Enjoy her this weekend if you manage to get out and about

Yes fine mate. No issues.

Paul said he's not had that issue before, I mean he still got 250lb/ft. But I got over 10 more than standard, Stu had cat delete and induction kit... he was still really happy with it.

 

[Pav]

thats because you give her some and keep the engine sweet and busy!!

Pav that looks great place! Look at the sky

Next time try not to park too close to other cars

 

[sevenfourate]

Look at that sky ! Amazing. Car looks bloomin fresh too buddy.....

I'm sure Trevor will tell you all about the mechanicals, intercooler etc.

But: This is good stuff. I've used it in modified engines where heat was an issue before.....

Looks good Pav.

Don't forget it's a bloody hot day today so your intake temps would have been higher and the engine will have been working harder.

Engines like cool air!

is this compatible with car engines too Syer??do you just mix it with the antifreeze?

Looks good Pav.

yeah i know but im sure i shouldnt be getting over 100 degrees figures while driving..will look into this asap or no track days..

Yes it will Pav. The one i linked to is pre-mixed.

But: Search 'Water wetter' on eBay. Do your research. Pick your make and go for it. There's loads of similar products about.

Used in a lot of tuned / modified and race vehicles I've read. Where heat is an issue with all....

how much of it to use in mine Syer?any idea??

 

[Sean197]

@Pav your issues go beyond needing water wetter mate. As discussed, mine doesn't go above low 90's, even on a 'spirited' drive, and that's using a Clio radiator and bog-standard Renault coolant. Either the thermostat isn't opening, or the cooling system needs bled through. If the radiator isn't leaking then it's unlikely that's the issue.

Car looks amazing in the pics btw.

yeah that's what I thought..watched a few vids on youtube last night and it may be the case of air in the system.. thermostat is brand new so it shouldn't be an issue...
will have to find out soon!!!
cheers for your input

Put the heater on full blast - if you're getting cold air then the system needs bled through.
Also, and it does sound daft, check the coolant level is topped up.

 

[Pav]

haha..yeah the coolant is all topped up
will give it a go after work...thanks Sean..
