Got the radiator installed yesterday. Took a bit longer that i had hoped 3.5 hours instead of the 1 i thought it would take (strange how tranny cooler lines like to snap). Only a couple of things to mention. The bottom holes for the fan shroud had to be opened up with a flathead screwdriver a bit (2 minutes), the parts that you bolt to hold the radiator in had to be modified a bit. I simply cut a small 1cm slit in the rubber mounting bracket that goes under the metal strap that you bolt down...just makes if expand and fit easier. The last part is the overflow hose nipple at the top. It could be 1/2 inch shorter. Its a tight fit with the intercooler hose, but i wase able to get it to fit without cutting.

In the end...its a great radiator. I drove around town the past two days for about 3 hours in traffic. And drove home tonite on the highway 3.5 hours....no problems....I'll be ordering one for my 940 now.
