Forge Motorsport Releases Alloy Radiator for Golf GTI Mk7

Forge Motorsport’s range of precision tuning parts for hot VWs continues to grow at an ever-more impressive rate, and the latest design to emerge from the company’s Gloucestershire R&D division is this stunning ‘OEM+’ radiator for the sharply styled VW Golf Mk7 GTI.

Forge’s engineering team looked long and hard at the factory design in order to create an uprated and larger part that still fits on the stock mounts, with no cutting or trimming of any sort required. This new radiator is a vast improvement over the efficacy of the OEM part and uses a thicker core with greater thermal efficiency to improve the capacity of the car’s cooling system.

This is ideal for installation on tuned or competition vehicles, or where an uprated intercooler has been installed that might restrict airflow. As you might expect from Forge, although the part is made to their usual motorsport quality, this unit is still compatible with vehicles fitted with air conditioning.

As standard, the radiator comes with black end tanks and a silver core to replicate the OEM look. If required, drivers can choose and even more stealthy ‘all black’ finish for those that want to be cool and utterly subtle all at the same time.

As well as an improved flow path, Forge’s engineers have maximised the surface area and utilised a high efficiency radiator core with a unique flow enhancement to ensure that the coolant passes evenly across the core and that the area of restricted airflow (behind the crash bumper) is taken into account.

The Forge Golf Mk7 Radiator has been carefully designed to bolt in as a direct replacement to the OEM part in a short time, with the most simple of hand tools. It is priced at £577.00 + VAT.

2018 Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster Review

“Supercars just don’t excite me anymore.” These words, spoken to me over a month ago by another journalist, friend, and (so-called) enthusiast were echoing in my head for far too long, but they’ve finally been drowned out. Drowned out by the wail of a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine mounted in the middle of the new Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster. My friend’s point is that back in the good old days, there was a crop of supercars that captured the imagination with amazing style, sounds, performance, and more. Today, it seems like everything is capable of supercar performance, with large luxury sedans outdoing some of the best and most dedicated teams of car nuts, while former pillars of automotive excellence are suddenly pumping out family-friendly SUVs. Beyond that, another league of supercars, dubbed hypercars have cropped up with hybrid gas-electric powertrains that make magical things happen quickly, but at the cost of the acoustic drama, visual flair, and engag...

Project SportWagen: Going Stage 2 with APR

When we last left you, the humble little SportWagen was fresh from the development process with our friends at AWE Tuning, sporting a new downpipe, exhaust and intake, allowing things to breathe a bit easier. The car sounded great, but there was no getting around the fact that our wagon was still quite, well, slow. While we realize that nothing we do to the Golf SportWagen at this point will make it a race car, we still felt compelled to do something . To put it bluntly, we had a fever, and the only cure was more power. Flash forward a few hours, and we found ourselves at Waterfest, staring down APR’s palatial spread and the numerous tuned vehicles surrounding it. Earlier in the year, APR had hinted to us that their 1.8 TSI files would be quite impressive, and based on what they were able to do with the 2.0 TSI found in the new GTI and our time in their Golf R, we knew it’d be worth the wait. So with this in mind, we lined our G...
