This is awesome.

Also, want that rear bumper. Looks immense and completely compliments the car

Yeah, for me Toms rear is the way to go. Spats can look cool but they risk separating, cracking etc. Toms rear just lowers it enough and stil looks factory

Thanks for the photos Spidey.

Maybe if the two of you ordered the Toms rear bumper at the same time, you might get cheaper shipping. Worth a try.

Looking good mate

Here's mine

I am going to try relocate the rad for colling - but this stage of the project is just the hood.

The Border Racing radiator relocation kit will be hard to find - if i don't get one, i will try make up something myself.

I look forward to you doing that because I was thinking about making a relocation kit myself.

Don't hold your breath - I've not been the fastest on doing some of my planned mods !

Having said that, i should be getting the car back tomorrow and will get onto research it. I think Scott Barton on IMOC had the kit and sold it on - so, might see if he had any actual pics, rather then the pics of the diagrams

Just dug this up from IMOC - seems that the Border kit is "just a Bodge kit with a posh name" ! And thats coming from someone who actually had the kit

Fantastic job, Sean

Damn that's one hell of a McGuyver jobby!!! turned out great. Can't wait to see it on Sunday morning.

Awesome job Sean!
Looks well Spidey!

Shot a mail off to Border Racing in Japan yesterday about purchasing a Border Racing relocation kit and they replied within hours !

Hi Rob,
How are you?

I got your e-mail from Border president Mr Sashiyama.

As I am friend of him, I take care of your request.
As I alwasy export Border parts.

Please check this quote.
And let me know if you wanna chagne something.

Thanks,

Will cost approx 158 euros incl shipping

Will you be raiding the piggy bank to get the kit ?

That sounds like a great deal!

It would be nice to get but after the thread above from IMOC, it seems like that you can do it with a few spacers and some hose. I'm going to investigate the DIY option first. Andf if its messy, i will raid the kids piggy banks

Rob, you have to stop spending my money

(I'm not his kid, but it seems we have very similar tastes!)

woah I never new the rad is so tiltet from factory on my mr2 its straight, so i guess i have to thank previous owner and my car is ready for bonnet transformation

I hear you Spidey, we are not all as flush with cash as Quandry. €158 to him must be chicken feed.

I think I will make some aluminum brackets and get some silicone hose off Ebay, but it won't be done for a while.

Ask the guy who quoted you what is in the kit and/or photos of it installed, you might be able to get some help to do it yourself.

Is the efficiency of the rad changed once you tilt it?

It'll just mean that more cold air will be forced through it and so, better cooling.

I reckon i will have a go myself

Got some top-down driving today
