Ade Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Looks great, how did you do the intake? What little things should I look out for during the build? I've got the Aggressor on the bench currently, it seems that you build much quicker than I do! Keep posting your progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
