My Cordoba Coupe Trackday Car Project

[RobT]

400 aint bad considering, whats the max temp on it?

Its about 10% more efficient than the std rad (mine being originally a 1996 1.8 16V unit) and good for 260-280hp - I have never had any issues with overheating with the std unit so should be ok - even though its smaller frontal area, the core is thicker and a more efficient design (WRC-spec). Got it from Radtec in Cannock - they used to make rads for the Ibiza kit cars.

is it upside down, or do your hoses go to the otherside?

I now have some Bling bits on the car

Since I decided the carpert's not going back in the car, I had to do somthing about slippy-sliddy heels on the floor.

Made templates out of cardboard and scrounged some light guage (4mm) Ally chequer plate from work

Traced out the profile and cut the shape out with a Jigsaw & bent the lips ug using the vice of a workmate and manly brute force.

Coulent be arsed with drilling & bolting them in so glued them in with the wonderfull stuff that is Gripfill - you even get high on the pungent fumes it kicks out to

Only drawback is it takes 48hrs to full go off

[F2 Stu]

It was ripped in certain places to get it out around the front of the centre console

does free make it good?

chequer plate on our trailer and its slippery as hell when wet, not so non slip.
carpet bits will be more grippy I bet.

not a fan of chequer plate inside a car.... looks, well, erm.....

 

[m0rk]

that's what I thought too (the slippyness)

I'd have sprayed some no slip stuff, or got some non slip tape & done that

 

[andy_dea]

Function over form - it might look max power but it does the job.

Grips well when dry and is less slippery than just the bare floorpan.

nothing to stop me putting in a rubber mate, its just that i had to put 'somthing' in there.
