EuroJet intercooler problems. Update 28/08
« on: 25 June 2014, 22:00 »
Has anyone on here fitted one of these? Made a start on fitting the one I have today, knew it can be a pain to fit the new crash bar but I didn't think they where this bad. Not bolt on kit.  Sorry for the crap pictures.

One bolt fitted but look at the bottom one



Same bolt on the other side fitted



Way out on the other two on the right side.





Here's how much it's off



Any ideas? Was going to slot some of the holes but looking like a better idea to make a new one.

For such a big company you think they would have a handle on this.  Rest of the kit looks fine but this bar is a joke. One of the reasons to make a new one is cuz of the welds.

Are the hole centres correct on the plate if you hold it up against the car unbolted because if they are you could always slice the welds and tweak it to suit and reweld it. Failing that you could open up all the holes slightly and move the bar around until you get it leveled.

The right hand plate is way of the level. So going to cut it of and re-weld it on as I just bought a new welder so might as well put it to good use instead of making a full new bar.

I was also a bit let down when it came to the crash bar, the rest if the kit is great quality and works very well.

this was the main thing that put me off the kit, look at the original crash bar, then look at the eurojet crash bar, the eurojet looks like somehting i could knock togeather in half a hour in the garage...
