Wow, this is the first time I have ever seen a tilted radiator setup on a street CTR. You should definitely also post this on the FK8 forum (civicx.com)!

We tried to create a solution that would allow the entire water cooler to have air flow without any other components in front of it. The RX7 has dimensions that fit perfectly. We cut a piece of crashbar, but I think there is room to do it without interference. This works great.

Wow this is actually really good I'm guessing these are your coolant temps? Do you have any oil coolers?

Whats funny is that when I was googling the hot V setup, I saw alot of stuff about the builds showing the RX7 lol

Unfortunately, we didn't have time to install an oil cooler. For the next competition, we will install a cooler and an oil temperature sensor.
