I had a GRS and it was very good, bumper didn't need modding but i did space my rad further back to sandwich the fans.

I now have a radtec which isn't fitted yet (as the car is in a million random pieces) but it looks very good, same sort of size as the GRS and with a simular number of cores so i really can't see there being much difference in ACTS between the two.

Rob,

+1 Radtec's are a great fit... might have small probs if you fit alloy rad too but only with bonnet catch, same as GRS/Airtec etc.

+1!
Back to back dyno testing was done against the GRS and it performed ever so slighty better

this 1 is the earlier generation of radtec coolers, i have the slightly newer 1, still fits just as well, only fills the complete front, and the brackets set it back on to the rad, so with the fans fitted to the front, no mods are needed to a 90spec bumper, mine didnt even need trimming even slightly

my mate has the earlier type like this, n the only issue is bonnet catch clearance, other than that, its great. later type sit back so no bonnet catch probs
