So awesome, and mix & match, too.  Porsche 4 pot brakes, Cosworth rad, etc. etc.

This scares the **** out of me:



Coolant hard pipes right next to the door X?  Side intrusion is bad enough without being doused in pressurized 200*+ coolant as well.   Those pipes should've been run down the tunnel and flex piping used with enough slack to handle any impact that's survivable.
In fact there was a well know saying in the GroupN world a few years back when Toshi Arai was doing a few results, it goes like this:
"Oi! Howdya beat a 25,000 quid Evo, Guv?"
Guv'nor: "wull Idunno, 'ow do ya beat a 25,000 quid Evo, Dai?"
"Well, guv 'at's easy! You buy a 125,000 quid Impreza".

agreed.  I like the idea of a rear mounted radiator setup, especially for what I do. But I in no way could ever justify the cost.
