The white RST on the S2 Intercooler page of the GRS site is mine. The Intercooler fitted is the original GRS Cooler. As in, the first one ever made. It is far taller than the current models, which have evolved tremendously and are not as tall, therefore causing less issue's with bonnet clearance etc.

I now have the very latest GRS version fitted and it is great.

Hope this helps.

I doubt it pal.
Before Graham was making twin pass coolers he was making single pass item, from other coolers for us about 7 years ago (Saab900)

They were tried and tested on many peoples cars from our ends before the design was changed to twin pass & also the design changed again so we didnt need to cut away any slampanel etc..

Anyways, top quality coolers.

OK Mr Pedantic. In the context of the current conversation, the first GRS Twin-Pass Cooler for the RST.

Was not ment for you to take offence just explaining that there has been so much development in the GRS intercoolers.

Thanks to so many different people asking for changes, however small. Then for Graham to take that and make use of the info and make the coolers as good as they are now shows what sort of product you would expect.



HTH

the tabs on my one have been welded right on the front cause i have my fans on the cooler itself.

if you are sticking the fans on the rad then graham usually welds the tabs towards the middle of the cooler i think....
