just found this here:http://www.pbase.com/slimboyfat/image/41525464
looks like it'd be a handful...
kai:duh
for those unsure what rat look is, click the link.
thats some pretty fair fake rust they have sprayed on there
red oxide goes a long way:P
thats one kick-arse motor:thumb
Thats not a bad idea for an intercooler :duh
was sort of wondering how to do something like that without resorting to a porsche whaletail decklid
:cry :cry :cry :cry :cry
ooooh how could they do that to that W...
:cry:cry:cry:cry:cry:cry:cry
its ok h
it might just a fiberglass one (fingers crossed)
yeah handful of rat
I tell ya, from an artistic perspective, that looks amazingly creative.
Sh1t bomb body, and the shiniest, crome and fresh running gear, mags and interior.
NICE CONTRADICTION, really works well.
is that a radiator sitting on the back of it?
Must have a scooby doo engine or something. (Scooby doo = subaru, u get me drift)
What the!
Rob...
U know, the thing on the back of the bug, where its horizontal (rather than vertical) with pipes and crap going to it.
(Looks a bit more of an actual running component than a rear spoiler, so my guess is that it is a radiator)

I agree, it dose look like a radiator.
Rob...
Looks great
Could you place a radiator horizontal like that? (even on a buggy?)
i would suggest not as to have a radiator work sucessfully you need it to flow hot water from one end to the other, sittin on its back like that would
possible create poor water flow and also it is getting all the heat rising off the motor. Would be as efficient as a top mount intercooler on a subaru
or starlet gt. Front mount much more efficient.......... then again, what do i know. I drive 2 naturally asparated cars to which one is not even water
cooled.... :duh
thats my 2 cents worth. :thumb
As for fibreglass.. our luck, shes a fair dinkim metal one. DOH!
Just noticed the turbosmart sticker on the end of the intercooler tank, kinda gives it away, definate cooler as opposed to radiator.

Yea, thats gotta have some sorta motor in it allrite!
Thats a pretty cool pic. Never saw a radiator in that pose before. hmm, interesting.
Would it be legal to have a running part like a radiater sitting out of your car in the same position as the intercooler (that we worked out) on the
rat?
You could easily burn yourself if u lean on it or have some stupid kid open it up when its hot.
tooooo phat!
It's cool, but I don't like what they've done with the engine cover.
nice very nice.
but what about the plumbing hanging out
I agree - it looks the biz, but I'd have liked to see a carbon fibre or fibreglass decklid cut instead of the original w.
Still they did make over half a million ovals I guess......
