Looks pretty good that, price ain't too bad either. Is it considerably lighter then a standard one? Is it deffinately a straight swop with nothing else needed?

Cheers man may consider one now :thumb:

havent fitted it yet so not 100% but looks a straight swap, this one does feel alot lighter than the 1.2spi rad that come out, will treat it to a lighter fan aswell, precious kg's saved, came really well packed aswell, deffintly a recomendation on my behalf.

Cool, let me know when it's been fitted. Would like to know if it goes in easy that will probably decide it for me. Thanks

what engines it going on fella?

For a LET conversion. I know the standard rads can be used but if I've said to myself that if I come across a bargain and a big improvement then I'd go for it. Just need to make sure it fits with no work or fuss needed. On kind of an extended budget shall we say lol

well this is going on a 2.0 8v turbo engine so should be a fair comparison

It's a direct replacement.

It has the lugs to use the oe rubbers and a standard fan will fit onto it.

Very well made as well.

Cool if it uses the standard rubber mounts then you can't loose. Gotta see if my budget will extend that way but it's highly possible. Cheers lads :thumb:
