Rad Lowering..again

[dirtdog 4]

how many mm can the rad be dropped/tilted/whatever before having to cut out the lower section and having it kissing the floor hello every bump it comes across?

 

I need 150mm and i'm guessing that it's quite a tall order..

Is this low enough? From this thread - http://forum.205gtidrivers.com/index.php?showtopic=99618&st=20

Hmmm..maybe. Is that tilted aswell Tom? The other pics Jrod posted up makes it look like the top is tilting forward?

 

And do you happen to know the height of a gti rad in mm? I've got the TD one in mine so it's a bit of a beast. It's definatley wider and thicker than the one in the picture.

gti rad core -

• Size (H x W x T): 610 x 288 x 32 mm
  

 

TD rad core -

• Size (H x W x T): 648 x 305 x 53 mm
  

end tanks are similar, TD lower outlet is angled backwards afaik.

Thanks meirion. I'll get my tape measure out and see what's going on..

 

I assume my TD rad will stand 38mm taller than a gti rad , before & after lowering..
