For anyone out there with the Hedits IRS here is an upgrade for the rear support plate that comes with the kit. My car was at a certain location and they decided to jack up the rear well they bent the cross brace for me and I was not very happy about it. So I decided to design and make a new pc that allows for a floor jack to pass under and lift the car on the third member. Part is CNC and has a anodized finish.

I just happen to messing around with the car and was wondering if i had enough parts to modify the intake tube since i converted to the new rad set up that puts the inlet and outlet on the pass side of the car. Stay tuned for picture on the next build thread just wanted to get the thread going again after along hiatus.

It has a Be Cool unit. When installing an LSA motor in the car the throttle body curves to the drivers side so the radiator inlet on the top needs to be ordered so it is on the passenger side of the vehicle. The first unit I had was on the drivers side and interfered with the intake tube. There was a small leak and i was talking with the Be Cool guys and they said I could order the inlet on the other side. So both the inlet and outlet are on the same side (passenger side) . This makes it easier to locate the hoses that come from a production part, of course they need to be trimmed to fit. Also when mounting a aluminum radiator NEVER hard mount it to the core support! They will crack! You must use rubber isolators and make sure the unit and move at least 1/16 an inch. I was able to located the rubber bushings at ACE hardware and used 3 bushings on each mounting location. This ensured adequate movement. Bushing on front side of core support then another bushing between core support and radiator flange and then another bushing on the other side of the flange with the fastener. I used fender washers between the nut head and lock nut. The nylock nut to secure everything in place and allows for movement. The Be cool unit has worked so far but if I was to do it again I would have the Fan man make me a unit since I have come to know him.
