Got the radiator in. Getting the lower (braided) hole on was a bitch though! Need to dig up a small hole clamp for the radiator overflow bottle rubber line from the top near the radiator cap, as the pipe off there is slightly smaller than the stock one and the hole isn't sealing properly. Otherwise working fine!

Most of the effort was involved in replacing that old temporary airbox i had with something better. I ended up using the Mazdaspeed MX5 one i bought a while back, as it actually had a chance of fitting compared to the ARC V6 Lantis one.

The standard cover didn't really work in the space i had, so i fashioned up a scoop that directs air into it pretty well, that sucks from just in front of the gearbox. It faces the gearbox, not the front of car - so the ram air effect is negligible, but the amount of crap getting in will be minimal as well.



Best of all is that the MS Airbox bolts the BP sensor nicely to it, freeing up a bit more space.
