That looks friggin awesome. How are you going ti go with oil filter changes?
Ive got the landcruiser air filter and foreskin front mount and it is juuuuuuust tight enough that i have to pop the lid (and duct) off the airbox and/or intercooler pipes just to get a long enough 1/2" drive on the oil filter lol. Its such a pain in my lazy arse lol.
Awesome work though dude. very neat.

Should be able to change oil filters without any probs, it will be tight though. Theres not much room in there from stock.

Note: If anyone wants to try something similar, I have a 50mm bodylift, I don't think there would be enough room under the bonnet without the bodylift.

its going well.
have a look though this thread. all the info is there.
if u have any more q's then ask away here.
warning - you need a bodylift to run the big top mount cooler.

there's been a bit of interest in the big top mount intercooler setup of late, here is a few pics of the mounts if anyone is considering doing something similar.

Awesome looking setup! I wonder how that compares to the Forefront FMIC performance wise....

only way to answer that would be to run air temp sensors pre and post intercooler on each setup. i've never run a temp sensor so i don't know.
