You guys should make a radiator for the BMW E30 as well by the way. Nobody makes one and with over 200 SpecE30s out there racing, we deserve a quality aluminum radiator.

What did you get rid of the Evo? So clean...

How do you know we don't :cheers:? We have a few prints that fit 1988-1999 E30 and E36. One is a lightweight model (more race oriented) and one is a standard 56mm core. E-mail if you're interested, I'll try to cut you a deal.

For a BRZ :thumbup:!!! Duhhhh. Some days I wonder why I did, or why I didn't just buy another one. However, I'm mostly glad I got the BRZ. Once it is turbo'd, I'm sure those Evo days will be behind me :thumbup:.

This should be a fun build to watch. Will be keeping an eye on things. :-)

Good luck! Get a sleeved block, forged internals, springs and valves, turbo and you'll definitely forget about the Evo lol

Looking forward to your build. I went from an Evo IX to the BRZ!

Messing around with an aluminum exhaust - didn't like the sound so back to the drawing board.

Side note: it did save 23 lbs of weight, all located behind the rear axle.

Mock up catch can:

They're for sale via FT86 Speed Factory. I'm not sure any are left in stock right now but I'm finishing up another order hopefully this month. http://www.ft86speedfactory.com/ft-8...tter-1648.html

I thought C&R was based out of IN?
