At least i know what day it is ;)
 
OK, what you see is what you get. I asked WGT for the whole lot back and didn\'t get the top hard pipes, sorry. Also, mine was a standard radiator (as far as i know) but when i went to pick it all up he gave me this other one and said that one of this workers had accidentally fitted mine to another car and it had gone out (!). So he was giving me this better, uprated one (and you can see its more impressive than the standard one and built by someone specialist). It fits on standard mounts though, so ought not to be a problem. I wasn\'t over the moon about the whole situation (and accompanying story) to be honest, but i had a bigger turbo and shiny new front mount set-up and a car i hadn\'t seen for months so I didn\'t waste a great deal of time worrying about it.
 
Make me an offer. You pay postage. I am not a great one for putting things on eBay as i generally can\'t be bothered with the muppetry you come across. I\'d rather sell this to someone on the forum in a friendly manner.

Hi Papercup

You are right, half the time I don’t know what day it is LOL

Many thanks for your pictures, the IC looks great, but it looks like it is a front mount and at this stage I will probably go for a stock set up but TBH I will speak to Kerim at Powergains and get his advice.

I am running twin turbo set up and an IC like this might be a tad ott

yes, as the man said. Strictly speaking it isn\'t in the engine bay, its in front of the front panel, in the nose cone. See the last picture i put; you can\'t even see it, just the pipes that go to it.
 
Mine is a single, so when you go that way you know it will be fine.
 
Let me know what you decide.

Quote from: peterwoldsNik thats it

Sorry, mini-hijack alert! Peter, those pipes come from an American firm, I\'m really sorry, I can\'t remember their name, I got them secondhand ages ago. Something very similar pops up on eBay from time to time, but I couldn\'t vouch for their fit. The bottom/front pipe on mine (the U-shaped one!) fit fine on the separate filters I had originally on my first rex, but would never quite line up with the intake from my ARC induction box I had subsequently, oddly. They were fine on the stock airbox, so maybe it was ARCs fault rather than the pipes!
 
And as for all you layabouts, by seven in the morning, I\'d been at work half a shift already! It was snowing just outside Brighton then, needed a bit more than a dressing gown! :)

FWIW, Ron Davies are renowned for making extremely high quality radiators. You will find them in all kinds of applications, they are also imported into Japan and used by some of the top RX7 tuning companies.
