i might be using one, i havernt actually done my fan yet as i havernt even got it running-.-(injector problem) were my engine and rad sit at the moment i think i could just squeze one in IF i cut/bend about 1/2 and inch of the top of the front panel.

i've used my what i think is the original E30 rad and sat in at the front of the square inside the front panel. hope that makes sence, it would be alot easier if i could get pics but my cams not working anymore:(

my only problem having the rad so far foward is at the moment i have nowere to put my oil cooler unless i get some new hoses...

i'll try an get some pictures tomrrow with a friends camera, the rad etc is only dummied up at the moment anyway.

just thort i'd edit. if i cut about 1/2 an inch off each blade of the fan would it make much difference to cooling? if so it would be alot easier to get it in....
