I'll be having a chat with him in the next week or two to arrange a solution.
Ideally I'd like the current one modifying but I know it's a bitch to weld cast ally.

There are others available but only from the states and the shallower ones are wider which takes away the space for the manifolds.

I will note that the ground it scraped on was quite a steep drop away from a level area, on normal roads it'd maybe be ok. But I'm not gonna risk it and it will be getting changed.

You have to admit though, what they've squeezed out of that 1.5L 3pot is amazing!

Shortly after receiving my tripple core mishimoto rad off a fellow S2ki member (zzkamikazezz) I stumbled across this ..

Instantly fell in love, then out again after viewing the price tag!!

Because I'm on nights at work my mind has been on one of those strangle voyages and I've had an idea!
Why don't I anodise my mishimoto rad?? (also the supercharger coolant rad too, just to match seeing as it'll be sat in front of the big rad)

Found a place in peterborough (peterborough plating, PPC) anybody had anything done by them?
http://www.peterboroughplating.co.uk...anodic-dyeing/
Recommend someone else? I'm based near grimsby so don't fancy travelling down to london

The reasoning of wanting this doing is because the look I'm going for in the car is black, gold and small bits of red.
black car gold wheels red callipers, you know ... nice and simple, or rather .. tasteful.
