Re: Another busa powered 2 seater...
Everyone is entitled to their opinion.Put your radiator wherever you want.Mine will be behind and low where it will not spew hot water on me.Just makes sense to me not to take the chance.The placing of the fuel tanks high and above the hot engine/exhaust is not good practice either regardless of the fact that a lot are done that way.IMO safety is the first priorty.Lots of things are common practice but not wise.Not trying to start an arguement with any of you but why would you want to chance it????YOshi you said I had overheating issues.It only occurred once Sunday and I explained what the issue was.It had nothing to do with the radiator being tucked in. An airlock due to a small pinhole that allowed air to enter the cooling system upon cool down was the trouble.The car ran perfectly cool at all other times even when hitting 10#'s boost repeatedly for long end to end dune runs most of the day thursday and saturday.Memorial weekend will be much warmer and we will see what it does then.With all that said I agree that I would "like" to put it high up and in the airflow but IMO that makes no sense from a standpoint of my personal safety.That applies to the radiator and fuel cells.The other benefit is a lower center of gravity with mounting them low.The next buggy will have a better arrangement for better airflow but will definitely be low mounted.
