It's not top down but I have this pic, I completely cut off both the original radiator mounts, the passenger side one gets in the way of the pump.

Will this make much of a difference over the 1.3 rad with a 1.6 engine?

Also as the first pics are missing, any chance you could re-post them?

What if you put a lower temperature thermostat in? Would that reduce the need to put a Vitara radiator in?
There's three ways of doing things:

The right way,

And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.
