That thing is PIMP-TASTIC!

All you need to do is pull side cladding off and put the Cossie gear on there.

My only question about this build is do you have any issues with the Intercooler or the exhaust scraping? They look very low.

Thank's for the PIMP-TASTIC...LOL..
On the old set up the only the car was not lower it was stock hight. The old intercooler that i got from XS power RX7 front mount with some mods i got it to work, only the hoses rub when going up a drive way.
The exhaust is fine.

But now i have a new set up XS power RS500 Front mount with some mods (like always) and also the car now has BAT spring with a new exhaust also ( no scraping at all ) still have 5-6 inchs..

Also know that the pipes for the RS500 intercooler run on top.

Hows the spool on that thing? I'm assuming the head is pretty stock right? I have an HE351 I would like to try but I'm going to stick with a T3 for now.
