RXphil,
i have just took delievery of the same front mount, but i can not work out the brackets for the rad ? anychance you could take some more pics pls thanks

How do you find your standard handbrake for drifting ? or you using a hydro brake ?

 
I find mine CRAP !
 
I am going to change the pads as they are a little low. They will lock them in the wet, but not a hope in the dry :spank

a local supplier !
 
made them up in 2 days, £40 for the 3 x 90 degree.
 
the dark blue one on the panspeed elbow is off a dennis refuse lorry LOL

/\\ yep that is me

I will get some pics of under car when i change the rad for my alloy one.
 
Drifting was great, i was really happy with how the car performed !
 
loads of pics on DW

Bobbit - yep front bumper was not removed to complete this.
 
gandyrx - nope you will need to remove rad to reposition,you will also need to play with the hoses to get them to work ie cut and rejoin( i have just bodged them for now,but will get decent ones made locally) and yes i could of kept the ps cooling pipe but bent it so much trying, i didnt like the angles it had so just removed it.
 
jonofd3 - ideally would of kept,but car ran all day sat at pod,lock to lock drifting and had no probs with temps from any fluids

yeah still keep the standerd double fans and undertray. I did have to dispose of power steering cooling pipe, just looped it with high pressure hose. I might even loose the ps all together in time.

some of it is a little pikey spec, but will make up better brackets now i know it works




 
i just used some strips of metal and built l shaped brackets off the support that runs in front of the engine. then i bent them over ontop of the radiator when bolted on, so ic sits tight ontop at the back so the air cant pass between them. had a few tabs alloy welded onto the ic and its monted via some rubber bush thingys so it can flex.
 
I guess you will always get heak soak with the ic in the engine bay, as long as temps get down quickly while on the move i will be happy.

yeah i did have to invert and change the angle the radiator sits at,

No access to a comander at the moment, so unsure ?, still heat soaks when stood still ! and freezing cold after a run. I am even tempted to fit a fan on the top of the ic.

Hi
Just finished off my v-mount setup and run the hole day at pod drifting and the setup works well, i have a alloy rad to go in place of the standerd one thats on there now and some ducting to fab up to keep the air going where i want it.


need to get the 255 in and 80mm downpipe then back to pip to plump the inj in on the panspeed elbow and tweek my map.

An amazing car ! inspires me:god, but aint gona happen :2Rolleyes

sorry to bump thread, but is this your car matt ? trying to see how low you had the cuscos set ?

Ditto
 
£1k for both insured fully comp (mirror no claims, her policy :Thumbsup!)
Hers is a daily driver 30 miles a day to be a hotel recieption, and i still use the same amount of fuel as her only on the weekends :spank
 
5k to run a car a year is not that much !
