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)

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.

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.

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......
