Re: Thoughts on ex mine vehicles

my 75 series is an ex santos ute and was clean as. full service history no rust never had a problem with anything. guess it just depends on who was driving it and where it was being driven.

1hz 75series front mount intercooler

has anyone done a front mount cooler on a 1hz 75?
is there an off the shelf kit?
was looking into top mount coolers but it seems the inlet manifold restricts the size of the cooler you can run.
any pics or links of a 75 with a front mount would be much appreciated. cheers
