My XE nova on throttle bodies (Project 275+bhp)

Is that an of the shelf rad or one youve had made?

Maybe my next purchase as mine is the original & 21yrs old & pretty sure starting to weep a little.

As jonelm said its from tx autosport I haven't put water in the system yet but the welds seem to be ok. I personally don't know anybody running one but the core is thicker than my gsi and a doubt it will be any worse

It will be fine mate, the other option is about £400 so quite a increase in price !

That option is out of my budget now after new rods, steves cut, the upgraded lines/fittings and all the other bits I've picked up there won't be much change from £1500

Harsh but could of been a LOT worse.

I'm sure it will be worth it in the end

any worse and it would have been a match and petrol .
seriously though i should be at outlaw in a couple of weeks hopefully might get more than 3 runs

Hi all update time mangaed to get it started and running last night with no other issues aprt from a small fuel leak from the rail. So hopefully tonight it will be on its wheels ready for some light testing at the weekend with a view to get it checked on the rollers next weekend then run it at santa pod if I can get the last few jobs done which are:
moddify the pedal box as i dont think its braking on the back.
fix the drivers door/iwndow.
set the tie bars up.
Paint the roll cage
new fuel filler (if it ever turns up)
Mesh the grill.

I have some pics to upload and if I get the chance tonight ill do it properly
Cheers Gareth
