My paint guy (paint the ebay version I had and the UT one I have now) said the UT was ALOT easier to paint and prep.
The one complaint I have about the UT is the clips they use to hold the mesh into place. The clips are held on by double sided tape so they tend to pop off if too much pressure is put onto them.
Post pics up once you get your ride back together. Good luck with the build out.

Most of the work that went into my car won't even show up under the hood. One work..... MoTeC !!!!! I got into a car accident back in January, have been trying to get things fixed... The body/everything else is done, just trying to finish things up under the hood. New 70mm thick radiator, new dual fans, new intercooler, new water injection system. But believe me when I tell you, the car is gonna be really special when it's done. Again... MoTeC... Everything will be tweaked (by me personally) to be at the pinnacle of technology. I got a daily driver (an Audi A8L), so focusing more on teh track aspect of the car... makes things way easier...
Anyway.... we'll see all very soon.

I spoke to Dave today - that guy is missed for sure... I think if you all start posting again - a remarkable resurgence would transpire!!!
Thanks for adding to the community again!

BTW, last I knew you were studying pharmacology… geez that was like 3-4 yrs ago… are you a pharmacist now? We’re not old are we?…

Iw ill try to post as much as possible. Never seen the Stillen radiator, lets hope it's not overpriced like the rest of their stuff. The radiator is a custom one made by PWR. Should be great.
Will see all soon.

I don’t think anyone has seen the Stillen radiator = it is an entity and thought yours was something of it... I've heard a few rumblings - I guess we'll see...
As far as reunion, I think it would be great! But lets see - a pharmacist likely with high demand, a rocket scientist developing an industry breaking exhaust, an engineer bogged down with power plant project, a renowned tuner swamped with over-demand for faster cars, several others that are integral but I don’t know their availability...
I'm free! Let's do it!!!

OK here I go.
Current Set up.
Sevas S22 20x8.5 +40 15mm in the rear and 10 up front.
Same Setup but 10 in the rear.
BBS of a Evo MR 17x8 +35 with spacers
Volk TE37 17x? offsets not sure.
Work Meisters 19x11 +17 offset.
Work Meisters 19x9.5 +25
Momo FXL2 19x8.5 +38 and 19x9.5 +38
I think that is about it. I am thinking about getting rid of the 20's for some lighweight 18's. What do you guys think.
