Alot of nice FC's about :)

pity it has a poxy intercooler/radiator under the front bumper.

hi ed, i was thinking the same thing, wouldnt like to see how long it lasts with stones being chucked up into it though.

but it does look tuff.

Yeah I should have added that.. it's tuff alright! and a very nice car.

I'm just a bit over attentive to cooling issues.

Cheers

Ed

I think he needs a visit from you Ed, the car was featured in another mag and even with the normal radiator and intercooler/radiator he still had overheating problems  ::)

Those belts must take up a good 3 inches of good fan space  ;D
..And the radiator must have been cut down significantly to fit under the front panel.  I'm guessing its an ally unit, with twin 12 inch pusher thermos.
Not bagging it at all, but when your car loses driveablity due to it's modifications isn't that self defeating??.. I guess it would be a fast drag car which is cool... for 12 seconds.

Down at Summernats, I noticed many "elite" and top cars which had the most inadequate cooling systems, it's almost as if they weren't built to be driven.... ironic isn't it they are "street" machines.  Forgive my cynicism.

Cheers

Very tough looking car till you look down under the bumper might be time to run a couple of electric water pumps and a radiator in the boot floor out of sight ,The joys of supercharging........FC427.......

Now I've seen this car before and have read the article but am I missing something here...what does the intercooler do (apart from look crap)?Are they pumping water through it because it is obviously not for the induction side of things.  ???The rest of this car is very tough/cool though.

Whoops!Just read the fine print on the main photo...answered all my questions....too many beers... :P

only other problem,how does he read the gauges when he pops the cowl vent up..... ::) ;D

Jamie,
I like how you can open the rear doors to polish the roll cage :D :D  :D
Cheers

Not a bad effort...3 FC's and 1 FE in one issue...not all featured though... ;)

What chance did the Fe have of being featured when there was a FC around  ::) ::).....FC427......

Token feature i think ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D


but it is good to see some of the classics making it back in, now if they can only get back to "street" machines. ie: real cars......

mind you the nova is quite tasty.....

Hi guys, what month issue sm mag are these fc's and fe's??
