Just a general question. Is a third radiator like the CSF one Isysman bought a worthwhile mod for keeping temps down? Don't hear about many people doing it apart from when they are doing GT2 conversion.

You know the Turbo has a third radiator already. I am fitting the GT2 one to make the car the same as the GT2, and to make everything fit properly such as front bumper etc. Only reason I went with the aftermarket is because it actually worked out less expensive than the OEM part, and... it looks cool!

I'd forgotten but now I come to think about it I'd replaced all three twice under warranty thank God lol! I have heard that these CSF radiators are the business though. Think GTRNick has them too.

So today I decided to go through everything to make sure I have all the parts needed ready for the next phase. I quickly decided it would be interesting to see everything laid out in order to see just how much new stuff is going on the car. The car is going in on Monday.

Are you adding the front radiator out of necessity (for bumper integration) or is it more of a nice to have?

I want to do it all properly. I'm told there are ways to get around the fitting of the bumper with the standard radiator. But I want my car to be the same as the GT2RS in as many ways possible. So when the car goes in for servicing or other work the mechanics don't have to try to figure out how things are out together underneath. It will be as the car should be.

Also if you don't add the ducting you will be able to see its not right when you look in the front vent at the top of the bumper.

Thought I'd post a couple photos of the rear of my car. Took these last week as part of a shoot for a magazine article I just submitted.
