I was told by 3 places that I would need at least a 16 row cooler I had a 13 row at first back took it back and swapped for this one. It was something like 2 degrees out when I drove it this morning so there would be a hell of a lot of cooling goin on

 

[F2 Stu]

Too cool a temperature is just as bad as too hot! A 16 row one is excessive in my expereince and you are going through the same thing as I did, remember I've been there and done it mate!

12/13 row cooler on mine didn't go much above 120 doing 4 back to back laps around the Ring, Simples

 

[Dave_R]

Well I did have a 13 row first time around lol.... then checked what I should have and was told 16 row now like you said t's cooling too much Won't be driving it too much over the winter months so will wait till the summer to see how it goes and when it's warmer to mess about on my back under the car lol. Even washing it this morning my little finger wouldn't go straight.

 

[F2 Stu]

Wont make hardly a difference, get it changed whenever you can!

As for your water temp, not surprised it was higher than normal when mapping its sat stationary with not alot of air cooling it

 

[Dave_R]

it has raisen a few times out on track, have seen it up on the 3/4's mark a few times. Think I will just tape a few rows up for now, haven't got much time rest of this month because of my silly shift I work.

 

[F2 Stu]

cant say I have that problem, then again I do have that all alloy radiator with the wrc spec core

 

[Dave_R]

Yea think that's next on my list..... any details or contacts for me?

 

[Dave_R]

Right then the pic I have wanted to take and he view I have wanted to see since the bodies have been fitted.... shame I took the pic with my phone BUT you get the idea.

Well I've duct taped a few rows and took it for a spin last night when it was 2 degress out and I saw oil temps at 110 degrees after a long blast and that's in the winter so with all the rows uncovered I think it should be right for the summer trackdays/sessions.

Just at the moment on the road, under normal driving it's a right pain to keep the temps where they should be!

Well my polycurb windows came yesterday, had a quick look at them but no pics sorry It's going into the bodyshop next weekend to have them fitted and I might sort my alloys out Wednesday to have them powdercoated... If I can have them done and wrapped in R888's by the weekend then I will do it, otherwise I will wait till after the windows are fitted.

 

[PhilW]

Let me know when you want some pics doing dave.

 

[Dave_R]

Nice one Phil! I will send Craig an email so if I don't see him in work this week to see if I can have it on the rollers for a power run and a photoshot down the trumpets when it's on full chat

It's up OSE next weekend to have my windows fitted and hopefully I can get the alloys done this week.

Looking good as usual Dave.

Where did you get your Compomotive stickers from? I thought they only made blue ones?

 

[crezz]

[Martin M]

Cheers Crezz. Only ones i could find on ebay aren't an exact match to the originals. I'll keep looking though.
