If people are out and about tonight, stay off Wellington Road between Stud Rd and the Scoresby Bypass. Police have inbound lanes blocked and looked like they were bringing modified cars in for a check. Just a heads up as it will be busy as hell along there soon too.

The 2 thin black ones connected to the 2 thin metal ones are the pipes that run to the NEW TRANS COOLER. You end up with 2 HOLES in your radiator you can plug up. I haven't done that though as the bungs didn't come with the kit. Correct, The 2 thick black ones are for the coolant. Yep that's correct. It comes with 4 black plastic barbs that fit thru the fins of the radiator. You need to take out the thermo fans, between the engine and radiator, for these to fit. that's easy to do. 2 Screws and unplug the harness. Also if you need more room you can undo the screws holding the top of the radiator and push it back a little bit. You only get a few mm unless you oversize the holes but every mm counts. If yours is a BA with the 4spd you should have the same as in the pics. Open the bonnet and have a look down. You should easily see the 2 pipes connected to the radiator. I think the later BF's with the 6spd have the one next to the block. Cheers James

The only other place is infront of the drivers side front wheel. Have seen it fitted there on a few cars but I am not sure how much air gets in there. Surely gotta be better than the stock one thru the radiator though.

WhiteXR, I have never seen a HDI Cooler fitted but if you have a solid 25mm gap between the cooler and Radiator I would say it will fit in there.

Hey Dan, Its not that difficult if you have basic knowledge of taking tuff apart and putting it back together. Here is a pic BEFORE I started. In the pic below, you can see the 2 existing Trans Cooler pipes running into the back of the Radiator. One lets the fluid into the radiator and one lets the fluid back out to the transmission I dont remember which is which but the hotter of the 2 will be fluid in, which is before it is cooled. This pic shows the same to pipes, looking down towards the ground from above, that I have bent out of the way and connected the rubber hoses to the new Trans Cooler. Remember to put the clamp on the correct side of the barb. Easy to get this bit wrong and will end in tears if it pops off. This pic shows the same black pipe from the pics above connected into the Trans Cooler. You cant see the bottom one as its behind the Reinforcing bar at the bottom there. Remmeber mate, have a look at the pics, have a look at your car and compare them. If you dont feel 100% confident in doing it maybe hit up one of the Forum Sponsors close to yourself and get them to fit it for you. Any questions just post them on here. I have an alert so will come along sometime and reply if someone else hasn't already. Cheers & all the best James

The Yellow I have seen around quite a bit has the rego DUKE.1 I think. Todd Wilkes made them super famous with his twin turbo version that he sadly crash and passed away in at Eastern Creek. Here is a video from inside it.

Leading now as my sons getting tired. Saw rapid8 coming in.

Just got to Knox and its packed

Yeah its the carpark closest to the multi story ones where the cinemas are. Follow the queue of cars. You can't miss it. Starts 6ish till late.

Nah its that acid rush colour I think its called. Dont think they let people like *Beep* in where I live. Anyone heading to Knox car show tonight if its on?

Spotted FAST6T parked out the front of my house today. Anyone on here?

Just went for a cruise thru the Dandenongs and spotted a couple of cars out. Saw MKMAC or MKMAK on Dorset Road and a red BF F6 rego SNEILS in Mooroolbark. ANyone on here?

Rockatansky, if you have never been to the 12 Apostles, drive with the lads till they stop for lunch and drive the other 90k's or so there to go for a look see and you can have a later lunch at Lavers Hill or Port Campbell. I proposed to my wife in a helicopter over them so I highly recommend heading down there esp if you have never been. Once you leave Apollo Bay though you get into the Otway Ranges for the whole way there. Also do you have any big pics of your car? I was hoping to get some at the knox car show but didn't see your car there.

Yeah used to live there but have moved now. My wife is over there quite a bit to see her freinds though. These guys have a Red Limo and matching sedans.......... http://www.gtlimo.com.au/ For a cheaper price, you could hire this and I could drive her to the wedding for you. http://www.sportscarrentalsaustralia.com.au/vehicles/aston-martin-vantage or http://www.sportscarrentalsaustralia.com.au/vehicles/ferrari-f430-2006

Only place to go in Melbourne mate. http://www.jg33.com.au/

My heavy duty one has a Square pipe that slots into the tow bar area. I think the 1600kg version is just the flat plate looking thing. Hope that makes sense.

Get them a Pair of Cufflinks, something they can use again for special occasions. You could always get a bottle of real nice scotch and write a personal message on the label.

that's the one.

I havent noticed any noticable difference in water temp. I have towed over 1 tonne with it for 400ks and it was fine. Yeah I have the universal kit. Just make sure you get 1 with the correct size barbed fittings and put the clamp on the correct side of the barb. I am not sure where the ZF lines run, I have only done this to the 4spd in the BA's

middle car in the above pic mate.

1. From what Headsex showed me on his car, YES it JUST fits if you lean the intercooler forward at the top, may have to oversize the bolt holes a bit, and push the Transcooler right up as far as it will go. 2. No worse than the BIG BIG intercooler infront of the radiator. If you hold the transcooler in your hand and blow thru it you can feel the air on your hand. I cant see it being a problem at 60k's and sure beats having the trans fluid running thru the radiator. 3. The Nizpro cooler works so well I dont think you would notice a difference. 4. Speak to Full Monty about putting it infront of the front wheel. He was at Sandowns= going down the back straight at huge speed and the hose to the transcooler popping off, pissing fluid all over his front tyre and him skidding onto the grass and nearly hitting the wall. If you are unsure speak to Simon at Nizpro and get them to install it. They may even chuck it way under the car somewhere and hook up a seperate fan.

Thought about Blue XR's?

With the bigger intercoolers you can lean the forward at the top to get even more clearance. I have seen a Nizpro BIG BIG Intercooler and the PWR Transcooler fitted with no cutting to the reinf bar at all.

Just spotted a red ba/bf up at stud park shops with black plates and a big forums site sticker on the back. Anyone?

What about WNA6T9?
