Are those calipers bigger than the Brembo's?
Do you use the car on the road much? I was always under the impression that with road cars it was better to have the dust seals.
Post number 27 on page 1 made me chuckle.
You know, I'm really not sure if it would be of any use on this thing!
It's currently on michelin Pilot sport 2's, not the most grippy tyre in the world, but it really struggles to put the power down already out of the bends with just 230bhp. I think having 300bhp+ in a FWD track car would probably be pretty pointless.
120mph in the bends must take some building up to.
Straight fit dani, it has all the stock mounting lugs and everything including OEM end connections and the sender positions. It's just a thicker core and has larger end tanks so hopefully the increased capacity and more water through the core will help
i bought 1 of these for the build too great bits of kit and a damn good fit too.
Folly at Combe is just over 120mph taken absolutely flat out in the dry
That's good to hear Airs Cheers man
I've had one person mention that his rad didn't seal up fully when he fitting it re-using his old O-ring on the push fit connectors.
To be safe I think i'll order up some new O-rings from TPS, and possibly a rad tap too given my recent mystery tap opening event!
I can definitely vouch for this radiator. I fitted one to my S3 and during 45c-48c ambient temps the coolant temp would sit at 88c-90c while driving the car relatively hard. My radiator fan burnt out and I was still confident enough to drive the car home (15km), just turned off while I stopped in traffic.
Fitment is great but since its thicker it does interfere with that A/C tank thingy. Just needed to be persuaded out the way a bit more.
Flanges on the other hand are a pita. I tried new o-rings, 2x o-rings but still got some leakage. In the end I sealed up the flanges with 1 o-ring and sikaflex, its my new best friend when it comes to coolant leaks
* something that has crossed my mind. You know how there is a tap on the bottom flange. It might be a good idea to fit the same type of flange to the top of the radiator, that way you could bleed the coolant system
