Spirited drive and sat on drive for half hour, nothing above 83 - 86 deg and sat on drive for half hour 96 deg. Result

Thank you.

Vents in yellow instead of black....What you think?

Don't forget my cover for my pump mate....

Tbh, my project days are well and truly over. I have adult children now so I'm thinking something 2 door for me and Mrs. Thinking Porsche Boxster or BMW Z4

With your skills and at eye for detail, I'm sure you'll sort it. As already said you have to drop the front of the frame by a bit. Not to hard tbh. Some issues with the pipe work to fit but made harder for me as the original pipe work was for Clio. I would consider relocating header tank too....

Well water temps have dropped by around 10 degs so seeing 75 normal driving. Car driving quicker at better engine temps. Aim is spirited driving shouldn't be over 90 even in the summer. This appears to be the best mod I've done since the conversion was done a few years ago. Now reverse light...

Just need to put fluids in but trust me, not plug and play. Every mod impacts on something else already done. Happy it's done though was can already see where it's going to make the changes. A most fit, just missing a bloody pipe for bottom of the rad. Will have to block it as only a secondary...

Yep but I've read mixed reviews about. I'm about another hour off telling you how it's gone....

Not seen theses so good find. Price seems decent too. That aside, what I've learnt from conversion, the more you deviate from what's in the Meg, the bigger the problems that follow. It's funny as even where the header tank sits makes a massive problem. If you leave the header tank where it is...

Hopefully but when you compare the two rads, I'm not surprised there have been a few head gasket issues with conversions running hot. Must be 2-3 litres difference between the two rads. Then there's real issues with flow because of the configuration of the Meg pipes, there's issues with the...

Right early start this morning but today's the day I finally get round to fitting Meg radiator. This is going to make a massive difference. Also relocating the header tank as ideally should sit higher. Previously wired aux pump to remain on. I'm aiming to do RR day at the end of the month so...

Ok, that's good to know, will have a go this week.

Thats what I was planning as it will sit dangerously low if you don't. If your cars lowered, leaves your rad very exposed otherwise. Not sure it will work anyway because of the locking mechanism is in the way....

The problem is it will have to sit quite low beyond the subframe because you can't go higher due to the slam panel, which is an accident waiting to happen.

Yep, the issue of cooling needs a lot of thought. I'm still dealing with it four years on. It's a combination of issues. First the size of rad. Meg won't fit due to subframe. When you compare the size it's about 3+ litres of water in difference. Then there's issues around the flow. Heat easily...

Anyone know which fuse is for the reverse switch?

My car standard made 196bhp at RST. Again I can only talk about my experience but with these cars, it's not the amount of power but getting it where you need it. The engine for me lacks low down torque and the benefit of the cams were pushing it higher up the rev range where the car needs the...

Each to their own I guess and I'm not trying to convince you otherwise, I'm just talking from my own experience and my car rather than generalising about every car. Also rather than getting into 'your dad being bigger than my dad', I think at 50 and equally having had a couple of cars, I...

It's amazing how money = fun isn't always the equation. I'm driving a cat C turd for the last 6 years cause I got fed up with buying cars based on what others think about what I drove than what I actually enjoyed driving. It's funny the definition of fun is rarely about how much it costs. Not...
