Looking good Carl!

Boy, I'm glad I never drove mine in winter, seeing rust like that reminds of the 100 other DSM's I had years ago. Still needs a lot of cleanup though.

its worked alright. I went 11.55 with it. I'm planning on upgrading it before spring. I was getting some knock at the end of a 1/4 mile run I think it was heat soaking. I am planning on keeping the same pipeing unless I find a deal on a full kit.

I picked up a Precision 750HP intercooler today off of Craigslist. Its a little dirty but in good shape. I welded mounts off the tubular core support. It is nice and solid and the pipeing I have will hook right up. I also got the stock radiator ducting from the parts car I picked up and modified it to work with the new FMIC.

Oh it will do the trick. 24 X 10.5 X 3.5 its a Garret core Precision. One of the best intercoolers you can get same as I had on my old car.

Nice hopefully your cooling system keeps up now, although 2gs are a lot better than 1gs.

I hope so too. Its is going to be ducted and use the stock fans so I think it will be ok. I really want to be able to use the A/C.

Aaron how is the anodizeing holding up on your intercooler? Does it have any rock chipping or anything. I am thinking about doing this one black but want to make sure it will hold up before I spend the money.
