Yeah, wheels will have to go. They're brand new though so I'll get some wear out of them until I decide what I want. Some plans are: calais front and side skirts, tints, 3 core radiator (coming tomorrow) and a custom 3" stainless exhaust.

You gettin a new radiator? I'm looking for a new one myself. Can't seem to find one cheaper than $350 - Trade Me special of course! Any ideas where else to look?

Youll have issues getting one cheaper new, i looked for ages, 2 core is alot cheaper and with the wide cooling fins is EXACTLY the same cooling capacity. It would have to be either that or get a blank and have the inlet, outlet cut where needed and the hose connections welded on.

Stink! I didn't know there was a two core version available. Might have to ring around a few more places. Cooling is definately a concern - I will be running an RB25DET, and the intercooler is rather large and blocks a significant amount of the radiator!
