Aaah forgot about your lil 'un :rolleyes:

I presume Liners have front mounts as standard? But you want a bigger one? Not sure if it'd negate the A/C but 200's don't have to loose the AC

Surely the intercooler sits in the front bumper area, why would if effect the aircon?

If i can't take the baby in there there will be no driving the liner on the weekend!

There is no front mounted intercooler but there is a small one in the engine bay somewhere.

My mate could have just made a mistake and i have never heard of this before!!

Apparently it blocks the radiator or something for the air con!!!

Yup.....the intercooler sits infront but slightly lower of the rad and aircon rad.

alright spence..

i fitted my frount mount about 3 weeks ago and i didnt lose my air-con. I've got an APEX kit, which cost £245 delivered.... there are cheaper ones out there, but i would steer clear of them. Obviously me having an r34 might make things slightly different to yours, but unlikely...

let me know if you want the details of where i got mine from... pretty sure i got it off ebay tho....

and £745.... you got to be kidding!!!!!

It may sound alot of money but he mentioned its a Greddy kit which would have a decent core and piping,its not a cheap chinese copy kit rebranded by a UK company.

So when you take into consideration fitting and a tweak of his afc IMO its not that much money.
