10Speed Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 what radiator are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
64valiant Posted July 16, 2017 Author Share Posted July 16, 2017 It's out of a 1980s Mercedes. Just what was on the shelf at the radiator shop that kinda fitted and was around the right price. Guy knew it was for a rotary and said this is a half pie decent one. Should definitely keep it cool. Some one had ordered it and never picked it up. A Toyota hilux was the right kinda shape and what not but the price was not fitting with in my cheep nasty budget 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10Speed Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 cheers, will look up the sizes of those. Time for me to buy one as well.... Are you running a coolant header tank in the back? (I really should just come and have a look at it one day) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
64valiant Posted July 17, 2017 Author Share Posted July 17, 2017 no tank in the rear or anything. just straight pipes to the front. got a radiator cap at the front and have a bleed nipple at the top hose just out of the water pump. trying to find a s4 water filller neck which had a radiator cap on top. but seems s5 rx7 have 2 bolt pattern mine has a 3 bolt pattern. so back to bleep niple for now il find a pic and post it. il have it at chrome if you wanted to gork at it there 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Some heat sink pipe could be cool to run in addition to the radiator 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingbrick Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 I feel like gregs post didn't do Chrome justice- What an awesome day!

Hurmeez Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 The bug is looking sweet man. BTW, not sure how long you've had that link in there but you're a godsend for showing me the photobucket fix chrome extension. It saves so much frustration.

flyingbrick Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Lets be honest.. its probably those radiator flaps that fixed the overheating (jokes) I think my eyes still burn a little. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MACKAZ Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 What's the plan now Greg? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
64valiant Posted February 25, 2020 Author Share Posted February 25, 2020 i actually sold the rotary engine in November / December. It wasn't something i really wanted to do but i kinda suggested it to a dude and he was hella keen and paid what i was asking for it, so i sold it. the money went on a loan and put me in a better position. so she is kinda going into storage for a while and ill rebuild it with a 12a,13b injected engine but build the engine or i might buy new from mazda for a 13b and do it all correct this time instead of over 22 days. need to sort some things out and do it a lot more correct so i can drive it a lot more freely and on the road. i might buy another bug and just not put a rotary in it in the mean time. we will see. but we will see a rotary beetle again that is for sure. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
