so for some real excitment today.
the slick was in call of duty mode
dzus clips sorted to attach bumper. very quick to remove bumper now so made an exciting video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0jeF9Xq8QM
mounted oil cooler under headlight so it was out the way of the front end.
had to have the small pipe altered as it was catching on headlamp panel. knew i should have ordered a nova radiator. oh well. jdm quickly had it tig'd.
fits no dramas. have to mount it to the passenger side due to the pipe from the thermostat. will get some alloy pipe and weld the end of the rad different so it can locate in centre at some point. not that it matters really.
intercooler back on. need some sort of radiator mounted under the passenger side headlight now. looks a bit mad now all of them coolers and stuff.
speed holes cut into bumper. didnt measure, just smashed the hole cutter right through where i thought it looked right.
speed holes for the absolute win. must admit them dzus clips wont get scene approval. but for the amount of times the bumper comes off my car, will make life a lot easier.
as for the radiator and opperating temps. well, would help if the fuckin temp gauge worked i guess. oh and also re-wired the fan as it hasnt worked for about a year. it does now. winner.
thanks for reading.

Does Slick lack the upper body strength to hold the gun with both hands?
