Good idea on the power steering cooler, I boiled my fluid on my first track day, now my pump is even more whiney.

I used a Derale one, push fittings, $69 if you play your cards right. New hoses inc, and derale is one of the best brands out there.

If you needed new cooler piping and silicone I have my entire setup for sale, it was in the for sale section, but no one was keen.
I would suggest ditching the stock style setup too, go a TWIN under the headlight setup. I am practically throwing my old setup in the bin, $50....
I cant use any of my silcon hose anymore, as my new setup wont allow it.
I have:
1x 90 deg 3 inch
1x 90 deg 2.5 to 3
1x 45 deg 2.75 to 3 (throttle body)

If you buy clamps, only buy norma, dont bother with anything else, seriously, and ebay is the cheapest, lucky for me he is in SA too

Car is looking good, coming along, I would suggest front strut brace (big beefy ones not ebay) and gaurd braces, they are pretty weak around here.

And the only thing that perplexes me is the small offset, I can understand on some people street cars that they want to be conservitaive, but ona track car go nuts, use all the extra track you can get.
Your car will be more stable, turn in will double, less body roll.

Also what brakes are you running? Im just trying to gauge the good and bad stuff with brakes, my lucas pads are great on the street and track so far, but there may be something better out there.


Here is my new setup, i wanted more response, less damage when I crash it, and more air into the radiator
