Default FRONT MOUNT INTERCOOLER

HI ALL
Im running the group buy on front mount intercoolers for the classic this is the second run of the group buy and starts from page 11

https://www.scoobynet.com/group-buys...ic-kit-11.html

https://www.scoobynet.com/group-buys...group-buy.html

Im also attempting writing a project thread on how to do this right from the start through to the end with a step by step guide

https://www.scoobynet.com/projects-4...r-project.html

i would appreciate any comments hints or tips as long as they are constructive if you have any witty comments could you post here in the essex forum always up for a chuckle but trying to keep the project thread on a serious note for future snet referance

if anyone from the essex group would like any help fitting a front mount im always willing to get my hands dirty

HOPE THIS MAY BE OF HELP TO MEMBERS

it sure is tempting. have got a my02 wrx ic to go on but by the time i mess about with it, it might be worth going down the front mount route.

YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO

Ive been buying and selling intercoolers for the last couple of months 2xsti8 1x05 wrx 1x stiv4 and the one off my car a arc aftermarket so im now £££s up in profit and this will pay for the front mount

theres plenty of time to jump on the group buy as it will be a couple or so weeks yet before bren@apex takes del

IF YOUR LOCAL ILL BE WILLING TO GIVE YOU A HAND IF YOU SOURCE ALL PARTS FIRST YOU COULD TURN ROUND IN A DAY WEEKEND AT THE MOST
