Ford RS200 Database

Rad in place and suspension all back on now (just had to collect some polyetylene robber strips for the rad cushioning), hopefully will fill system tommorrow if i finally decide what type of antifreeze to use, had thought about Mobil OAT 5 year stuff but looks like not a good idea to use OAT antifre...

Cheers Justin, will have a go at posting images when the rad is fully installed

Tried the box spanner from the tool box but for some strange reason it wouldnt fit due to the thickness of the steel :? pointless having it in the tool kit. Will try and get an extra thin wall socket to machine down if still too tight. yep, pro alloy rad, how do i post images. Is it the resistive DR...

Justin, Having given this some proper thought i tend to agree, silicone in the past seemed a good idea but there are drawbacks and i dont realy want to risk damaging any seals etc. bit of a shame because the silicone stuff doesnt damage the paintwork and i could have kept the original reservoirs in ...

Does anyone know where I can get a new exhaust manifold from for my non evo car. I know someone that can make one for me from various grades of high quality steel including the material they use in formula one cars, they have made a few in the past, however, are they available off the shelf anywhere...

Claudio, I would suggest Turbo Technics, they are the best and often copied. The prices are genuinely good ie with warranty .
