I’m not hugely fussed about the heat exchanger, the joints to the rad have caused me no end of headaches since fitting the DO88 radiator. Car only ever gets used for track days (last used for a ring trip in Nov 24, next use is a ring trip in April)All of those things sound good in my opinion. Removing the gearbox heat exchanger can obviously effect how long the gearbox can take to warm up, but the trade off of this depends on what you use the car for and your climate. Though the proper thermostat should offset some of the negatives of removing the heat exchanger. Some of the DCT boys can chime in on their setup here I’m sure.
If you’re in the UK and want a CSF manual radiator, I have one spare.
Ooooo I am UK based, how much would you want for the CSF?
