I presume new rad has resolved it ?
Meant to ask, any pics of the tubes of the old rad ?

1000000 % better mate, the fans pull the temp down now, not as quick as before without the intercooler in, but it now comes down,
when I can afford it Serck have some 2900m3 fans compared to the current 1790m3 fans im running, so they should rip the temp down a pair of them,
I do have a pic of the tubes some where but they are a bar and plate design so just a big flat full width tube, instead of separate tubes,
another thing we have noticed too you can now undo the rad cap without water pissing everywhere, just like before the intercooler was fitted,

Dont waste any money on wider tyres and still use normal road tyres. It's just a waste of money if you want grip.Coops wrote:cheers mate,

Buy better tyres, the likes of 888's, R1R's etc

Next time get something like the R1R or 888Coops wrote:im running toyo proxes T1R's mate
The difference will be huge
R1R is probably better bet if you use it more on the road, as at least they have decent treads for water, plus they're a bit cheaper.
Plus they do last surprisingly well. A friend has been racing on them for a couple of years and they're really lasting well on his Subaru.

I mean for the street too though. Unless traction is still ok on the street most of the time.
