Chop it and rebrace it with a plate that covers the entire thing.

I can't see how your bonnet could possible close over those pipes! If it does, nice work!

And yeah, just some 45deg bends will fix that.

Has anyone tried a radiator that isn't as wide? Maybe a shorter rad aftermarket from a Civic or something that has a thicker core. That would allow the pipes to come in from the sides of the rad instead of over it.

I've seen some guys on here using that.. Not sure how wise that is for a track car though?

my friend used a civic fluideyne (sp?) radiator for his FE3 turbo track car. Of course his track of choice was the 1320 so he did not have to worry about prolonged burst of throttle.

I've got a narrower radiator and the cold side pipe passes through next to it. It's a dual 17x19 core - far more capacity than most Miata aftermarket. Just need to be sure the air is channeled thru the radiator and that it's got a decent capacity.
