I mentioned this to you once when shooting the bull. I want a new front valance made. I want the LE style with all the GT options. Opening for oil cooler or radiator in my case. Also shaped ends to fit GT flares. If I could draw for shit I would for you. Anybody with skills out there want to draw it. Can you guys picture what I am talking about. Or can I only picture it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

The one in this picture may be for sale eventually (this is my car). I am swapping to a fiberglass front bumper with a GT cutout. ( Not enough air flow as is to cool my rotary).
If it doesn't work with a GT bumper, I will be pulling this off and selling. Cheers, Matt I want this one.... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i1315.photobucket.com-15718-1465913316.1.jpg) |

Hey Matt, you know my suby cools so well all I have are the stock holes in the body that are typically plugged. my outlets are large in the wheel wells. so I get plenty of flow. on my v8 car I cut a big section out of my front bumer. Added a grill from a Camara that matched the fog lights grills. plus really opened the front trunk up. I had tons of airflow & had no problems then. A gt front bumper I don't think will add all that much air flow. That will add a good inch which may be enough. I think that opening is 20-24" wide. what is your opening like behind the bumper? |

Hey Jaime,
This car is an older conversion where the radiator cut out is from the stock oil cooler holes down under the front pan of the car. (very strange). With no front valence, enough air gets scooped up as it flows under the car but once I installed a lower valence it runs warmer ( like 190 on a cold night...where it used to stay around 150-160). My plan was to move the air inlet in the traditional location on the front of the car, and block off the cut-out that is more under the car.(if that makes sense) Do you have a photo of your set-up I can look at? Part of my problem I think is my old copper radiator in the car now does not work as well as a more modern aluminum unit.
