Let me first say, nothing is done, and the car is DIRTY and looks aweful.
We all know I’ll take of that though, when the time comes =)I've been reluctant to post pictures of these things because they are far
from done (no ducts for the coolers yet, and the gauge clster is not
mounted), however I have had several people ask to see these pictures,
so I went out this morning, and snapped a few to show you some stuff. This is how my oil cooler is mounted. Full 10AN lines attach to a
sandwich adapter where the oil filter is. This is the one cooler that I do
not need to make ducting for, as I mounted it so that it is literally around
1 cm from the opening of the fascia, so all of the air will go through it
without ducting. The t-bolt that you see bolted to the car frame behind the oil cooler is
the new location that my air conditioning drier now goes. I will probably actually be making a run of 5 of these kits for the oil
cooler. It will only be for those with TOM FMICs though, hence the small
run. 
This duct will be to direct air to the air filter on this side. One of the
many holiday projects.
Here is how I made my AC condenser holder. The overall frontal surface
of both condensers combined is roughly 150% that of the OEM tt
condensers, however only 75% the surface area of the frontal surface
with get non used air...the other 75% gets the air after the front
condenser. The R12 will go through the rear condenser first, then the
front one. The condensers also have a slightly higher fin density than even the new
style OEM condensers, and are also thicker as well. Also, the
condensers no longer have an oil cooler in front of them, and a hot
radiator right beside them. I feel that the pluses of this system will equal out the negatives of this
system, so I will have a system that functions just as good as OEM. Only
time and actual usage will tell though. I will be making ducting as well as mounting my 10" fan right behind
them over the holidays, and there is enough room for the air filter to be
behind them to the side of the fan as well. Should work out great. Stay
tuned to hear how it works. 
The mess of wiring if b/c of me currently moving the large fuse box to in
the front fascia. Not done of course. Another holiday project.
 Just my TOM FMIC. Over the holidays, I will also be making ducting to
gather all of the air that comes through the front bumper opening to
direct it to the radiator. As you can see quite a bit of air comes through
the opening without going through the FMIC, so I want to take advantage
of that. I feel that with only a FMIC in front of the Howe radiator, I
should not have any issues with over heating with the proper ducting.
FMIC has Swain heat emitting coating all over it, but the front fins I
removed it, so the IC would look normal and silver. Still 90% of the
surface area of the cooler has the coating, so I still feel I got my
money's work. The bumper beam will still be used with the car as well, although I had to
modify it a little with some welding. Not in pictures, as I did not want to
dig it up. 
Here is my PS cooler. In the picture, it is mounted to the fascia. It is
NOT going to be like this. That was an earlier idea that I scraped, cause
I realized it was retarded. I now actually made a bracket that mounts
the cooler about 1 cm above the opening I made on the fascia. Sadly, I
have no idea where I put the bracket lol, so I may have to make another
one. Should work out really well though. Everything is REALLY dirty! Under the dust is a nice paint job though.
 This is my gauge cluster now. Was a huge PITA to make this work, and
make it look OEMish, and I don't recommend this to anyone, but it
turned out great. Speedo is now my boost controller, and my gas gauge
is now the odometer, and a low fuel light. Ton of mods and rewiring, but
it should work just fine as that...if I run into problem with gas or speed, I
can fix them accordingly with other mods, but till I find it an issue, this
works great. 
Traction Control off light and Low Fuel light. Not exactly perfect, but
when the lights aren’t on, you can’t see the writing, which is what I
wanted like OEM, since they should usually not be on.
Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed this post. None of these things are
done yet...close, but not totally, except maybe the oil cooler. i have a
lot of other very custom things I've been doing to the Z, but I'll wait a
while to make a post showing those. As always, thanks for looking.
Thanks,
Mike
