The V8 Owners Forum -

Well I'm getting warm, Had a good, and fast reply from the man at Allisport. They deal with Land and range rovers mainly by the look of things, he's estimated that one can be done for about £355 plus vat, minutes later a reply from Radtec, they could also price me one up if i send them a drawing. no...

Thats bloody cheap!

What brand is that? do you have a link or owt?

Sheesh

I'm thinking after reading your neighbouoring thread that having the rad low would not be good, as it pumps UP! So submitted a few enquiries, one with Allisport.... wont be cheap though thats for sure

Cheers TVRLeigh, My thinking is that the Radtec cossie off the peg one (£311) will go straight onto side mounts, and top mount can be easily bracketed I reckon. the only downside will be that it sits lower, which might look a bit daft, but it would allow me to fit big headlights, and clear the engin...

Cheers. I don't suppose you have any pictures handy, just been through some of the members cars on here to see how standard SD1 works and how onther have them hooked up.

Theres not a lot of size info available on sites, been looking on Forge and Radtec mainly.

Hi Bob, long time since I have been on your site, but its sure good to see it on the road!

Clean, I like that, and the badge doesn't lie!

Here is a radtec one, I think they are smaller on Cossies, not as tall, to make way for the intercooler stuffed in front. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/0803/fastmaul/ztee24%20build/IMG_0638.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/0803/fastmaul/ztee24%20build/IMG_0629.jpg but then that looks tall. ...

I was going to try get a custom one made up cos the one i got from a cooking or v6 model for sizing up has inlet and outlet at opposite sides to where the original Rover set up was, but noticed this week that Cossie ones would fit a lot better as it appears they have inlet and outlet in the same pla...

Hiya Pete!

No probs. :) it gave me the push to pop back in and say hello. :D Now its coming to the end of the year...again! :shock: It helped to pin down exactly what I have been wasting my time on! Well not a waste, I'm ready to do some quality work on the Sierra now. Few finishing touches to my 40MPG fun van...

Hiya, I have not been on for a while. Don't usually do teh 'look i'm back threads' :roll: but to save deletion, i thought i'd let you know what i bin upto and get me in the swing of things for my V8 project, i'll be around more... :) Been a mad year buying and selling. None of em V8 sadly. My poor V...

Thanks ian, thats pretty much what my mate mentioned ages ago, and he has spent some years running drag race yank tanks. Plus i have done sound courses, I guess with all that bass rumble the thin stainless item will rattle like tin can. :lol: So the steel item may not be a bad buy. ;) Also Cossies a...

Hi mate, i used to go on the old site a fair bit then the v8 project got accidently shelved , so i not bin around much! Really keen to sort thits car now.

2.5 should be ok, guy who built it amed to put a standard cossie back box on. might have a word...

Is 2.5 inch exhaust bore on a OMP exhaust any good. 3.5 Rover Holley carb and edelbrock intake IIRC. I can probably take my car to JP exhausts, ( http://www.jpexhausts.co.uk/ ) and comback with one of their mild steel custom pipes in 3" fitted £260+vat w/o down tubes (from my decent cast manifolds),...

Great to know, i did overfill a knackered micra once and clouda few lanes of motorway, it was knackered though, so that was burnt oil i think!
