Ryan_EP82 GT Posted December 27, 2013 Author Share Posted December 27, 2013 Bought a digital water temperature sensor & gauge to fit into my Blitz rad hose to keep an eye on things, the stock temp gauge has a tendency to only tell you problems after they've happened!

Ryan_EP82 GT Posted December 27, 2013 Author Share Posted December 27, 2013 @Aidan & James:Thanks lads its coming along well, slowly but surely! puts a smile on my face with every journey, i had to drive a 1.4 Ibiza home the other day and getting back into the gt after that reminded me how much fun it is @Ste yeah Roadrunner is an old and pretty rare set up now. Supposedly great quality and to be honest I love the kit too, it made such a difference compared to my ported oem manifold and a decat that looked like a spiders web lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
