Nicely's Spec R Aero

[PhilV]

Looking very nice and tidy in there Nicely

There was too much farting about going on, and not a lot of room to do it in. After I'd managed to make enough room to get the old rad out, I took the fan and cowling out. New rad in. Then I thought 'hmm, that fan will go on there OK' :nod:

May consider a pair of fans before the summer, but it not a priority. The new rad is twice the core of the OEM.

looks good, have the running temps dropped much?

 

[Nicely]

In the three hours its been fitted and the 15 minutes the engine was ticking over to recirculate the water: no.

 

[slammedmind]

lol ok but youll have to let me know when it warms up

 

[Nicely]

I only have the dash water gauge, so can't give you an accurate reading. Was absolutely fine yesterday though

[kieran]

nice pics nicely, where did you get the rad from?

and thats the 25mm rad? look thicker lol, was thinking of getting the bigger one for the new project but that looks plenty!

 

[Nicely]

Got it off DB Brakes. Its officially a 25mm, but its actually around 30mm.

 

[slammedmind]

love that second picture at the new house! what camera and lense combo are you using? car looks spotless!

 

[Nicely]

Was just my Fuji S5500 on auto, then auto photo adjust in Paintshop Pro

[Robbyp]

There's no room in the arches at the rear and no clearance of the coilovers at the front... Plus the exhaust would be grounding on everything...

Excuses excuses
get it down there hugging the ground

 

[Nicely]

Don't know what your roads are like in Stockholm, but round this way I only just avoid leaving my exhaust behind when driving round town because they stick speed ramps, humps and bumps everywhere... Its actually easier to avoid some streets altogether.

Its not going any lower on the current wheels. If I can actually be arsed, I might play with some spacers and get the front down more.

 

[PhilV]

looking good an yeh I can't lower mine more either unless I wanna star avoiding car parks altogether and mnajor streets cause of speed bumps an all that

 

[Nicely]

It p1sses me off all these 'traffic calming' measures. It inconveniences those who tend to drive slower, but has no effect on the worse offenders - 4x4s and luxury cars. They just fly over everything without any noticable effect...
