Hi

These Rads are made from cores of similar quality as u1sed by the Ford WRC Teams. And you dont see cheap XS Power items on those cars

The guy that makes them for me does stuff for the Peugeot Rally Team and has done magnesium and titanium welding on contract for Prodrive. So you know the quality is good.

Regards,

Ian

Radtec would be a good choice, I have a Radiator in stock Ł315 delivered but either way I wouldn't fit a copper rad in my car

PM or call me if you're interested telephone number below

I am getting one from AIRTEC, as just bought a RS500 i/cooler from them and it is very good quality.
ANY alloy rad has to be much better than the std item.

Radtec produces O/E equipment for the Koenigsegg CRX so the quality speaks for itself

and I've supplied considerably more than 3 to happy customers.

its better than "I bought it because it was the cheapest available"

Look at the cores of your std I/C and Rad notice they are different, they have different tube sizes - that because the they are meant for different media as they have different characteristics.

Now compare your I/C and Rad are they the same cores? is that correct?

Do they look like std uprated items?

either way you buy what you want and I'll do the same.
