Location: sittingbourne, kent		Fitted new radiators this weekend inc mods to lower front panel.

Engine rad is mgf, charge cool rad is fiat cinquecento. The bumper sits a bit better now compared to
the Talon twin core rad which i had.







charge cooler rad



With the bumper back on with the two rads fitted

Location: sittingbourne, kent		Now rolling on MPI wheels and toyo r888's love the amount of grip they give me compared to any tyre i have ever had

Was ment to go to santapod at the weekend just gone but gave it a miss as the weather didnt look to good on the forecast, but im pretty certain i could run late 12's as it currently stands. l will have to wait until next year now..

...and how do you find the flex on the 60 profile tyres? Feels great with such an immense amount of grip. Tried them in the wet yet?

Location: sittingbourne, kent		Yes driven them in the wet which i find they still grip very well, the 60 profile is fine as these have very stiff side walls but is quite a bumpy ride compared to the 55 profile road pro's i just taken off

no thats gone now, lt didnt work to well as the heat from the exhaust/engine in the tunnel blew straight into my scoop.
Cinq rad is more then enough, l done 50 laps on track and never any heat in the charge barrel.

you have to cut the chunky bit off the other end of it, and blank off a bleed off tube all easy to do though

How did you do the blank?
I'm not sure what the pressures like in a charger cooler, wouldn't be good if it blow the blank off.

Location: sittingbourne, kent		Self tapping screw with a rubber washer, there is no pressure in the system as it wont or shouldn't get hot to expand. The water pump is quite powerful so wants to be as good as u can get it.

Location: sittingbourne, kent		Fitted a rover kv6 water to oil cooler. l used a sandwhich plate oil cooler kit from ebay and welded 2 barbed connectors to the pipes on the cooler to link it up to the sandwhich plate with 2 short hoses. Tight fit but its in there
