Not sure of the cost really as it was built for a mate of mine and then given to me but I'm sure if you ring them they will give you the cost ,, not sure how well its going to work but looks a good cooler so time will tell if its up to 500hp

I'm getting a custom top mount made by AH Fabrications who make bespoke cooling products for WRC, F1, Touring Cars and even RCM.
It'll handle 500hhp with all the advantages of a top mount but with far less drawbacks than a front mount.
Also Mishimoto make a top mount capable of handling 500bhp or so, it's on offer at the moment for the bargain price of £401.00 including delivery.

Reduced pipework length, ease of install, no need to go chopping the front panel and bumper as the cheaper front mounts require, and as you've said the car will look standard and a sleeper.

I run the mishimoto X line radiator. Bit of a squeeze using the std fans and having a fmic pipe up there. Works fantastically, only drawback is it keeps the engine oil too cool in winter. cant get any were near 80c

I will use the mishimoto fan cowl which i think allows more room, you can get them on ebay for £40.

I do like the white Hatchback STi's, they are nearly as fast as the WR blue cars.
What has been done to the car in order to achieve the high BHP, I'm assuming that is at the crankshaft - have you had the car remapped for UK fuel or do you run with octane booster?

i just posted my own build thread in this forum if you'd like to check it out ... on an American " mustang dyno" it made 590awhp/490awtq which typically reads anywhere from 15% lower than a dynojet / dynodynamics dyno so on one of those dyno's it made 680/564 at the wheels .... so still @ the crank add 30% on the first numbers and 15% to the second set of numbers

Fitted the front mount from teg sport ,, was a great fit without any need to cut anything and bolted strait on ,, although I did cut away the plastic brace that sits in front of it ,,,, perrin theam going on with the whole car so thought I'd Cheat and spray a perrin sign on it lol ,,, will do the rest of the pipe work once iv fitted some more parts and I'm closer to mapping ,, might relocate the numberplate aswell but not sure yet

Many thanks to Rob with the answers to my questions, I do prefer the look of the later bumper personally.
Plus I really screwed down my local dealer to the floor and managed to get all the parts around £200 cheaper than other dealers were quoting me.
The bumper and trims will still need painting as they aren't available in WR blue, I don't think I have seen a WR blue car with this bumper so hopefully should look pretty good.

I don't see why not but you'd have to collect from Abergavenny, as my bumper and trims need to be repainted WR blue the dealer mixed and matched the parts to get the best price possible.
