Thanks for sharing this. A third radiator is the next upgrade for my CS, so it's a very timely read

The mid engine location makes is really difficult to cool the motor. I'm also going to install the third radiator, and think it's a good idea to replace the radiators or in your case, have them tested and boiled out every few years.

Wondering about the change the water pump remark in the article.

I was getting some overheating tracking, and adding the 3rd rad solved the issue so far. Install took about 4 hours going really slowly. It is definitely a DYI mod.

I have the parts list required + the directions on how to install the GT3 center radiator into the vehicle.

I'll be publishing this soon on the fourms.

Thank you for posting this information ... this is awesome!

One question ... what part number are you using between the retaining frame and GT3 vent?
