(Tuned) Zetec and Polo Rad - trackdays

Hi,

Anyone using a tuned (or standard) zetec with a polo rad? Does it cope ok even on track or is a bigger rad needed?

Cheers,
James

Polo rad should cope perfectly well.

polo rad works very well, dont go for a bigger one as i have to cover some of the grill in temps below 5deg.

Stop-go traffic in summer is what you need a big radiator for. Trackdays, going quickly with good airflow is no problem
