out the bottom of new Rad.

FML.


Decided what the ****.
Grabbed a spare s14 Radiator I had laying around.
Tossed it on.
Sweet, overflow tube wont fit now that I trimmed it.
Untucked tube.
Layed it so that it would fit.
Janky custom mounts.
Filled with coolant.
Success.

you might want to do something different about the radiator brackets, the vibration will cut into the plastic over time.

I was thinking about that.... Maybe drill them out a bit more then add some rubber or hell cause im cheap some electrical tape.

Thanks man!
