I swear this has been posted twice in the last month already. Its a universal kit that requires a ton modifications to fit the forte. Half of those pieces won't even be used. Probably cost more to mod those pieces than to do the actual install too. Walk away. Just walk away.

You could probably buy those parts individually for about 50% of the cost of that kit and it would work better. Why does the fan look like a desk fan? I would love to see a show based on the idea that people buy the cheap parts that are advertised to add insane amounts of power and throw them into one beater car and see what happens :-)

It's a slim fan for your radiator to make room for the intercooler. Didn't I answer that question in the last thread? And it doesn't look like a desk fan to me... looks like a radiator fan.

I believe you did answer it in the last thread. I wasn't serious with my question BTW.

^^Very true. I honestly was going to say something back and I thought my sarcasm was not truly portrayed, so I just stuck with the basic response. (I knew I should have thrown in emoticon in there...haha)
