Ok mate well definately consider it, it would be good !
this wip always gets me going again if i ever loose my enthousasim(sp) in my nova i just look at this thread and it comes flooding back, well done mate, your an inspiration to many people, hope to see this at pv and many other vx shows mate.
Bloody hell, this car has come a long way since I last looked at the thread !
Not to sound picky BUT I wouldn't mount the electronics for the HID setup there, water will pour down that part of the car either when washing it or driving in the rain, nothing is that waterproof.
It might not be a problem but if it was mine I'd either move them into the bay somewhere (and there is room ;) ) or turn them upside down so the water does not sit on the electric plug side of the units
Who made the Rad and IC ?
One wire is a sealed into the unit from the factory, the other I have now used silicone seal both inside & out so should be OK - thanks for thinking about it anyway!Quote:

No problem mate, could just imagine you in the middle of nowhere with no lights ! Sounds like you have it covered though.
I thought that was the Radtec setup, I used Pro Alloy as their local for my escort but fook me do you pay for the finish !
Have you moved the oil cooler pipework as advised or do you think it will be ok, if the pipes touch the body I would wrap them in something as a old xe nova I had used a similar setup and eventually it did run through due to engine movement.
Food for thought, looks awesome though, look forward to seeing it at PV
There is very little movement from the engine due to the group N TAS solid mounts so I will keep an eye on the pipework and make sure its OKQuote:
