Trust me these things are on my mind everyday.

Robs is at the stage of waiting for the welding but I keep getting let down.

The other one I made just wanted ally brazing but I don't know if it'll get to hot and melt the intercooler section before brazing will work! I guess there's only one way to find out.

One things for sure, robs will never ever be made again hahahaha

No pressure Pete. :whistle:

Let me know when there's an update. I still have lots to do on the car but made some good progress recently. Picked up a small Pace Products reservoir cheap the other day, so just the tubing to complete the system now...oh and you! :lol:

What! how dare you Scott! Its basically all finished, just Pete holding it up... :? :whistle: :lol:

Scott, you seen the LHT kit some guy bought in the Prelude Power JRSC thread? Interesting stuff!

There is the same heat exchanger rad unit I have on ebay right now which started at 99p - if its cheap enough, I'd get it for any potential future plans bud. Just checked and its crept up to £26.50 now:

Pete: Cheers bud, I'll drop you a PM. :D
