Billet Driveshafts are about $900.00

Radiator in boot...

Air scooped under car.. & air will also go out under the car also... a two section hole..

One inlet & scoop onto the radiator then thermo fan & then a pipe to take all the air back out of the boot again...

Maybe we should start a starlet area after we get enough of us...

My car will be there running or not... hopefully running... But if not if you want a sticky beak it will be there either way....

Smiles
