Socks Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 I use a 1.2Bar Cosworth item on my track GT. Found the stock cap and even the stock 1.2bar cap on the chinese civic rad just simply wont do the job on track. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You often see them pitting more often than the other Jap cars. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Been having some issues on track lately myself and hope the rad cap will sort it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Only did it on track though, I could never replicate the fault on the road... Could also be the H/G just bare in mind. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
