Haha 200's have that affect on some of us....
Some quick work yesterday - Modified the stock fan to mount onto the new radiator.

What are you planning on doing for the temp sensor in the radiator?

I'm going to have to make an Al bung to weld on. I'll have to do the same for the overflow line.

Had some project ADD last night and did a few things....
Corrected my rear coilovers - got rid of my inverted stock lower spring perch and properly mounted the threaded collars. Also installed helper springs.
Terrible before:
Now mo-bettah. Can see my new (craigslist) tires - Conti pro-contact 245/45/R18
I cut this ring out of the stock spring perch which gave a more robust base for the 1/8" steel washer that holds the threaded collar
I received my cheap ebay intake plumbing yesterday too, so I decided to get some of that done. It'll be the shortest charge piping ever, but then again it is 3".... So after some careful chopping:
Lastly, I slid the radiator back in with the modded stock fan to check fitment - should work nicely!

get a nice base tune on it, drive it to carlisle, and let marc make it crazy! Getting a safe base tune going is easy! I could offer some help some night after work.

I keep hearing the name, and heck he even works in the same place as I do, but I've never met him... Have only seen his truck drive by with the VEMS logo on the side.
