Hi,

Great stuff, Another V8 in a mini.

I have used a standard SD1 size rad with twin cooling fans with no issues, got 65mm wide radiator in now , same frontal area size.Went bigger with getting the supercharger , so it will always keep it cool , even in traffic.

How did you go at santa pod?, was at show in my daily, its not the same

What set up are you using for the Suspension , axle , etc

regards

Andy
