Sounds like you got a good one Ivan. Give us the pics we demand asap bro!!

Sounds like an awesome beast, cant wait to see it with the nudge bar and UHF! We need LOOOOOOOOOTS of pics mate.

Ivan hasn't got around to any pics yet but I took a couple for him today so here they are ...

You wanted to see the nudgie you say?

... and the view most people will have I guess ...

Note the towbar ... Ivan assures me that this is not to be used for towing so I suppose it is to be used only for backing up to gum trees ... :blink:

this might be a silly question...but...how does the nudge bar + lights affect the radiator temp?

Good question, because ECB wont let you use their nudge bar on an XR6 T because it interfers with the Intercooler?

crisso> the short answer is that it doesn't.

Most of the cooling for the radiator is from below the bumper - it has been demonstrated that even completely covering the upper grille doesn't adversely effect cooling. Aerodynamically, once the vehicle is travelling over about 60 kph the air flow is either over or under the mid level of the frontal aspect of the vehicle.

In other words, after reaching a certain level of flow, the air "dams" behind the upper grille and stops the ingress of any further air.

PS My RS2000 (as with all RS2000s) has NO grille - it is just a "show" grille and has no openings at all. All the cooling comes from smallish openings beneath the bumper.

That is a physical (space) problem, nothing to do with cooling.

Looks great & my prayer (apart from the one with Brooke Shields, Jessica Simpson & me,) centred around Cro enjoying his new car a hole lot longer than the last one.
