    Keeping it clean

    Spend a good long time on it this weekend. As it was a barmy 10° I thought I'd slap a new coat of Fusso on, hated by some but I like the length of protection it gives and the water behaviour is incredible. Also removed the rear plate to find the plate rattling around had caused a fair bit of damage. Quick wiz over with the DA and 3" backing plate got most of it off. Replaced with a square plate for that #jdm look.... [emoji23] Sent from my STF-L09 using Tapatalk
  2. Can someone tell me the recommended cap for oil and coolant temps for our engines, I. E. On track at what level should I ease off and head to cool down (if it gets to that point)? Sent from my STF-L09 using Tapatalk

    Oil and coolant temps

    I saw a video of someone fitting one of those, I'd be interested to hear exactly how much difference this makes! Certainly easier on the fitting front, and would also warm the oil quicker. Sent from my STF-L09 using Tapatalk

    Looks like a well designed piece of kit. [emoji106] Sent from my STF-L09 using Tapatalk

    Oil and coolant temps

    Feel I am all clued up on oil and track now! Oh for sure I think if I do 2 track days this spring/summer I'll change the oil after the second and if I have temperature issues then I'll install an oil cooler at the same time. Sent from my STF-L09 using Tapatalk

    Thanks deacon, I was curious to your problem, a number of things adding up by the looks of it. Looks like different fittings may work.... Bit of a bad design to be honest! Sent from my STF-L09 using Tapatalk

    Oil and coolant temps

    Indeed, I am guessing the other thing to this is the oil pump will have to work a little harder with a greater viscosity of oil, when the temps are lower for daily driving. I'm sure that isn't much of an issue though. Sent from my STF-L09 using Tapatalk

    Can it be mounted the other way round? Sent from my STF-L09 using Tapatalk

    Have you an idea on the fitting then mate? What's the issue exactly? Sent from my STF-L09 using Tapatalk

    Great, all good information, I'll keep an eye on the temps for my first couple if track days, oil cooler is added to the list. Sent from my STF-L09 using Tapatalk

    Just starting up so want to see how it goes before buying more kit. So would you say in the 120's time to take a break? Sent from my STF-L09 using Tapatalk

    Fantastic, any recommendations for OBD2 adapters? And is that the torque app on your joying hu? Sent from my STF-L09 using Tapatalk

    Detailing kit

    Not knowing how much is left in the gear, and due to not having much cash at the moment, £50. If that's to low, no worries. Sent from my STF-L09 using Tapatalk

  19. Might be able to get one online I suppose, I'm not sure sorry mate. Sent from my STF-L09 using Tapatalk
  20. Any dealer should be able to strap it... As they all have the records, that's the point of it being online. Sent from my STF-L09 using Tapatalk
  21. I asked for a book as well and the guy retro stamped the past 2 year of servicing for me. Sent from my STF-L09 using Tapatalk

    Keeping it clean

    Exactly, seems to be doing well, didn't have time to do a full paint seal before winter set in. Mixing it 50:50 with Adams quick detailer gives a great glossy finish from the Adams and also makes applying BSD a doddle. Sent from my STF-L09 using Tapatalk

    Well worth the drive!

    Sparky, I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on this exhaust. Do a little review? Sent from my STF-L09 using Tapatalk
