Well I finally had some extra time to work on the car this weekend. I installed my shortrunner intake, courtesy of na_svt :eek:ccasion14:, also replaced the leaking mishimoto radiator with a new one (lifetime warranty), replace the original ac condensor and added a little paint to it while I was at it. Also fixed an oil leak issue on my oil cooler, the oil pressure sensor was leaking oil at high rpm so I replaced it with the one that was still attached to my original leaky oil cooler. Here a some pics for your enjoyment.

Note: I will be installing my 4.10 geared differential this coming weekend so my shortrunner is paired with 3.55s at the moment. I can feel the difference from 3500-6000rpm but can't wait to see what the car feels like with the 4.10s and tuned.

^^^nope, when I disconnected the lines I found that one of them was burned by the headers so I ordered new lines. I will probably get the a/c going next week. I have a new compressor also to install so hopefully it freezes my ass off in the hot days

Nice work man!

Good luck with that Mishimoto...my buddy had one, it cracked...he got a new one for free, I bought it from him because my stocker was shot...it cracked the day after we installed it. Got our money back from Mishimoto...bought a stock replacement from Autozone and never looked back. Mishimoto FTL

I bought the first one and 10-11 months later it started leaking. I got their radiator brackets for free with the replacement radiator which are supposed to help with the cracking. If this one ends up leaking then I will ask for my money back and buy a steeda or fluidyne radiator.
