Worlds longest Resto, my C2 2.7 19/3/18 Vent guage action

[Theo]

Ah, misread your last post - thought you said an a/c rad was £300, when in actual fact you said non-a/c.

Don't you need different rad hoses for a tropical rad?

[bss325i]

Yes and a different fan shroud.

[Simon13]

just the bigger top hose and bigger fan shroud which aren't dear new. They look epic! bit of cooling bling. not sure if i have a picture or not of one come to think of it

[bss325i]

Simon, that red touring pacer's got has a non genuine tropical rad.

[Simon13]

the fatman best sell it to me then! I'll have to see if Behr will sell me one. i'm not fussed about a bmw roundel on it

[e30topless]

great Idea running the engine in another car,

would be terrible to have to fit it more than once in this Si,

oh and cheers

[B7]

I know it's a bit more work Si but how about that red 320 mattg had. I know it's an auto but with a buff up from Stevie, it's be a very saleable car later on.

[powelly]

How about getting the one in the touring re cored, there's a place in Farnham that do it, you could put that in the 2 door and then just put a standard one back in the touring, i'm sure you have one kicking about, if not I have a good one.

[Simon13]

I put a small hole in the touring one steve remember?! whats a re-core then new middle bit?!

I don't want an auto runner in car really. needs to be manual imo. That bloody SA 4 door would of been ideal as it had a long MOT on it!!

[B7]

It was also very shit!

Put the lump in the touring. why insure anther car, more drive space and less tax and ins.

[sweep]

Ive salvaged the s/a spec tropical rad off beardymats old car which i bought to frag..and bought a new cowling too this will be going on when my 2.7 goes in!

Oh yeah, I do remember now you mention it. A re-core is just a rebuilt rad, they take the tanks off and just replace the core, just like having a brand new rad, do you want my old rad.

[Simon13]

So i went into euros.............................saviours!

Tropical rad 91+vat. 90amp recon alternator £165. Result i'd say

An aircon rad is £80+vat and a stock size one is £71+vat so why not!

[B7]

Makes sense. Good move I'd say.

Any more progresson it yesterday?

[Simon13]

no i was working, finished off a job for someone so a large wallet

[goosiegander]

Good Reading as always Simon,

Besides the shell choice any thoughts on how you are going to run in the engine? Nursing or Psychotic approach?

[Simon13]

run it in hard. seems the only way. it was ragged/abused from new

[bss325i]

And worn out by 119k!

[Felix79]

Depends if it runs on Pixie dust
