Also would look better with the fan in the engine bay as you have a nice Alu rad and spoils the looks IMO

Its all down to packaging though. Didn't want anymore stuff behind the radiator with the hoses and other things that are already there. Perfect space up front so I thought I'd use it.
#996: Re: Project sleeper Author: spike_202, Location: West midsPosted: Fri Feb 07, 2014 5:26 pm ---- Ahh I see my rad sits quite forward so I've got plenty of room even after the fan was fitted, mines still going pretty well had all my work done for not far off 5 years and its still a Dailey driver and had the odd trip to a track, just needed a rear engine mount so putting a Bakerbbm next week.
#997: Re: Project sleeper Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Sat Feb 08, 2014 2:10 am ---- These radiators are twice as thick as normal ones.
#998: Re: Project sleeper Author: spike_202, Location: West midsPosted: Sat Feb 08, 2014 3:23 pm ---- Yer I know I was going to get one from rad tech but couldn't see the point in spending that much as the standard one is more than suffice with track use, also thought of if I had a knock or damage it in any way the pipe work is different so would need a replacement.
#999: Re: Project sleeper Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Tue Feb 11, 2014 6:03 am ---- Other side is finished now.
As you can see there isn't loads of room behind the radiator for a fan. It might have fitted but it would have been difficult with the hoses running across the back.

#1002: Re: Project sleeper Author: JamieM, Posted: Wed Mar 05, 2014 12:46 pm ---- Looks awesome exceptional attention to detail.
#1003: Re: Project sleeper Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Sat May 03, 2014 9:43 am ---- Well although the car won't be on the road this summer things haven't stopped.
Standard radiators have a cowling around them to make sure as much air goes through the radiator as possible. I've got two big gaps either side of mine so I wanted to fill them to stop air bypassing the radiator. So I've got two sheets of Perspex to fill in the gaps. Air can still go over the top of the radiator but that ok because that's where the inlet is.
I also spent some money on another toy. A Trek Superfly 9.7. Not convinced I'm going to get chance to use it much but it's nice to have anyway! It's all carbon fibre, 29" wheels etc etc. Feels massive compared to my old mountain bike.
