Just food for thought.
as always, i appreciate feedback... but i have all i can do bolt on (except supercharge or turbo) i can do without tearing into motor (intakes, high flow cats, exhaust, tune, spring, sways, and engine dampner not sure if you call that perf mod or not)...that is why i am looking at doing look good things

thanks travis - that seems like a fair upgrade - must force the air through the radiator at all costs - bonus is rigidity for certain - i had a buddy tell me about a material that is sheet metal aluminum coated in plastic they use for their race cars underpinning that is typically used for signs, so i might see whats up with that too

- next month i'm going to be upgrading the amount of oil this car holds with a cooler - and hopefully upgrading to the nismo rear dif cooler - all the while putting pennies aside for a front bumper - i'm so scared to take the car into paint i dread that -
