What was your main reason for going boot mounted radiator? Mine is a space issue.

You aren't putting any doof in this thing are you? Meaning, are you keeping weight to a minimum?

Yeah all a space issue matey... not even close to enough room to hide a radiator in the front...

In regards to weight... I can't see what you mean? Its not like we are adding alot of weight... & if I can some quick tuimes By getting the Power to the ground...

The car will go through a extensive Diet... So I can be competitive!

Power to weight counts. Better start a diet now!

I see you dropped this philosophy in favour of "More Power" :lol:

NoMore was referring to putting an amp, etc. in the boot.
Obviously you won't hear anything over the sound of that jet engine... sorry, turbo. :wink:

Hmmm well hoping engine wont be to loud... Only the twin ballbearing turbo!!!!

Nagh Not hugely into the stero thing... I just want something small to keep me amused inbetween drags...

Plus Big Stero's do weigh to much...

Hehehe Nagh I have not given up the philosiphy of Power to weight... I have currently lost 9 kilo's in the last 8 to 9 weeks... so I think i am doing well... Only 20kilos to go & then the car can start the diet toooo

If as in Anchors you mean Brakes... At the moment I am going to be using 4-pot Ventelated Metro Disks..

Later I may move to Custom 4-pot or 6-pot Race Brakes with a Disk as big as you can go in a 13inch RIM...
