I see what you're saying mark, it seems a very effective way! Id be worried about leaks, with the water and hardware would add significant amount of weight too i would have thought.
Im not sure id want to venture into the water cooler after/intercooler arena just yet. :-)
there is always nitros i guess.... lol
Mini on Meth.... nice!!! But that didnt dilly dally on the weekly shopping trips...

Are you sure this is necessary weaty? From what I've read it's usually if you were to go turbo then you'd want to think a lot about heat management. One of the pros with superchargers is they create no where near as much heat as a turbo. I've only seen a couple of photos where a hks supercharged s2k has a uprated radiator, the other ones still use the factory one.

It may not be necesaary at all just a good to have when its a very hot day stuck in traffic for 2-3hours. Its my daily car so need to be mindfull of all traffic situations.
It can take 45mins to drive 3-4miles out of where I live most days, stop start traffic every day morning and evening.... so cooling is a priority. Obviously I try to avoid the crazy car park of a road but still nees to consider if I were in that traffic how would the car keep cool.

I need some new rear rubber soon... any suggestions....
im seeing good things about Advan ive never used these before though. Car currently has Good Year Eagle F1 Asymetric 2 all round.
Tyres ive used before are:
Falkon.... decent grip budget option. Bit of a roll but ok.
Kumo.... too hard no grip or confidence.
Uniroyal rainport2..... impressive all round. No problems.
Goodyear eagle f1. Very good all rounder.
Continental sport contact 2.... very good all rounder
Ive never used a large blocked sticky tyre and im keen to know if these are good on the S2000. So any info would be cool.
kumo ku36.... just read are a good tyre....??
Advan AD08?
Hankook RS-3?
Bridgestone 070?

I had AD08's they were okay. Listened to a few people in the know and they recommended federal 595rsr. Great tyres but limited life as they only come with 6mm of tread. I will defo be getting some new ones when mine are worn out.

I like what I read about the AD08R.... its only the rears as the fronts are far from ready for change. Tyres were almost new when i bought the car (always look for good tyres when buying a car)
