Just get some reducers, thats what i did.

That is an option but I've already got all the pipework inplace for the 64mm inlet/outlet, if it ends up too much hassle to send this one back and get another one out then I may just keep this one.

Looking good, is it a toyo cooler?

It is mate the core size is 600x300x76MM

mate they av done the same to me to mines geting picked up tomoz

matt

are you getting your new one tomorrow aswell mate? what turnaround times am I looking at?

That's the point though the reducer is 64mm one end and 76mm the other it wont cause you any problems with the pipe kit, instead of the two 64mm couplers you will have two reducers, your decision at the end of the day :D and i suppose it will take the same time for the reducers to come as the replacement cooler.

its more out of principle to be honest mate, I ordered a cooler to match my pipework, I don't see why because they have got the order wrong I should have to spend more money on reducers.

Just been on the site and it looks as though Toyosports have removed the cooler. I've also had an email saying they don't do one with 64mm inlet/outlet! why would they lie, doesn't make sense, anyways looks like I'm keeping this one then.

I know what you mean, i was just trying to suggest an other option as if your like me i hate having to send things back if there is another option that might get back to me quicker, and without the hassle. But from what you say it doesn't look like you have much of an option.

Slowly, but its getting there:

The lacquer I've used is supposed to be satin, but seems to be more gloss. Anyway it needs smoothed down and polished to see how it comes up.

Also got my reducers for the FMIC, but the parcel had fallen off the back of the delivery truck, then ran over by a car before getting handed into my local police station:

(split goes all the way through)

:doh:

Should be getting some replacements soon.

Grille looks good I didn't bother laquering my grille, imo you don't need to mine still looks spot on with no stone chips.
