·         Greater cooling capacity than any other radiator on the market,
·         Full alloy radiator with custom polished top and bottom tanks designed for a perfect FIT.

Naughty naughty, but very very tempted (after all it will uprate the cooling as stated a million times). The other day i went to B&Q and bought some new jublie clips for my boost pipes and even something as simple as that starts to smarten things up a bit.

Found it pretty damn cheap from this site too http://www.toysauto.co.uk/product_info.php?currency=GBP&pName=vw-golf-mk2-gti-18l-16v-high-flow-race-radiator-rad&products_id=3343

That does sound really good, how much is it? I know what you mean about the engine looking better with some nice shiny bits, thinking that i am going to bye some new jubilee clips and replace my rusty ones.

Remeber the metal clamps are better on plastic flanges as there is one tension and jubies tend to crack plastic as many peeps over tighten them and too much force on the screw head!

Mechanicaly its like a freight train I'm more than happy.
I'm waiting for some simple brake parts decided to buy Mintex discs and pads.
Got the brake shields already. So dropping coilies soon, but think the C clamps adjusters are rusted on not sure yet?

MOT I've given myself until mid Jan. 
 
No rush just spending what I can afford its a poverty project in my eyes, but getting to like the bartering  :smiley:

Mine were on my coilies. Lots of wd40 and a wire brush got mine going. Does depend on how bad they r.
Mid january isn't bad though. and poverty project haha. Has more spent on it than mine. But then u could compair them and you would see the difference (yours being a better example)
Its a good project though. Keep up the good work

Cheers Lem TBH I wish I did more work on the cars back at uni, but I was rolling in a 2.7 Alpina and wote it off  :lipsrsealed:
It helps when you get parts for free though..... :grin:

I have noticed that there are a lot of us on here a=who are tied down to a budget  :grin: Must be the way forward :grin:, Lem, there is a big difference between your car and a lot of the cars on here but this is because you cant afford to get all the bodywork sorted so this is why you have gone for the rat look.

Im not planning on replacing the clips just the other jubilee clips that i have seen.
