Yer was my biggest concern. The added weight. It's not mental fast like before. But still quicker than most things. S5* haha. Don't say that he will cry. I was the only person static. Everyone else what on air ride. I just wind it down and see what happens bro. Arch liners are a bit worn out in places. Hence why my arches are ruined. But **** it. All in the name of lows. Wound it down another 15mm before mivw. Thinking I might be able to go a bit lower tbh. -

Mivw in Holland. Was awesome man. 'High'ly recommended. Pun intended. And yet she ran amazing mate. Epic drive over there and had many races with all sorts of cars. Was impressed that even with the mdf in the back she still out pulls away from a my mates V8 rs4 from 70. But overall ran well. Only issue was started to get a bit high on the oil temp (about 120) when cruising over 100 for a long period of time. But that's only happened since I put the 10-50 in it. Normal day to day it's perfect so and runs as usual. So I'm not to worried about that. When he engines out next year for the smaller puli and forged internals I'll be putting an external oil cooling system in there aswell I think. And a front mount. Should keep her cold. -

Coolant Tank Cap HELP, Going Europe tomorrow! HELP!
EJ Taylor replied to EJ Taylor's topic in Engine Bay
its a blue one, i bought a new tank when i did the charger a few years back, the thing is i now worry/ cant remember if i got a new cap or used one at my mates workshop, the guy before me had retrofitted a mk4 tank and cap, after ringing around searching for a Rado t and c im now starting to think this may be my only option? anyone know of any issues with this? Thats helpful with the cap though knowing yours doesnt click aswell thanks man! -
For starts any info or help would be so appreciated as im driving to MIVW in Holland tomorrow at 5am i had to take the rad out to sort out the elbow that was leaking (sunday), drove it since and its been fine, after picking it up from the zorst specialist (last night) which btw sounds epic, me and the Hard Knocks owner went for a blast, ive been driving it hard the last week as my theory is if somethings going to go i want it to go now, and i always take her up to bouncing and never normally an issue, however after our little 10minute blap to oxford car audio from his, when i got there the rado was ****ting coolant out of the pressure valve on top of the coolant tank, now, checked the electric water pump it working, heater matrix fine and all pipes are circulating, however when i try take the lid off the second i turn the lid to release pressure coolant just poors out the valve, and its sat right to the brim? does this sound like a air lock? had the head pressure tested skimmed and new gasket by stealth about 4 years ago (done about 5k since then) and when i changed the oil its clean and plugs are fine and coolant is clean and running perfect? and back to the air lock subject my mechanic raised concern when i said the tank cap never "clicked" into place, i thought this was just a corrado thing? am i wrong? also reporting there to always be a slight residue of coolant around the vavle, this then raised his concern to the coolant tank lid, maybe its f ucked, that would explain the air lock, and the constant residue ive had for years? any feed back or where i can get a new lid TODAY, or we also thought, could re retro fit a different lid? or whole tank set up? say a mk4 one? ANY HELP would be amazing, im really stuck

I thought that Ray but if you use the rubbery head gasket **** then surely that'll have a plenty high enough heat rating. Jim I'll let you know how it goes haha
