Porkie, extra turbo cooler... Dont start, this last month has cost me an absolute mint.. just a rad will be fine for now

Mike how many std Rads you had on your car? Or should I say why do you suggest std over alloy?

all you guys who run lower than 85 degrees do you run thermostats ?

i have a pro alloy rad and a 88 degree thermostat.

my car stays about that temp all the time doesnt really go up doesnt go down just about 90 degrees all the time.

anything that anyone else has that mike doesnt... is in his eyes unneccesary!

the fact we all run quality alloy rads and Mike still retains the plastic capped std one... must mean that we are all wrong

i just got a pace 60mm one for my car and so far it looks the bussiness but its not been fitted yet

i wanted a proalloy one to match my cooler but after phoning around to get prices i was warned off them by two diff "shops" from the mags.

said they dont fit right and kink hoses or something??

wasnt taking any chances so just got the pace.

was three hundered and thirty pounds sterling i believe...

That was true about the very first rads we did- they required the top hose to be shortened by 20mm..
however the design has changed since then
