Very pretty. What are the caps on the back of the intercoolers for? I'm assuming fluid of some kind...but why are they needed for normal circulation of coolant?

Yepp hoosiers is the answer to run a good time. I have Nitto NT555 tires on 19" wheels. Im sure you can can get 2.0 on street tires but sometimes with more power can be problematic.
Soon to see.
