Looks good man! I'd personally ditch the red vacuum lines, but that's just me. I always feel there's no reason to draw attention to something like a vacuum line. Let the important things in the bay do the talking. Clean as hell regardless

Well thank you . I guess I did clean it up a good bit when all the pieces were taken apart (timing covers, plenums, etc) but you can't really tell in the pics. The TT radiator is definitely > the old NA.

Runs slightly cooler. If you didn't drive my car every day you wouldn't notice. The gauge is just always a little lower than it used to read. I'm planning on swapping to TT anyway so that was one reason I got it. It holds more coolant it is more badass .

This month. Obviously not happening! So, later. And yes, they do. Just need different brackets up top and it's suggested you make a bracket for the bottom.

To post mine or not to post mine. That is the question.

I wonder if the OP ment for people to post complete engine bays only? :chuckle:

LIES!!! She sleeps in a new house now!

If I had a fresh, crisp, and clean dollar bill for everytime I have seen that picture I would be able to go buy a brand new 370z off the lot for a daily.

Tony, you have a new house - which means you need to take the Z around Boston and have a photo shoot! I'm just tired of seeing the same old background haha.
