    Love the idea but is that going to give you the required cooling? Questioning the surface area!

    in pairs one behind the other doesnt seem the best idea to me to be honest

    That does look a pretty damned good way of doing it. Impressive fabbing there!

    Good luck with the tests.

    Very nice, loving this id! :thumbsup:

    The surface area might be a bit smaller but i think the airflow will be higher. Dont know if it will be any better then the standard rad but i think it will work and it already looks better!

    Is there sufficient ground clearance in the front valance, Schaumi? A speed bump could potentially damage either the rad or plumbing.

    Just the same it does look very impressive.

    yes there is enough clearance on the front - no problems the last 3500km (~2200mls)

    @100km/h (~60mph) 26°C (79°F) -> ~45°C (113°F) Air Temperature
    @160km/h (~100mp/h) 26°C (79°F) -> ~40°C (104°F) Air Temperature

    Hey good to see you back Schaumi! Noticed that some of the pics no longer work and was worried you'd given up!

    Everything going ok with the car?
    I hate all southerners. As a point of reference, I'm stood at the north pole.
