    How many "Old-Timer" DSM Guys on here?

    The vents work great. July and August are the absolute hottest and most humid months here in Miami.

    Ditching Aluminum Radiator for OEM

    which tuner

    Especially in the case of DSMs, there is absolutely no doubt at all to go with ECMLINK over an AEM setup.The majority (by far) of modded DSMs use ECMLINK. This is one of its HUGE advantages over AEM becuase you can post logs on the various forums and get help online from other users (free)...

    cooling fan question

    Don't bother with a pusher setup - there is not enough clearance between the A/C condenser and the radiator for them to fit and pushers are less effective than a pulling system as well. Putting pushers on the outside of the A/C condensor IMO would be innefective at properly cooling the radiator...

    Sqeaky POS 2g Door Panels
