In a desperate attempt to help resolve my water temp issues, I realise that the best thing to do would be to box in all the intercooler and radiator (which was kindly confirmed by Mr Norris of NMS

), but not having time to do this (car is currently have a new clutch fitted for me to be 'Ring ready

), so I came up with the idea at the end of last week to have an auxiliary radiator made that will sit where the turbo cooler one sits normally, to suppliment the existing cooling. However, I decided to use the existing charge-cooler arrangement (which is currently looped back on itself with a U-bend), which means the head gets the benefit of the supplimentary cooling (which needs it most

). This meant that the radiator had to be a twin pass one, with both inlet and outlet on the same side of the charge-cooler / thermostat pipework. So Pro-alloy came up trumps and made it for me and it arrives to put on the car tomorrow. Will post pictures up when I get in in the morning, as I've got to shoot now
