I was wondering about alliminum foil & impact adhesive If it stops the chicken burning must be ok under the bonnet

Took my bumper panel off and made the nessesary changes needed to fit the metro rad on Saturday. Now i'm finding I have a decission to make again.

The metro rad I have isn't ideal in it has the inlet and outlet on different sides. The Metro tubby rad however has them on the same side (was told this was a turbo rad by ebay twit before I brought it) which makes the fitting process a lot easier... Do I sell the rad I have and....

a. buy a metro rad with inlet & outlet on the same side
b. have a custom rad made (about £100-150)
c. say sod it all the works been done sell the charge cooler and go fmic

Reason I went charge cooler in the first place was the fact that I live on the outskirts of London, which means a lot of my driving is in town, which means a fmic wouldn't be efficent compaired to a charge cooler but a fmic looks more rally bling thats for sure Im not planning on going past the 300bhp area, which means the charge cooler is more than capable of coping, but....

The WTA setup will probably be a lot easier to install than a FMIC.

I'd probably try and source a new metro turbo radiator, I'd suspect you could get these new for ~£50?

How is tony??
and i head about davyp too, very very sad..top bloke.

in regards to fitting a charge-cooler system to an st185, i was going to do this on my 1990 st185 with a system from a cs, and found out that the air con rad is different, oil cooler and pipes are different, which also meant buying them, so i didnt bother. and at
of course if you remove air con then the rad isnt a problem.

and at the time, a lot of people didnt know that st185's had different sized ac rad's and different oil coolers, depending on the year.

i think from 1992 on they had the same.
