Yeah this does make a difference to engine temps apparently. The previous owner of my car told me it would always run hot at the track until they fitted a cooler, never goes over half now (even at the OP 1hr last year in 40+ deg heat!!).

Still to this day I have not had a over heating problem on the track, knocks on wood :lol:
But for track I think they would be a great mod for the car as it would give the oil a longer life.

Not yet. Got a few niggling drivetrain issues to get sorted. Got a new steering rack coming & some rebuilt driveshafts to be done next week.

Its a maybe from me at this stage - all dependant on whether I can get the steering rack & driveshafts rebuilt & swapped out by them. The plan is definitely to have done so, but you know what these f**king cars are like! :lol:
I just fear it will be a $500 tilt tray ride back to sydney if I dont at least do the driveshafts. They sound like they want to fall out at the moment!

Sadly it's unlikely I'll make this, I'm racing at EC in 3 weeks (see motorsport section) and am struggling with finances this month.

I'll try and get the video up from my session at Wakefield back in March this week though, just don't blame me if you're slower following my lines :lol: :lol:

that's a bummer mate :(

It would be good to see what lines you take, when you break and so on then I can add/remove some of my little bits to try to lower my times :twisted:
