We can put it on the front where the intercooler would go. Will be buying the tank and making the radiator to suit so will not be a big deal. Might be able to fit it in front of the water to air cooler. Went with the water to air cooler so we didn't have to cut any holes for piping should look pretty sweet wen it's done. ---------- Post added 16-06-15 at 09:28 ---------- Any positive feedback or ideas is welcome, after all that's y I'm on here to share ideas.

Great work. I'd love to do a 30/26 combo in my blue one. Nearly started it years ago with buying parts but then sold the car and bought back again (maybe one day). Stupid question coming, but with having a fuel tank in the boot, is the sound of fuel splashing around more prevalent than a normal tank? Or are there special baffles or dividers inside them to counter act this?
