Hey guys, just need some help, I just fitted a new 56mm Adrad radiator into my vz Clubby.
But now because the A/C condenser sits further forward my Duspeed OTR CAI wont fit now.
So any suggestion on an alternative that actually fits with this size radiator would be awesome :)

as you can see the condenser now sits where the intake usually sits.

Not sure if that would be possible, it slots into that factory mounts, plus there isn't much room to move between the shroud and the front of the engine now.

Any particular reason u fitted a bigger radiator?

the plastic tanks on the standard radiators have failed a couple of times over the years since I've owned it, figured this would overcome this problem, probably a little overkill but haha

Around 30mm would have sufficed, you can mod the stock air box deleting the MAF sensor and inserting some 4inch aluminum or S/Steel exhaust pipe, or use a older GTS mafless pipe, all will cripple you numbers a bit.

All good now, I've managed to squash down the condenser enough so the intake clears it.
