Hit someone's towbar yesterday, intercooler is bent beyond repair but not punctured as far as I can see/hear/feel.

What are our relpacement cooler options?

Are there any RVR ones lying around you know of? What company does an aftermarket, bolt-on item?

Would like to upgrade if I can.

I have a spare hypersports gear intercooler for sale. Perfect Condition. I have upgraded mine to a PWR unit.

Thx hyperrvr - how much would you want for it?


Also, can you tell me about your PWR one? Did you have get custom piping or anything for the PWR unit? Or was it a straight drop in jobby?

How about $200 including freight ?

The PWR unit was made to fit the standard mounts but I had to get new piping made up. I had to send my intercooler to PWR for them to make the new one. Its not much bigger than the factory unit mostly thicker.

I have attached some pictures of the PWR unit.

Hey hyperrvr, might take you up on that.

I got quotes for my car - I have hail damage as well as the front ender.

Hail: ~ $9000
Front end: ~ $2-3000 (depends on when they take it apart to see what random rvr types bits need replacing)


On that note, our window moulds, the ones that run around the windows on each side - can we get them new from mitsu, does anyone know?
Mine have a few hail dents in them.

PWR cooler was around the $1000 mark. Don't have an exact price as it was done with other work.

Yea, there's the distinct possibility they'll write it off but I may have a little sway in the matter considering I worked for my insurance co for 4 years, with 1 year in claims. So we shall see.
