Yes, black mesh looks better.

But do these vents have a function? Or does your battery and windscreen fluid get too hot? :D

a bit not much. I think I'm going to make a deaper one in the middle that can extract heat from the radiator and so on. Also the structure of the hood limits things a bit. Didn't want to cut a hole in a random area.

got a new grill today. Needs some patching up work with fiberglass, but, who cares, its for free :) Then a moose power logo in front for some laughs. My GF will soon hate me a bit, spending again to much time with my car and not with her.

Nice!
If you do a run in 2nd gear from idle to red with the pedal to the metal, I might present you with a well educated guess about your power curve (of the car, I mean)

@ about 4700-5000
didn't redline it. There is no point in doing that, as the car goes fast enough :)

used red's, but monroe are crap compared to konis. Realy, I mean they suck totaly. As konis keep the car level most of the time. The ride is more comfy on rough roads. hand ans stable on smooth road. As the monroes wanted to move to much and just bounce around, as the koni tryes its best to keep hte car level and let the suspention do its thing. As tor turn in - making a 90 deg left hand turn (left hand drive in here) @ 60 km/h is ok I think. :) Now my streched tyres come to play :lol:
