I've purchased a 1.6 running about 140bhp to go in my SR shell, its got the standard SR rad in atm, i'm wodering if its worth investing in a GSi/GTE rad or will the 1.3 one be more than adequate?

urs will be ok but it would be a wise investment in getting the gte rad. its 47 quid from coopers brand new so well worth it
