Episode 13: Cooler and handbrake

In this episode, Daniel and Christian dedicate themselves to the hydraulic handbrake. Christian’s welding skills are put to the test while the cooler and the front of the DD2.JZ are partially being constructed, too.

The water cooler, which is located precisely behind the slightly smaller intercooler, must also be optimally positioned.

Meanwhile, Christian takes care of the handbrake, finally fitting it into the car. He welds the previously custom-made base plate, with support from Daniel, to the transmission tunnel in the interior.
